Abstract
West Sulawesi, precisely Pasangkayu Regency, is rich with coastal and marine resources, specifically from the brackish water aquaculture. This research arises from the negative growth in the palm oil plantation and processing industry sub-sector as the mainstay of GRDP of Pasangkayu Regency. At the same time, the development of brackish water aquaculture business has shown positive growth. The purpose of this research was to analyze the aquatic environment quality as the carrying capacity of brackish water aquaculture development. The sampling stations were in traditional, semi-intensive, and intensive aquaculture areas. The sampling points were at the main channel, primary channel and secondary channel. The data of this research were analyzed descriptively towards the results of laboratory analysis of water quality parameters. The results indicated that the coastal water quality in Tikke Raya District was highly suitable for brackish water aquaculture development as shown by the parameters consisting of temperature, Dissolved Oxygen (DO), salinity, pH, and Total Suspended Solid (TSS).
