Abstract: The objective of this research is to calculate prevalence values, ectoparasites intensity values, and to identify the genome of the ectoparasites that infested the Vannamei shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) of which is being cultivation in soli, concrete and plastic pond. The methods that being use in this research is surveys of quantity of sample inside a population. Ectoparasites prevalence that infested Vannamei shrimp gets 95% inside soil pond which is almost always. Ectoparasites prevalence are at 73,33% inside plastic ponds which is usually, and at 94,17% inside concrete pond which is almost always. Ectoparasites intensity inside soil pond 69,08 zooid/tail which is considered severe. Plastic pond 3,02 zooid/tail which is considered mild and 60,96 zooid/tail for concrete pond which is considered severe.
