Shrimp Farming

Water quality management is basically the management of water quality parameters daily to keep it in optimal conditions for growth of shrimp .   This is very important to prevent the shrimp experience stress that can accelerate the shrimp to various diseases. Water quality parameters that must be managed well are: (1) Transparency and Water Color, (2) pH  (Potential Hydrogen) (3) DO  (Dissolved Oxygen) (4) Salinity (5) Temperature (6) TAN (Total Ammonia Nitrogen) (7) Free Ammonia (NH3) and (8) Alkalinity Transparency and Water Color: These water quality parameters reflecting the type and density of plankton.   Core of this management is that each change can be followed and is anticipated to avoid stress on the cultured shrimp.   The more intense the color of water signifies the more dense the number of existing plankton.   Plankton density is too high may affect fluctuations in dissolved oxygen and pH in the pond.   On a su...

One of the inherent elements of characteristic aquatic ecosystems environments is the practically entire reusing of feed materials through the natural biological food web. Fish discharges are metabolized by microorganisms, reaped thus by planktonic creatures (potentially reused inside, e.g. algea control harvested gathered by zooplankton) and in the long run back to the fish. This element is still fundamental in broad culture lakes, however its part decreases as stocking thickness ( pond escalation ) is expanded. Organic loads The organic load in the more escalated pond is high, and an expansive portion of the organic matter settles onto the oxygen-restricted pond base, making anaerobic conditions, backing off the bio-reusing grouping and notwithstanding prompting to the generation of lethal mixes. What's more, the high feed load, stratification, and restricted oxygen supply will prompt to the restraint of nitrogenous waste digestion system, including the ...

Diseases of Shrimp Shrimp aquaculture is the most important marine aquaculture industry. In spite of the hazardous development in world creation of developed shrimp, there have likewise been stunning, intermittent misfortunes because of ailments. Subsequently, sicknesses are currently considered as one of the basic constraining elements in the shrimp culture. Genuine viral ailment episodes of shrimp test the shrimp business to be better arranged in the perspective of an expanded learning about shrimps and their pathogens so that ailment counteractive action techniques could be moved forward. This requires moved attention to biosecurity, that is, conceivable strategies for developing shrimp in limited frameworks intended to keep the section of potential pathogens. The business likewise understood that a decent number of ailment episodes started from reckless transboundary development of tainted yet terribly typical aquaculture stocks. Methods of Disease Control in Shrim...

Pond Preparation and Management Prior to a Pond can be supplied for another product, the extreme squanders, which collect in the pond amid the past harvest, must be evacuated and the dirt and water molded. Developing of shrimp in a disgracefully arranged lake may prompt to trouble in lake administration amid the way of life period, which could bring about a lessening underway limit of the lake. Pond Cleaning The cleaning of a Pond or evacuation of the squanders, particularly the natural and phosphatic squanders that have amassed in the lake base could be, expert by drying, liming and furrowing. In any case, these strategies could in any case leave an unfriendly impact on the water and soil quality in the lake, which could bring about a decline in the generation limit of the lake. There are two strategies for cleaning a lake as per the likelihood of the lake to be dried: Dry Method This strategy is utilized when the pond base can be dried tota...

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. Bacillu...

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 lo...
