Abstract

Transportation is carried out as a process of distributing Asian sea bass (Lates calcarifer) juvenile. Transportation methods are divided in two transportation systems that can be used for transportation of live fish, such as wet transportation and dry transportation. Transportation leads to stress on fish based on the cortisol level. The anesthetic effect of extracts of rubber seed extract, were tested on L. calcarifer as an alternative to reduce stress. Cortisol levels between wet and dry transportation system showed that the rubber seed extract as an anesthetic material significantly affected L. calcarifer.
