Abstract. Maulidar R, Samosir AM. 2016. The relationship between shrimp production and mangrove condition in Cimanuk Delta, Indramayu, West Java. Bonorowo Wetlands 6: 59-68. The aim of this research was to evaluate the relationship of shrimp resources condition with mangrove ecosystems in Cimanuk Delta, Indramayu. Prediction of shrimp productivity was analyzed at the community and population level, then linked to the condition of mangrove vegetation and water quality. The results of the analysis showed that the community and population productivity of the shrimp were positively related to the density of mangroves. Overall, the secondary productivity of the community, population, and density of mangroves in the Pabean Ilir village were higher than Pagirikan village. The results of the analysis of shrimp productivity as a commodity in Pabean Ilir village was 323,360 gm^-2yrs^-1, while in the Pagirikan village was 185,766 gm^-2yrs^-1. Secondary productivity of the dominant species Penaeus merguiensis and Metapenaeus monoceros was 147,350 and 66,677 gm^-2yrs^-1 while in Pagirikan village was 87,633 and 47,536 gm^-2yrs^-1.
