The physicochemical studies were carried out to asses water resource in Mangara Bombang District, South Sulawesi in relation to their potential for shrimp aquaculture use. Water samples were collected from pond, coastal area and river and analyzed for pH, TSS, salinity, dissolved oxygen (DO), biodegradable organic matter (BOD), Ammonia (NH3-N), Nitrate (NO2-N), Nitrite (NO3-N), and Orthophosphate (PO4-P). The results revealed that Mangara Bombang District is suitable for the development of pond shrimp farm with values obtained for pH, Temperature, TSS, salinity, dissolved oxygen (DO), biodegradable organic matter (BOD), Ammonia (NH3-N), Nitrate (NO2-N), Nitrite (NO3-N), and orthophosphate (PO4 3--P) were 8.17 ± 0.38, 29.56 ± 0.75°C, 37.73 ± 12.44 mg/l, 30.01 ± 3.77,17, 5.89-6.02 mg/l, 1.16 ± 0.53 mg/l, 0.02614 ± 0.3355 mg/l, 0.0115 ±..
