Morphological profile of L2 Anisakis typica on Indian Mackerel (Rastrelliger kanagurta) from Sedati Fish Auction, Sidoarjo-East Java, Indonesia using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM)

The aim of this research was to determine Anisakis species that infected Indian mackerel fish in Fish Auction Sedati, Sidoarjo-East Java, Indonesia based on morphometric observation using a binocular microscope and morphological profile using SEM. This study was done on February-March 2019 with 30 Indian mackerel (Rastrelliger kanagurta) were collected from Fish Auction Sedati, Sidoarjo and examined for Anisakis. Anisakis that collected, observed using a binocular microscope and SEM. The result showed there was 10% prevalence of Anisakis. All of Anisakis examined were classified as Anisakis type 1. Based on the body length of Anisakis, all of Anisakis that collected were assumed as Anisakis L2. The conclusion based on morphometric and morphological characteristic showed that Anisakis examined were classified as L2 stage larvae of Anisakis typica.
