This study aimsed to determine the type of ectoparasites on crab (Scylla serrata) in the water of Alue Naga Banda Aceh. The samples of this study were 10 heads of mud crabs were taken from the Alue Naga waters Banda Aceh and taken to the Laboratory of Parasitology. Veterinary Medicine Faculty of Syiah Kuala University Banda Aceh to identify the take ectoparasites on mud crab (Scylla serrata) by observing the outer body of the organism, then noted bleeding, wounds or swelling and pay attention to the type of organism that is attached to the body of mud crab, then dredge the outer parts of the body like the carapace, foot path, foot pool and gills were take it and then tweezers and then putting the object glass that has been provided and observed with a microscope with 100 times magnification and see what kind of ectoparasites that have been found and then compare with the identification key.

Summary
Alat dan Bahan Penelitian Alat yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini antara lain dissecting set, mikroskop, penggaris, gunting, scalpel, object glass, pinset, pipet tetes, kamera digital. Metode Penelitian Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan menggunakan 10 sampel kepiting bakau (Scylla serrata) yang diambil di perairan Alue Naga. Kemudian kepiting bakau (Scylla serrata) tersebut dibawa ke Laboratorium Parasitologi Fakultas Kedokteran Hewan Universitas Syiah Kuala Banda Aceh untuk diteliti dengan melakukan pengerokan karapas, kaki jalan, kaki renang dan insang untuk selanjutnya diamati secara mikroskopis. Prosedur Penelitian Prosedur pemeriksaan ektoparasit mengacu pada prosedur yang dikemukakan oleh Kabata (1985), yaitu mengamati bagian luar tubuh organisme, kemudian mencatat jika terjadi pendarahan, luka atau pembengkakan dan memperhatikan jenis organisme yang melekat pada tubuh kepiting bakau, kemudian mengeruk bagian-bagian tertentu pada bagian luar tubuh seperti karapas, kaki jalan, kaki renang dan insang, selanjutnya mengambil dengan pinset kemudian meletakkan pada obyek glass yang telah disediakan dan diamati dengan mikroskop dengan pembesaran 100 kali dan melihat jenis ektoparasit yang telah ditemukan kemudian bandingkan pada kunci identifikasi.
