Daftar Isi:
  • The study aimed to: (1) analyze the degree of floating net cage system suitability for fish farming in Lake Limboto waters; (2) analyze the extent and distribution of suitable area of Lake Limboto waters for fish farming by floating net cage (KJA) system. The method of study was the integration of survey and laboratory. The analysis was the integration between multi-criteria analyses and Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Based on the analysis result, it showed that among eight physical-chemical parameters there were two of them categorized as suitable, while the others were not feasible. Among 16 observation stations, 11 stations were categorized as unsuitable, while the remains were classified as marginally suitable. The total area of lake waters suitable for KJA systems was 8.03 ha (0.36%), while 2195.57 (99.64%) was unsuitable.
