INTRODUCTION Vannamei shrimp (Litopenaeus vanname. is one of the aquaculture commodities with high economic value in Indonesia. Vannamei shrimp has a number of advantages, including being more resistant to disease, can live at a fairly high stocking density (Renanda et al. , 2. vannamei shrimp production volume continues to show an increase from 2. 64 million tons in 2010 81 million tons in 2020 (FAO, 2. One of the pathogenic bacteria that is often found in shrimp farming is V. parahaemolyticus, which causes acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (AHPND) possessing toxins encoded by pirA and pirB genes (Yuhana & Afiff, 2. Bacteria that cause AHPND attack the digestive gland . and damage hepatopancreatic cells causing massive dysfunction and death in shrimp (Dong et al. , 2. AHPND-affected shrimp exhibit lethargy, anorexia, slow growth, empty digestive tract, and pale hepatopancreas (Hong et al. , 2. As a result of the pathogen, cultured vannamei shrimp experienced mass mortality, causing very high economic losses (Kaligis, 2. One way to overcome vibriosis disease besides feeding with a balanced nutrient composition is by feed supplementation with probiotics (Yuhana et al. , 2. Probiotics are live microbes that applied in adequate quantities will have beneficial effect to the host because they can modify microbial communities, improve nutritional value, balance bacteria in the host gut, improve host responses to disease and improve environmental quality (Sukmawati & Badaruddin, 2. Bacteria that can be used as probiotics include Lactobacillus sp. Lactobacillus sp. is classified as a group of lactic acid bacteria that are safe for host digestion (Eliyani et al. , 2. The advantages of Lactobacillus sp. bacteria are able to survive in low pH, and can colonize in the host intestine. addition, the enzymes contained in Lactobacillus able to improve the immune system and balance and normalize the number of bacteria in the digestive tract (Andriyanto et al. , 2. Probiotics application to shrimp can achieve optimal growth, increase immunity and resistance to stress and disease (Yuhana, 2010. Sukenda et , 2016. Yuhana et al. , 2. The survival of probiotic microorganisms during the process of making and storing feed is an obstacle in the utilization of probiotics. According to Thy et al. the number of probiotic cells in feed decreased by about 10% after three weeks of storage. This is because probiotic cells are living microorganisms that are easily damaged or die due to various production process factors (Zorriehzahra et al. , 2. It was evaluated to find a solution with the application of dead probiotic bacteria. Dead or inactive probiotic cells are called paraprobiotics (De Almada et al. The concept of paraprobiotics is the utilization of non-viable probiotics that can provide certain benefits to the host. Paraprobiotics are derived from good microorganisms that lose their viability after exposure to factors that alter the microbial cell structure such as DNA filament breaks, cell membrane disruption or mechanical damage to the cell envelope (De Almada et al. , 2. Paraprobiotics can be stored without the use of refrigeration and have a longer shelf life (Wang et , 2. So far, the application of paraprobiotics is mostly given to fish and shrimp through artificial feed (Mulyadin et al. , 2021. Widanarni et al. , 2022. Noventri et al. , 2. belongs to the lactic acid bacteria (LAB) group and characterized as facultative anaerobic bacteria containing a high peptidoglycans polysaccharides (Zivkovic et al. , 2. Research related to the use of L. probiotics include. paracasei probiotics are able to increase the innate immunity of vannamei shrimp, resistant to V. parahaemolyticus infection (Huang et al. , 2. In addition, according to Doan et al. that L. paracasei can improve growth, survival, feed efficiency, and increase resistance to Streptococcus agalactiae infection. Based on the explanation above, it is expected that the application of L. paracasei paraprobiotics through feed can be an alternative in controlling parahaemolyticus disease in vannamei shrimp. MATERIALS AND METHODS Research design The administration of probiotics and paraprobiotics L. paracasei to vannamei shrimp using a completely randomized design (CRD) consisted of 6 treatments and three replicates, namely (K-) feed without probiotics and paraprobiotics and injection with PhosphateBuffered Saline (PBS). (K ) feed with probiotics and paraprobiotics and challenged with 104 CFU/mL cell suspension V. (PRI) diet with probiotic L. paracasei with a cell density of 106 CFU/mL at 1% . , and Syarifah Nuri Kamaliah et al. / Jurnal Akuakultur Indonesia 24 . , 199Ae210 . challenged with 104 CFU/mL cell suspension of (PRII) feed supplemented with probiotic L. paracasei with a cell density of 109 CFU/mL at 1% . , and challenged with 104 CFU/mL cell suspension of V. (PAI) feed with paraprobiotic L. paracasei with a cell density of 106 CFU/mL at 1% . , and tested against 104 CFU/mL V. cell suspension. (PAII) Feed with paraprobiotic paracasei with a cell density of 109 CFU/mL at 1% . , and tested against 104 CFU/mL V. parahaemolyticus cell suspension. Preparation and maintenance of container This experiment used 18 containers each with the volume of 15 L. Clean containers was filled with 10 L of seawater with a salinity ranging approximately of 30 g/L and equipped with The test animals used were vannamei shrimp with an average weight of 0. 63 A 0. g and reared with a stocking density of 15 shrimp/L. Supplementation with probiotics and paraprobiotics in feed was carried out for 30 days. Residual feed and feces were cleaned using a Shrimp feeding was done four times a day . :00. 11:00. 15:00. Preparation of paraprobiotic bacteria The probiotic bacteria used in this study were L. paracasei from Gajah Mada University from the Japanese culture collection number IFO 3074, which has been exposed in a 50 AAg/ mL Ciprofloxacin as the antibiotic resistance Probiotic biomass production of L. paracasei is bacteria that has been cultured in Man Ragosa Sharpe Broth (MRSB) media. The culture process was carried out in an incubator at 34-35AC for 48 hours. The process of preparing paracasei paraprobiotics is by centrifugation to harvest probiotic cell cultures that have been grown in MRSB media at 10,000 rpm for 10 The cell pellet was washed twice with sterile phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) and a cell density of 109 CFU/mL was obtained. To inactivate the probiotics, the bacterial cell suspension was heated for 60 minutes in a water bath at 95AC. Checking the viability of the inactivated bacterial cells was done by spreading the cells on man ragosa sharpe agar (MRSA) media and incubating for 24 hours at 37AC, if there was no cell growth then it was ready to be used as a paraprobiotic Preparation of supplemented shrimp feed The feed used was a commercial pellet branded Feng Li with a protein content of 35%. Spraying of cell suspensions containing probiotics and paraprobiotics as supplements to the test feed was carried out with PBS for the control treatment, each bacteria according to the treatment dose was diluted with distilled water at 100 ml/kg. Egg white liquid as much as 2% . was sprayed onto the test feed and control feed which was used as a binder. Furthermore, cell suspensions according to each treatment were sprayed with a syringe evenly into the feed. The probiotic or paraprobiotic supplemented feed was then dried, put into airtight plastic bags, labeled, and stored in a refrigerator at 4AC. The treatment feed was made every three times a week. Challenge The challenge test was conducted on day 31 of rearing, after 30 days of feed supplementation Vibrio parahaemolyticus bacteria were cultured on solid Sea Water Complete (SWC) agar The growing colonies were taken with an ose needle inoculated in liquid SWC media and then incubated for 24 hours. The challenge test was carried out by injection method at a cell concentration of 104 CFU/mL with a volume of 1 mL per shrimp. The challenge test was carried out for all supplementation treatments as well as the positive control treatment, while the negative control shrimp were only injected with PBS solution with a volume of 0. 1 mL per shrimp. Post the challenge test, shrimp in all treatments were fed with commercial pellets that were not given probiotics or paraprobiotics. Observations post the challenge test were carried out for 7 days and survival was calculated at the end of the challenge Experimental parameters Shrimp immune response Parameters of shrimp immune response include survival rate (SR), daily growth rate (DGR) (Aalimahmoudi et al. , 2. , feed conversion ratio (Ho et al. , 2. , total hemocyte count (Nabi et al. , 2. , phagocytosis activity (Anderson & Siwicki, 1. , respiratory burst (Nabi et al. , 2. , phenoloxidase activity (Hsieh et al. , 2.

Shrimp survival rate post-challenge test The survival rate of vannamei shrimp in K- was significantly different from the positive control and other treatments (P<0. The highest SR was in the negative control (K-). Discussion The production of vannamei shrimp fed with probiotic and paraprobiotic L. paracasei treatment resulted in better performance compared to the Shrimp fed with probiotic L. cell supplementation at a dose of 109 CFU/mL was able to produce a better daily growth rate compared to other treatments with a value of 4. A 0. Probiotics can increase shrimp growth with a positive contribution from digestive enzymes (Yan & Charles, 2. Giving probiotics can increase the production of lysozyme in shrimp. Lysozyme hydrolyze and break glycoside bonds in bacterial cell walls, thereby inhibiting pathogenic bacteria from infecting shrimp, then lysozyme increase aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase which are indicators of natural immunity in shrimp, and increase other defense cells in shrimp (Du et al. , 2. Hemocytes play a critical role in the immune response of crustaceans, including phagocytosis, mediation of cytotoxicity, encapsulation, and nodule formation (Yuhana et al. , 2. However, post the challenge test the results in each treatment According to Muharrama et al. the decrease in THC value can be caused by foreign bodies that enter the shrimp body will be recognized by hemocyte cells and then responded to through the stages of mechanisms and various immune responses to pathogens. The presence of foreign bodies can cause hemocyte cells to migrate from the shrimpAos circulatory system and infect cells (Widanarni et al. , 2. The number of hemocyte counts decreased due to the effects of the operation of the bodyAos defense mechanisms such as infiltration of hemocytes in Figure 2.

Syarifah Nuri Kamaliah et al. / Jurnal Akuakultur Indonesia 24 . , 199Ae210 . infected tissues, and hemocyte cell death due to apoptosis (Hamsah et al. , 2. Probiotics as immunostimulants mainly by stimulating phagocytosis (Butt et al. , 2. Phagocytosis is a mechanism of multicellular organisms to eliminate microorganisms, foreign particles, and cells that die due to apoptosis. Phagocytosis activity occurs through several stages, namely recognition, internalization, and degradation (Smith et al. , 2. During phagocytosis, reactive oxygen is produced such as superoxide anion and is microbicidal (Khodary et al. , 2. Pathogens in the shrimp will be recognized by receptors on the surface of hemocytes in the form of lectins, scavenger receptors (SR. , immunoglobulin-related proteins, and fibrinogenrelated proteins (FREP. Phagocytosis in vannamei shrimp can be influenced by several factors such as antimicrobial peptides (AMP. , and two neuroendocrines namely crustacean hyperglycemic hormone (CHH) and dopamine. Antimicrobial peptides (AMP. function for defense from a spectrum of microorganisms that are expressed and released in the hemolymph (Liu et al. , 2. Meanwhile. CHH functions to regulate phagocytosis through the activation of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-KB) and dopamine acts to inhibit phagocytosis (Zhang et al. , 2. AF values prior to and post the challenge tests in shrimp fed probiotic and paraprobiotic feed The increase in AF occurs because when foreign bodies such as pathogenic bacteria enter the fish body, the bacteria will be phagocytized by macrophages or monocytes, macrophages destroy antigens by phagocytizing and sending signals to lymphocytes to form specific antibodies, and the antibodies formed will reduce toxicity and weaken pathogenic bacteria so as not to spread so that phagocytic cells will easily attack pathogens (Estrada et al. , 2. Increased phagocytosis can result from the presence of various compounds derived from probiotics in the form of polysaccharide Increased phagocytosis activity through the administration of L. paracasei in vannamei shrimp has been studied by Huang et al. PO is an immune response associated with phagocytosis, encapsulation, and melanization of foreign bodies (Hamsah et al. , 2. Phenoloxidase (PO) is an enzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of monophenols to o-diphenols and is converted non-enzymatically to melanin. The enzyme is exocytosed by semigranular cells and granular cells of shrimp through degranulation. This process produces antimicrobial peptides (AMP. and peroxinectin (PXN). AMPs play a role in microbial activity and PXN with melanin plays a role in cell adhesion, opsonization, and encapsulation. RB is one of the most important parameters to evaluate the defense system mechanism of vannamei shrimp. When foreign bodies are ingested by phagosomes, it involves the release of degradative enzymes that produce reactive oxygen intermediates (ROI) known as RB (Rodriguez & Moullac. The release of radical oxygen compounds or RB activity is closely related to oxidative enzyme activity that produces superoxide and oxidizes H2O2 compounds into other reactive Reactive compounds such as superoxide, hypochlorous acid, hydroxyl radical, peroxynitrite, and nitrile chloride will kill pathogenic compounds in the phagolysosome (Smith et al. , 2. According to Effendi . RB is one of the shrimp immune parameters related to phagocytosis reactions which are the most common reactions in shrimp cellular defense. Probiotics are an important source of nutrients and can produce enzymes, such as amylase, protease, and cellulose, to improve nutrient utilization and growth performance (El-Saadony et al. , 2. Giving probiotics and paraprobiotics L. can increase the activity of digestive enzymes in vannamei shrimp. This is in accordance with the statement of Huynh et al. that the addition of probiotics to feed can increase the activity of digestive enzymes, the diversity of microbiota of the digestive tract, intestinal microvilli, and is able to absorb nutrients in cultured organisms. Probiotics can increase digestive enzyme activity because they can produce exogenous enzymes including lipase and protease. According to Sewaka et al. digestive enzymes produced by shrimp include protease, amylase, and lipase which play a role in digestion and assimilation of feed. If enzyme activity increases, the overall body metabolism can increase. Zheng et al. stated that microorganisms and exoenzymes have a role in the digestive process by increasing the activity of intestinal enzymes and stimulating the production of endoenzymes that can improve food digestibility and nutrient utilization. Protein retention value illustrates the utilization of feed nutrients digested by the shrimp body and will be absorbed and stored to produce energy (Dahlan et , 2. The low value of protein retention in Syarifah Nuri Kamaliah et al. / Jurnal Akuakultur Indonesia 24 . , 199Ae210 . the control treatment is due to the absence of the addition of probiotics to the feed, so the availability of protease enzyme-producing bacteria in the digestive tract is limited. This limitation causes the lack of absorption of feed protein which is not assisted by the presence of probiotic bacteria so the absorption of feed protein is not optimal. Meanwhile, the low-fat content in the control treatment of shrimp meat states that the fat that has been absorbed from the digestive process is used by shrimp as a source of energy and metabolic processes. The lipids are transported to several organs and tissues during a certain time (Fahrudin and Subandiyono 2. Fat is used for energy and maximizes protein for growth (Boonyaratpalin, 1. Total V. in the target organs tended to be in the treatment of probiotics and paraprobiotic L. showed lower values than the positive control. This is in accordance with the statement of Saiz et al. that lactic acid bacteria can inhibit pathogens by producing inhibitory compounds, preventing adhesion, competing for nutrients, and modulating the host system. Wold . also said that probiotics enhance the immune system by inducing IgA formation, macrophage activation, proinflammatory cytokines, and antioxidants. The overall results showed that this study gave better results in both probiotic and paraprobiotic According to Borrero et al. antibacterials in probiotics can produce hydrogen peroxide, lactic, acetic, and other organic acids, synthesize lysozyme and bacteriocins with a broad spectrum of action . actococci, enterosin, sublansin, aureosin, gassericin, closticin, thurisin, subtilisi. , these antibacterials can reduce intestinal wall permeability disorders caused by bacterial and viral infections, reduce intestinal epithelial apoptosis, and help maintain cytoskeleton integrity (Roman et al. , 2. addition, probiotics can increase IgA, stimulate local interferon release, which facilitates antigen transport to lymphoid cells underlying the intestinal wall and promotes phagocytosis, and can contribute to the suppression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and lower IgE levels (Araujo et al. Meanwhile, paraprobiotics are derived from microorganisms that lose their viability after exposure to factors that alter the microbial cell structure such as DNA filament breaks, cell membrane disruption or mechanical damage to the cell envelope. In addition, viability can be lost due to changes in microbial physiological functions, such as inactivation of key enzymes or deactivation of membrane selectivity (Barros et , 2. In general, mechanisms of inactivation by heat can result in membrane damage, loss of nutrients and ions, ribosome aggregation. DNA filament rupture, inactivation of essential enzymes and protein coagulation (Cebrian et al. CONCLUSIONS Feeding probiotics and paraprobiotics L. paracasei is effective in improving protein fat retention, digestive enzyme activity, growth performance, immune response, and resistance of vannamei shrimp to Vibrio parahaemolyticus Feed supplementation with 1% . probiotic L. paracasei with cell density of 109 CFU/mL was the most effective treatment for the disease control of V. parahaemolyticus in vannamei shrimp.
