Abstract The horseshoe crab has the important roles as macrobenthos, but it is unfriendly for gillnets fisheries because it can damage the fishing net. The horseshoe crab is an ancient, rare, and protected animal so that the fishermen unable to utilize it, so the effort like mitigations need to be conducted like using red light LED. To avoid the learning behavior of horseshoe crab, so that the technology used is red light LED continuous then the red light led with flicker is used as a comparison. This study aims to determine the right type of red-light LED for horseshoe crab bycatch mitigation by the response pattern. The method used was a laboratory experiment. There are 20 adult horseshoe crabs used. The analysis used was descriptively comparative. The results showed that the red-light LED with flicker was most avoided by horseshoe crabs, which is 75%, while the fastest response of horseshoe crab in avoiding light was found in the light with a flicker effect of 22.97 seconds. Based on the horseshoe crab’s response, it can be concluded that the red LED light flicker is better than the red LED continuous as an alternative technology for the mitigation of horseshoe crab bycatch.

Advances in camera technology and digital instrument control have meant that in modern microscopy, the image that was, in the past, typically recorded on a piece of film is now recorded directly into a computer. The transfer of the analog image seen in the microscope to the digitized picture in the computer does not mean, however, that the problems associated with recording images, analyzing them, and preparing them for publication, have all miraculously been solved. The steps involved in the recording an image to film remain largely intact in the digital world. The image is recorded, prepared for measurement in some way, analyzed, and then prepared for presentation.Digital image acquisition schemes are largely the realm of the microscope manufacturers, however, there are also a multitude of “homemade” acquisition systems in microscope laboratories around the world. It is not the mission of this tutorial to deal with the various acquisition systems, but rather to introduce the novice user to rudimentary image processing and measurement.
