The foundation of a successful integrated aquaculture company is reliable production of healthy postlarvae. Methodical breeding selection of the offspring from carefully managed broodstock can lead to improved disease resistance and higher growth rates.

Although histological studies of shrimp that consumed feed with the suspect ingredients found crystals of salts of melamine in antennal glands, the crystals did not affect the shrimp.

White tail disease in shrimp can result from various conditions. Infectious Myonecrosis is a significant disease of white shrimp in both Latin America and Asia.

A range of commercial immunostimulants derived from microorganisms claim to boost the innate defense mechanisms and have broad-spectrum positive effects in shrimp.

Because some value-added shrimp products are not affected by U.S. antidumping tariffs, various imports in this classification have greatly increased.

Loose Shell Syndrome is a slow killer of black tiger shrimp in India. Affected shrimp exhibit mortality and reduced survival rates and production.

A revitalization of the huge integrated Dipasena Citra Darmaja farm complex is directing individual farmers to raise white shrimp using biosecure protocols in a modular culture approach.

Results from two studies at Oceanic Institute indicated that shrimp behavior may compromise growth at super-intensive stocking densities.

The principle of vaccination is based on two key elements of immunity: specificity and memory. Shrimp lack the appropriate cells and pathways to respond to specific pathogens and the long-term “memory” to deal with recurring infections.

Shrimp processing byproducts are constructively used in shrimp or fish feeds, livestock feeds and plant fertilizer. Chitin from shrimp exoskeletons is used in bandages and varied cosmetic products.

A shrimp's ruptured or discolored hepatopancreas is from a combination of factors involving nutrition, stress or toxins at various production chain levels.

Genetics is an important factor in shrimp farming. Improvements in disease resistance and robustness can be achieved with within-family selection, shorter generation intervals and marker-assisted selection.

Microbial flocs consist of a variety of bacteria, fungi, microalgae and other organisms suspended with detritus in culture water.
