One of the causes of disease in shrimp both in hatchery and pond culture is a parasite which in large quantities can reduce resistance of host even cause death in shrimp. This study aims to monitor the presence of the parasite in haemolymph shrimp and pond water from several traditional pond locations in South Sulawesi. Monitoring was conducted on tiger and white-leg shrimp both the identified disease or not. Observations on haemolymph shrimp is done by taking a sample haemolymph according to Blakxhall and Daishley (1973) procedure, followed by the calculation of total haemocyte (THC), while observations in the pond water is done directly by taking samples of pond water using sterilized bottle sample and brought to the laboratory in a cold condition. Parasite observations were made using a microscope with 40X. The monitoring results indicate the presence of parasites in haemolymp and water ponds on shrimp culture which was followed by a decrease in the amount of THC shrimp.
