Study of Physico-chemical Parameters of Water and Soil around Pancana Beach, Barru Regency for Eucheuma Cottonii Seaweed Cultivation

This study aims to determine the possibility of cultivating Eucheuma cottonii-type seaweed based on physico-chemical parameters water and soil around Pancana Beach, Barru Regency, Indonesia. The research was carried out for 2 months, from July August 2022, by conducting four sampling times cultivation aspects, including parameters. Determination locations differences in environmental characteristics at each location. Station (ST) A is located a small river Butung-Pancana, B residential areas, C estuary Pancana. data collected consisted parameter data, namely temperature, salinity, pH, dissolved oxygen, phosphorus (PO4), N-Total water. On other hand, include value pH texture. obtained were then collected, processed, analyzed descriptive analysis.The results showed that location, Indonesia, which temperatures range 28.1-28.9, oxygen 4.18-6.01 ppm, 6.3-7, salinity 31.33-32.33 ppt PO4 beginning end study, appropriate range, while 7.82-8.01 texture sandy Thus, it can be stated waters Regency are still suitable cottoniii soil.
