Shrimp is a top-tier product of fisheries because of its high selling value and contributes greatly to the country's foreign exchange. Shrimp cultivation is one of the strategies to meet the demand for shrimp in the world. Indonesia is one of the producers of aquacultured shrimp, which contributes 7.5% in meeting the world's shrimp needs. Vannamei shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) is a type of shrimp that has been popularly cultivated in Indonesia from the Pacific Ocean. Vaname shrimp cultivation is very popular carried out by several business people, one of which is PT. X for making huge profits. The bioeconomic approach is one of the efforts to optimize profits that can be obtained by the company by producing optimal cultivation time to produce maximum profits. Based on the results of the study, the optimal cultivation time for PT. X is for 101 days so that it produces a maximum profit of Rp. 18,510,360,068.75 (per cycle). This 267.98 tons of biomass can increase the actual profit of PT. X amounted to Rp144,875,600.63 by minimizing operational costs in achieving the desired shrimp size target, which is 50 grams/ind. Cultivation carried out 4 (four) days shorter than the actual conditions can increase the total harvested vaname shrimp biomass up to 2.62 tons and reduce the total operational costs by Rp. 151,533,846.15.
