The study was conducted using a completely randomized design with 5 treatments, they are: without the addition of curcuma extract (A), addition of 1 mL of curcuma extract (B), addition of 1.5 mL of curcuma extract (C), addition of 2 mL of curcuma extract (D), addition of 2.5 mL of curcuma extract (E). On the 21st day a challenge test for Vibrio sp. bacteria was carried out with a concentration of LC 50. The results of the study showed that the addition of immuno stimulants gave a significant effect on the survival rate. The highest value to the lowest value was B treatment was 90.00 ñ 3.33%; C treatment was 88.89 ñ 1.92%; D treatment was 80.00 ñ 3.33%; E treatment was 77.78 ñ 1.92% and A treatment was 54.44 ñ 3.85%.
