Abstract
Mineral contents in flesh of abalone Haliotis squamata were analyzed by using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer method. Samples of abalone Haliotis squamata used in this research were treated by three types of live feed, i.e. Gracillaria sp., Ulva sp., and mix of Gracillaria sp. and Ulva sp. Flesh of abalone H. squamata contained of some mineral i.e. K, Ca, Mn, Zn, Fe, Cu, Hg, and Mg. In the flesh of abalone H. squamata fed with those feeds, K had the highest value followed by Mg while the lowest was Cu. In food, Ulva sp contain the highest K followed by Ca with the lowest was Cu. In contrast, Ca had the highest value in Gracillaria sp followed by Mg while the lowest was Cu.
