Udang vaname merupakan salah satu spesies udang budidaya yang memiliki prospek serta bernilai jual tinggi, karena tingkat kelangsungan hidup yang tinggi. Meskipun budidaya udang yang tinggi, produksi budidaya udang juga dapat dipengaruhi oleh serangan hama dan penyakit. Udang vaname yang dibudidaya banyak terserang penyakit disebabkan oleh virus, jamur dan parasit. Kehadiran parasit tersebut menyebabkan terjadinya menurunnya kualitas, pertumbuhan dan produksi udang yang menyebabkan kerugian. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi jenis ektoparasit dan menghitung nilai prevalensi dan intesitas ektoparasit yang menyerang udang vaname di Desa Deah Raya dan Desa Alue Naga, Kecamatan Syiah Kuala, Kota Banda Aceh. Penelitian ini dilakukan pada Juni 2024, pemeriksaan ektoparasit dilakukan di Laboratorium pembenihan Fakultas Kelautan dan Perikanan Universitas Syiah Kuala. Metode penelitian adalah metode survei digunakan untuk menentukan lokasi dan metode pengambilan sampelnya menggunakan metode random sampling. Hasil penelitian terdapat 3 jenis ektoparasit pada udang vaname di Desa Deah Raya dan Desa Alue Naga yaitu Zoothamnium sp., Vorticella sp., dan Epistylis sp. intensitas dan prevalensi tertinggi didesa Alue Naga yaitu sebesar 44,3 ind/ekor dan dengan prevalensi sebesar 100%, sedangkan diDesa Deah Raya 40,6 ind/ekor dengan prevalensi 100%. Ektoparasit yang teridentifikasi pada udang tambak adalah Zoothamnium sp., Epistylis sp., dan Vorticella sp., dengan prevalensi 14,3-100% dan intensitas 6-44,3 ind/ekor.

Vaname shrimp is a species of cultivated shrimp that has high prospects and high selling value, due to its high survival rate. Even though shrimp cultivation is high, shrimp cultivation production can also be affected by pest and disease attacks. Farmed vaname shrimp are often attacked by diseases caused by viruses, fungi and parasites. The presence of these parasites causes a decrease in the quality, growth and production of shrimp which causes losses. This study aims to identify types of ectoparasites and calculate the prevalence and intensity values of ectoparasites that attack vaname shrimp in Deah Raya Village and Alue Naga Village, Syiah Kuala District, Banda Aceh City. This research was conducted in June 2024, ectoparasite examination was carried out at the hatchery laboratory of the Faculty of Marine Affairs and Fisheries, Syiah Kuala University. The research method is a survey method used to determine the location and the sampling method uses a random sampling method. The research results showed that there were 3 types of ectoparasites in vaname shrimp in Deah Raya Village and Alue Naga Village, namely Zoothamnium sp., Vorticella sp., and Epistylis sp. The highest intensity and prevalence was in Alue Naga village, namely 44.3 individuals/head and with a prevalence of 100%, while in Deah Raya Village it was 40.6 individuals/head with a prevalence of 100%. Ectoparasites identified in pond shrimp were Zoothamnium sp., Epistylis sp., and Vorticella sp., with a prevalence of 14.3-100% and an intensity of 6-44.3 ind/fish. Key words: Ectoparasites, vaname shrimp, intensity, prevalence, water quality.
