The Probiotics is “a live microbial feed supplement which beneficially affect the host animal by improving its intestinal microbial balance” (Fuller, 1992). The scientific shrimp culture started during 1980s. There is about 1.2 million hectare of brackish water available for shrimp culture in India. This shrimp culture is carried out by traditional, extensive, semiintensive and intensive method...

a case study was carried out to see the impacts of shrimp culture on the surface (pond) and ground water (tube-well) quality in three coastal sub-districts of bagherhat sadar, rampal and morrelganj of bangladesh. the people of rampal (100%), morrelgonj (87.5%) and bagherhat (75.5%) expressed that salinity of both surface and ground water increased after shrimp culture, and water becomes more tu...

The present study identifies and quantifies appropriate sites for brackish water aquaculture development in southwestern Bangladesh using remote sensing, GPS and geographical information systems (GIS). A colour composite Landsat TM image from 1996 covering the southwestern part of Bangladesh was used to identify the extent of brackish water and to classify land use. The remotely sensed data wer...

The COVID-19 pandemic is now spreading throughout the world affecting the agricultural activities including fish and shrimp culture sectors. Most of the shrimp producing countries particularly in South-east Asia have been affected due to the lockdown, quarantine roles and regulations ordered by the countries, which was assigned to reduce and control the COVID-19 pandemic spreading in the globe....

Lactobacillus plantarum, as a potential lactic acid and protease producer, was used for biological extraction of chitin from shrimp shell. L. plantarum was grown in a batch culture containing shrimp shell powder and date syrup, incubated at 30 °C. The produced organic acids and proteases in L. plantarum culture were able to demineralize and deproteinize shrimp shell. Percentages of deproteiniza...

Research on crustacean viruses is hampered by the lack of continuous cell lines susceptible to them. To overcome this problem, we previously challenged immortal mosquito and lepidopteran cell lines with shrimp yellow head virus (YHV), followed by serial, split-passage of whole cells, and showed that this produced cells that persistently expressed YHV antigens. To determine whether such insect c...

Protein is the major component for shrimp feeds and must be nutritionally appropriate and readily digestible. In vitro protein digestibility of feeds and feed ingredients, and their inhibitory effect on the digestive proteases of juvenile Farfantepenaeus paulensis were examined. The analysis included animal (four types of fish meal, meat meal and blood meal) and plant (soybean meal and wheat fl...

A study on problems and prospects of shrimp production and marketing from Bangladesh on the basis of secondary information was carried out from July to October 08. Shrimp farming has emerged one of the important economic activities in Bangladesh and become the second largest export industry after garments. Shrimp aquaculture in coastal areas plays a major role providing employment, income and f...

For analyzing basic marine and coastal characteristics we selected the potential sites where shrimp culture could be developed in a large coastal zone, Bahia Magdalena, Baja California Sur, Mexico. Based on our analysis, 6 sites were preselected and field stages of work were then developed to assess the precise suitability of each site in order to develop the proposed aquaculture activities. In...
