<jats:p>Phronima Suppa (<jats:italic>Phronima</jats:italic> sp) application on hatchery and pond cultivation has succeeded in increasing the survival, growth, and production of black tiger shrimp (<jats:italic>Penaeus monodon</jats:italic>). Phronima has great potential in improving the performance of the national and global shrimp industry while also substituting the use of <jats:italic>Artemia salina</jats:italic>. Phronima suppa lives endemic in Tasiwalie Village and Wiringtasi Village in Pinrang District, South Sulawesi Province. Phronima Suppa distribution to various regions and countries is constrained by storage systems using water media. Phronima dormant’s biomass production is an effective solution to the constraints of storage and transportation. The application of cryptobiosis produces low temperature stress to produce Phronima dormant’s. This study aims to determine the effective temperature and activation period to produce Phronima biomass dormant’s. The study was conducted at the Phronima Suppa Installation of Universitas Muslim Indonesia in Tasiwalie Village. The treatments in this study were three and each with three replications. The treatment of cryptobiosis in the first phase of the study consisted of temperature levels of 8 °C, 4 °C, and 0 °C. The activation period of dormant Phronima biomass with the application of cryptobiosis at a temperature of 8 °C in the second phase of the study was 3 hours, 8 hours, 13 hours and 24 hours activation period. The highest biomass survival (60%) was generated in the 24 hours activation period with cryptobiosis at a temperature of 8 °C.</jats:p>
