Effect of lemongrass oil (Cymbopogon sp.) as anesthesia material in the closed transportation process of white snapper seeds (Lates calcarifer)

White snapper, Lates calcalifer, is a sea fish who was widely cultivated because the price reaches IDR 63,000.00/ kg for market size (500 gram up). Demand of white snapper on tends to increase, but there are high mortality problems when transporting seeds from seed sources destination location where relatively far away. Lemongrass oil had geraniol compounds, citronellol and aromatherapy odors could reduce anxiety (sedatives) level metabolism by making faint. The purpose this study determine effect lemongrass survival rate, blood profile (total erythrocytes, leukocytes, glucose levels) post-transportation with length weight average 9.71 ± 0.62 cm 11.33 1.82 g, respectively. method used experimental completely randomized design (CRD) 4 treatments 3 replications (0, 10, 20, 30 µl/L). results showed that allocation different concentrations gave real rate did not significantly affect after transportation. best concentration 10 µl/L 100%.Keywords:AnesthesiaWhite snapperCymbopogon sp.Transportation
