Abstract

Yeast and lactic acid bacteria are often used as probiotics. This study aimed to determine the effect of giving yeast and LAB probiotic using fruit waste as a microbial medium on the productivity of tiger shrimp postlarvae (Panaeus monodon). As many as 120 tiger shrimp post-larvae were acclimatized for 2 days. The tiger shrimps post-larvae were divided into 4 treatments; a control group tiger shrimp post larvae without given yeast and LAB probiotic (P0); treatment 1 (P1); treatment 2 (P2) and treatment 3 (P3) in sequence shrimp post larvae given 25 ml; 50 ml; and 75 ml yeast and LAB probiotic/15 L of water. Yeast and LAB probiotic was given in shrimps post-larvae live media for 3 weeks(once per week). Data were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) following the Duncan test. The results of this study showed that yeast and LAB probiotic at a dose 25ml/15 L of water can increase the growth of tiger shrimp post-larvae, reduce the amount ofVibriosp. and maintain the quality of tiger shrimp post larvae environment.

  • In the last few years, many pond farmers have suffered losses due to decreased production of their tiger shrimp farming business. This happens a lot in the stages after tiger shrimp larvae due to a decrease in the immune system of tiger prawns which results in mass death [2]

Summary

Introduction

Tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon) is a mainstay fishery commodity in Indonesia and can increase the country's foreign exchange from non-oil exports. This type of shrimp is a native shrimp of Indonesia which has been cultivated since a few decades ago [1]. In the last few years, many pond farmers have suffered losses due to decreased production of their tiger shrimp farming business. Improving the quality of the environment of shrimp has been done in various ways, including the use of antibiotics and chemicals. Fishery exports must meet food safety requirements including antibiotics and its derivatives, free of heavy metals, sanitary ware and hygiene [2,3,4]
