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...

Application of Probiotics: Probiotic action is interceded by an assortment of impacts that are subject to the probiotic itself, the measurement utilised, treatment length and course, and recurrence of conveyance. A few probiotics apply their valuable impacts by expounding antibacterial atoms, for example, bacteriocins that straightforwardly repress other microbes or infections, effectively taking an interest in the battle against diseases, while others restrain bacterial development over the gut divider (translocation), improve the mucous obstruction work by expanding the generation of inborn insusceptible particles, or regulate the provocative/resistant reaction. A few studies have shown that example acknowledgment receptors (PRPs, for example, toll-like receptors (TLRs) flagging pathways, insusceptible reactions, and the emission of antimicrobial peptides, for example, defensins and chemokines by the epithelium assume essential parts in these instruments. Here are a few...

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...

What is Biosecurity? Biosecurity is the process of taking precautions to minimize the risk of introduction and spread of infectious organisms into or between farmed animal populations. Why is Biosecurity so important? Biosecurity is very important to aquaculture because it prevents or limits the introduction and spread of disease within or between aquatic animal production facilities and sites. Since very few effective treatments are available for most aquatic animal diseases, effective biosecurity is the key to preventing these diseases. How are infectious organisms transmitted? Disease agents that infect aquatic animals are frequently spread between aquatic organisms in the environment, or equipment used to transfer animals from one holding unit or site to another. Some diseases can also be spread directly through the water by animals releasing the infectious agent or by sick animals dying. Known sources of aquatic animal infections include contaminated feed, equip...
