Use of shrimp probiotics in farming

Immune system:

In relation to farmed shrimp, bacterial diseases are considered as the largest cause of mortality in larvae. The administration of a mixture of bacteria (Bacillus spp. and Vibrio spp.) positively influenced on survival and had protective effect against Vibrio harveyi and the white spot syndrome virus (WSSV).  This result was due to stimulation of the immune system, by increasing phagocytosis and antibacterial activity.

The administration of a commercial probiotic for the larvae of Marsupenaeus japonicus resulted in increased survival (97%) being significantly higher than the control treatment. Thus, the use of Bacillus coagulans SC8168 as probiotic for postlarvae of Litopenaeus vannamei resulted in higher survival of animals .





In a study with tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon), the inoculation of Bacillus S11, a saprophyte strain, resulted in higher survival of post larvae challenged by a luminescent pathogenic bacterial culture.
Bacillus subtilis and Lactobacillus plantarum for Litopenaeus vannamei , Pediococcus acidilactici to Litopenaeus stylirostris and Bacillus NL110 and Vibrio NE17 for Macrobrachium rosenberguii also proved effective in improving the immune system of these animals.



Performance:

Lin and colleagues used Bacillus spp. in the diet of Litopenaeus vannamei enhancing digestibility rates of the feed. Ziaei-Nejad and colleagues added the probiotic Bacillus spp. in the farming of Fenneropenaeus indicus larvae and observed survival increase, and also an increase in the activities of lipase, protease and amylase enzymes in the digestive tract of shrimps.

Several studies have shown that the bacteria of the genus Bacillus spp. secrete exoenzymes (proteases, lipases and carbohydrases) that can help improve digestion and nutrient absorption increase, resulting in better use of food and animal growth. 

AquaPro:





Aquapro is the biosecurity product that must be added just 3 days prior to introducing the PL (Post larvae). 
  •              This application improves biosecurity in the PL stages, and
  •               Eliminates the undesirable organisms for healthy/dynamic PL.

3 days of AP treatment prior to PL introduction is part of BAP(Best Aqua culture practices) to make the pond water secure by controlling bacterial pathogens particularly Vibrio sp. It supports low BOD levels and healthy plankton/ supports bio floc growth. If the product is used on a regular basis Animal health is assured if followed as per protocol.
AquaPro is a probiotic formulation designed to maintain a healthy environment. These microbial strains are known to produce several antimicrobial compounds capable of inhibiting the proliferation of pathogenic bacteria in shrimp and aquatic system.
Aquapro regulates or enhances the microbial environment, allows the establishment of healthy gastro intestinal micro flora improve feed conversion ratio and increase weight through biological availability of feeds. Improves resistance to stress, disease and lowers mortality rates. Natural treatment to sustainable shrimp farming.
AQUAPRO have improved the diatoms in the ponds and maintained the natural source of food

Chemical and physical factors that affect the biological growth of shrimp

Image
In order  L. Vannamei   can grow optimally, it needs a place to live that can provide state physics, chemistry, and biology is optimal. Physical environmental conditions are including temperature and salinity. While the chemical conditions is including pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), nitrate, orthophosphoric, and the presence of plankton as natural feed. Should be noted that environmental conditions can inhibit the growth of shrimp, shrimp can be deadly, such as the emergence of toxic gases and pathogenic microorganisms. Temperature is one factor controlling the speed of biochemical reactions.   This is because the temperature can determine the metabolic rate of shrimp and other aquatic organisms.   Low temperatures will result in a lower metabolic system in contrast to the high temperatures will spur a more rapid metabolism.   In order for the cultivation of L.   Vannamei to work well, pond waters temperature range suggested is between 28 - 32o C.

Shrimp Disease control - Aquatic Animal Disease Report

Image
1. White Spot Disease (WSD) Pathogen : White spot syndrome virus (WSSV) Species affected :   Penaeus monodon   and   Litopenaeus vannamei   (10-85 DOC) Mortality rate : average to high, 100% in some cases within 10 d. Clinical signs : lethargic or moribund shrimps aggregated at pond surface and edges, slow to erratic swimming behavior, overall body color often reddish, minute to large (0.5-2.0 mm diameter) white inclusions embedded in the cuticle; Control measures : early harvest, strict isolation of infected ponds from movement, strengthened control of transportation, disinfection of infected ponds using Calcium hypochlorite (chlorine). 2. Yellowhead Disease (YHD) Pathogen : Yellowhead virus (YHV) Species affected :   Litopenaeus vannamei Mortality rate : could reach 100% in 2-5 days after infection. Clinical signs : Affected shrimps showed sudden increase in feeding activity and abnormal growth, then loss of appetite; aggregat

An overview of L. vannamei shrimp aquaculture

Image
Litopenaeus vannamei   is the most commonly cultured shrimp in Latin America and Southeast Asia, representing over 90 % of total shrimp production. India with its 8,118 km of coastline and 1.24 million Ha of brackish water area is the second shrimp producer in the world, with Andhra Pradesh being India’s largest vannamei farming area. Andra Pradesh, situated on the southern coast of the country, has 974 km of coastline and 175,000 Ha of brackish water. Andhra Pradesh has gradually increased its share in total marine exports of the country, with the United States and Vietnam as the main export markets. Currently, the state’s  L. vannamei aquaculture  is facing different issues and challenges to achieve sustainability related to diseases outbreaks, lack of availability of quality seed, high feed costs, unauthorized farming, international price fluctuations, less demand in the domestic market, and others. If farmers implement Better Management Practices (BMP) and  biosecurity  in L. v
