ABSTRACT

The research aims to determine the total and differentiation of hemocyte count of bamboo lobsters given a combination of three mollusca meat flours, which was carried out in August-December 2023, at the Fisheries Cultivation, Hatchery and Production Laboratory, Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Sciences, Halu Oleo University. The method used was a Randomized Block Design (RBD) with four treatments and three groups. Four types of feed are made based on a combination of three mollusca flours, namely mangrove snail flour (MSF), kepah clam flour (KCF), and golden snail flour (GSF). Treatment A (20% tembang fish meal (TFM)+20% flying fish meal (FFM), Treatment B (10%MSF+15%KCF+15%GSF), Treatment C (15%MSF+15%KCF+10%GSF), and Treatment D (15%MSF+10%KCF+15%GSF). The findings showed that the Total Hemocyte Count (THC) of bamboo lobsters (Panulirus versicolor) was highest in treatment A (1.19×106 cells/ml), while the lowest was in treatment B (1.09×106 cells/ml). The highest Differential Hemocyte Count (DHC) of hyaline cells was in treatment C (49.5%), while the lowest was in treatment D(44.9%), was obtained in treatment A(17.7%), while the lowest was in treatment B (16.8%). The highest number of granular cells were in treatment D (34.7%), while the lowest was in treatment C (33%). Feeding with treatment B provided the best total and differentiation of coun hemocytes in bamboo lobsters reared in controlled containers.
