Tambak tradisional memiliki teknologi masih bersifat konvensional dan paling aman secara lingkungan namun jika tidak dikelola dengan baik maka akan memberi dampak negatif terhadap organisme dan lingkungannya. Tujuan penelitian mengetahui kualitas perairan tambak tradisional. Metode pendekatan menggunakan metode STORET. Hasil penelitian menunjukan parameter kimia telah melebihi ambang batas baku mutu dengan variabel amonia, posfat, nitrat dan nitrit. Hasil analisis STORET menerangkan klasifikasi kualitas perairan tambak di lokasi tambak Mamburungan, Lapangan Bandara, Jembatan Putih, Muara Hilir, dan Andulung, tergolong pada kondisi sedang atau tercemar sedang.

The traditional srimp ponds still have the technology are conventional and most secure in the environment if not managed properly it will give negative impact on organisms and the environment. Research purposes knowing the quality of the waters of tamba. Methods approach using STORET method with the US-EPA. results of the study showed the chemical parameter has exceeded the threshold variable with quality raw amonia, posfat, nitrate and nitrite. The results showed of the quality of the classification describes the STORET waters embankment at the site of Mamburungan embankment, field airport, White Bridge, Downstream, and Andulung Estuary, belongs on the conditions is or contaminated medium.
