This study aims to determine the type of profile morphology Anisakidae,
the prevalence, degree infection, and correlation lengths of Anisakidae in the
grouper (Epinephelus coioides) from Pacitan sea. Sample of this research is taken
from 30 individuals grouper with weight ≤ 0.3 kg and > 0.3 kg. Larvae of
Anisakidae wes observed in the abdominal cavity, visceral organs and the
musculus. The Anisakidae larva Identification performed by glycerin dyeing,
carmine staining and through Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The results
showed that the Anisakidae found in grouper was Anisakis type 1, Pseudoterranova
sp. and Terranova sp. Anisakis type I have white transparent color with the length
in 14-22 mm, ventrikulus in 0.64-0.67 mm and mukron in 16.8 μm.
Pseudoterranova sp. and Terranova sp. have a reddish brown or yellow color with
length in 8-10 mm, while is Pseudoterranova sp. have mukron whose length 12.3
μm and in Terranova sp. mukron is absen. Prevalence, degree infection, and
correlation length of Anisakidae in the grouper have shown a correlation with the
weight of the grouper fish. Larger groupers show higher prevalence, degree of
infection and longer larvae than smaller groupers
