Shrimp Disease control - Aquatic Animal Disease Report

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; aggregated near the pond surface or at the edge of the ponds followed by mortalities. Body is discolored, cephalothorax/hepatopancreas swollen and turned to color yellow or brown. Tissues of most organs (gills, hepatopancreas, gut epidermis) were necrotic with degenerated cell nuclei. Shrimps were most sucsceptible at the age of 20-70 DOC (no infection in shrimps under 15 DOC). Fastest transmission of the disease was observed in shrimps at 20-30 DOC when mortality could reach 100% over 2-5 days of infection.

Control measures: Disinfection and discharge of contaminated water; movement and transportation control.

3. Acute Hepatopancreatic Necrosis Diseae (AHPND)




Pathogen: Vibrio parahaemolyticus with Phage A3

Species affected: Penaeus monodon and Litopenaeus vannamei (10-45 DOC)

Mortality rate: could reach 95% in intensive and semi-intensive farms;

Clinical signs: shrimps become lethargic with soft, darkened shells, mottling of the carapace. Pathology appears to be limited to hepatopancreas.

Control measures: strict isolation of infected ponds from movement and transport controls, disinfection of infected ponds using Calcium hypochlorite (chlorine).

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.

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
