Pond-condition improvements used to manage WSSV in Peru
An experiment with WSSV in Peru produced good survival rates in an area where the virus is established and where other efforts have failed.
Environmental stresses affect the immune response of shrimp in a dose-dependent way, increasing susceptibility to disease.
An experiment with WSSV in Peru produced good survival rates in an area where the virus is established and where other efforts have failed.
Study confirms that small “green frozen shrimp tails” from emergency harvesting due to the onset of WSSV contain large amounts of the virus.
Bacterial probiotics are living organisms utilized to improve disease resistance, water quality or nutrition and can be added to the culture water or the diet.
Recognizing the possible existence of immunity in invertebrates is important to understand immunological evolution and vaccination strategies.
The mini-array increases the power detection limit of pathogens and is a sensitive diagnostic method that contributes to virus prophylaxis.
Effective biosecurity requires environmental isolation in a closed system, like RAS, to culture cephalopod species (squid, cuttlefish and octopus).
Scientists are developing edible vaccines for the animal healthcare market that can be delivered directly through corn grain.
An aquaculture probiotic is a bacterial supplement to manipulate microbial communities in the water and to improve growth and survival of the cultured species.
The effectiveness of carotenoid supplements will depend upon the severity of infection and other stress factors that affect the condition of the shrimp.
Thai shrimp processors worked very hard to raise their standards in order to be competitive in the world market.
Only a few studies have been conducted with a few species. Shrimp vitamin requirements are simply trace amounts for maintenance metabolism and growth.
A series of paired production trials evaluated single-phase and three-phase recirculating systems stocked with high health postlarvae.
The static shrimp culture system did not negatively affect survival and had a positive effect on growth compared to the recirculating culture system.
Most environmental concerns about aquaculture practices can be addressed effectively by zero exchange, aerobic, heterotrophic culture systems.
Shrimp viruses have been the etiological agents most responsible for devastating losses, and no country with a significant shrimp farming industry has escaped.
