Integrated health management combines hygiene, targeted treatments in shrimp hatcheries
Maintaining healthy stock requires a multidisciplinary approach that focuses on hygiene and both environmental and animal conditions.
Infectious myonecrosis results in elevated mortalities but progresses with a chronic course accompanied by persistent low-level mortalities.

In trials examining attachment of biofilm to different substrates, authors measured their influences on the survival and growth of pink shrimp postlarvae.
Oyster spat survival will be a selected trait for a full-scale, family-based selective breeding program being discussed with the French oyster industry.
Dietary lipids are necessary for the growth, survival and metabolic functions. Triglycerides are the main form in which humans ingest and accumulate fat.
A recent study compared the growth and survival at different salinity levels of “super male” (YY) tilapia with normal sex O. niloticus reversed to 100 percent phenotypic males.
Based on histopathology and ultrastructure, the etiology of necrotizing hepatopancreatitis (NHP) in Pacific white shrimp was related to an intracellular bacterium.
Authors assessed the health of black tiger shrimp seedstock produced in hatcheries around Tamilnadu in southeastern India.
FAO published a technical paper with the aim of helping Latin American white shrimp hatcheries hatchery operators produce quality, disease-free postlarvae.
The giant freshwater prawn and the riverine prawn are cultured in India, where the per-capita intake of meat and milk is poor. Fish and prawns play a vital role people’s diets.
Research has been directed toward developing compound microdiets to ameliorate variability and poor nutritional quality of live food.
The operation of a freshwater prawn hatchery in temperate climates presents a variety of challenges not found in the traditional greenwater or flow-through systems.
Excitement about the potential farming of freshwater prawns in the United States has persisted for almost five decades but has yet to materialize.
Probiotics for marine larviculture offer an alternative to the prophylactic use of antibiotics in aquaculture, which may lead to drug-resistance.
The enhancement of growth rate is a particularly important economic parameter, as it can significantly reduce the time required to produce market-size fish.
Study shows that increasing the dietary lipid level affected the lipid composition of shrimp by increasing lipid deposition in hepatopancreas and muscle tissue.
