Based on the study, the development of shrimp ponds increased quickly (63.77 ha) until 2019, which the largest number of ponds was in Batang Anai District, and spreading over 35 points. The production of that shrimp ponds in Padang Pariaman Regency reached 1,500 tons or Rp. 135 million (in 2017), which is marketed locally and outside Padang Pariaman.

Poor waste management of shrimp culture, 4. It is low involvement of the local community as technicians at the shrimp ponds, 5. Business license arrangement is done through third parties, and 6.
