Intestinal bacteriome of Pacific white shrimp in biofloc, clear water systems
Global overview of the intestinal bacteriome of Pacific white shrimp in biofloc and clear water systems, and after an oral challenge by white spot syndrome virus (WSSV).
Responsibility
A look at various intensive shrimp farming systems in Asia
The impact of diseases led some Asian shrimp farming countries to develop biofloc and recirculation aquaculture system (RAS) production technologies. Treating incoming water for culture operations and wastewater treatment are biosecurity measures for disease prevention and control.
Aquafeeds
Biosecurity protocols needed for shrimp feeds, feeding practices
Shrimp aquafeeds – live, fresh or formulated – should not be an entry point of potential pathogens to the shrimp and/or to their culture systems.
