Abstract The advanced challenges from the vannamei shrimp cultivation nowadays keep on pushing fisheries industry improving its productivity, however, with minimum use of water resource and an efficient land. This research aims to discover growth survival rate that is cultivated in a circular tarpaulin pond microbubble aeration system. shows can increase amount dissolved oxygen (DO) within pond...

Problem statement: The present work was attempted to evaluate the probiotic activity of Bacillus spp. in shrimp health management. Approach: Penaeid culture ecosystem as a confined environment with huge inputs always encourages the proliferation of pathogenic bacteria like Vibrios. Results: From the present study and earlier reports it is understood that these pathogens alone or combine with vi...

In less intensive shrimp culture systems, polychaetes are known to be a major food item of several penaeid species. Under these conditions, very little is known about their population dynamics and the possible interactions with penaeid predation and artificial feeding. This work examined the effects of Penaeus subtilis, predation, stocking density and supplemental feeding on the population dyna...

Assemblages of zooplankton and epibenthic invertebrates were collected from a commercial Penaeus monodon (Fabricius) pond at fortnightly intervals over an entire grow-out season. The pond inlet and outlet water were also sampled intensively over three 1-week periods throughout the season. Before stocking the ponds with shrimp postlarvae, copepods dominated the zooplankton. Immediately after the...

Over the past 2 decades, shrimp aquaculture in Thailand has been impacted by white spot disease (WSD) caused by white spot syndrome virus (WSSV). Described here are results of a survey of 157 intensive shrimp farms in Chanthaburi province, Thailand, to identify potential farm management and location risk factors associated with the occurrence of WSD outbreaks. Logistic regression analysis of th...

At the Northwest coast of Mexico the severely limited freshwater supply, and the geographic isolation determines the scarcity of productive activities. Specially at Baja California Sur. Aquaculture is a major productive alternative for the economic development of this State. Despite the aridity, the natural vegetation of Baja California Sur is diverse and structurally complex with a high percen...

The acquisition of Photorhabdus insect-related (Pir) toxin-like genes in Vibrio parahaemolyticus has been linked to hepatopancreatic necrosis disease in shrimp. We report the whole-genome sequences of genetically virulent and avirulent V. parahaemolyticus isolated from a Malaysian aquaculture pond and show that they represent previously unreported sequence types of V. parahaemolyticus.

We report here the draft genome assembly of the brackish cyanobacterium Nodularia spumigena strain CENA596 isolated from a shrimp production pond in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The draft genome consists of 291 contigs with a total size of 5,189,679 bp. Secondary metabolite annotations resulted in several predicted gene clusters, including those responsible for encoding the hepatotoxin nodularin.

The future development of shrimp farming needs to improve its ecoefficiency. The purpose of this study was to evaluate water quality, flows, and nitrogen balance and production parameters on a farm with interconnected pond design to improve the efficiency of the semi-intensive culture of Litopenaeus vannamei ponds. The study was conducted in 21 commercial culture ponds during 180 days at densit...
