DSW embodies features of cleanness and salt richness that expectedly become a hope to solve domestic aquaculture problems on pathogens and heavy pollutions resulting to low survival rate at fostering phases. This study utilizes grey forecasting method as a means to estimate prices and volumes for aquaculture products and then constructs optimal production mix model, optimal multi-phase production mix model and optimal DSW pricing model. This study also investigated the effects of total profits with respect to several important parameters, such as the selling price of aquaculture product, the market share, the survival rate of aquaculture product, and the price of DSW. Numerical examples and computational results indicate that these parameters have significant effects on the total profits. Taking the proposed model as an analytical methodology, issues on decisions at aquaculture scale with limited water resources, aquaculture options, and related economic determinations can have a way to solve.
