The authors have established a procedure to reduce the impacts of Taura Syndrome Virus in the culture of Pacific white shrimp. The procedure focuses on avoiding the molting process of shrimp by limiting culture conditions.

Waddell Mariculture Center operates a commercial-scale prototype raceway utilizing minimal water exchange and biofloc culture to develop protocols for the indoor growout of Pacific white shrimp.

In order to monitor and compare the performance levels of shrimp, statistical modeling of comprehensive field data collection from many commercial shrimp operations.

A study demonstrated that VP19 and VP28 white spot syndrome virus envelope proteins expressed by replicon particles provided protection against mortality due to WSSV in shrimp.

Basic components of biosecurity include knowledge of diseases, adequate detection methods and the use of “clean” shrimp stocks.
Health & Welfare
Single-celled proteins in bioflocs can provide protein and other nutrients in shrimp feed, but what makes them enhance growth performance in shrimp?
Health & Welfare
A seven-week trial evaluates autotrophic and heterotrophic systems in the nursery and pre-grow-out of Pacific white shrimp.
Responsibility
Blue Archipelago’s re-engineering of a large shrimp farm to a modular, biosecure facility set a benchmark for future shrimp culture projects in Malaysia.

Langostinera Florida is an intensive shrimp farm with controlled conditions. Greenhouses can operate in areas where diseases have affected the industry.
Health & Welfare
The authors evaluated Bacillus bacteria in a pink shrimp nursery and found it controlled Vibrio concentrations as well as a commercial probiotic.
Intelligence
Freshwater shrimp can contain pathogenic bacteria that cause illness unless care is exercised by producers, retailers and consumers. Many of the human pathogens can survive frozen storage, but are killed or inactivated by thermal processes.

The Maricultura del Pacífico hatchery in Mexico uses two-stage selection that controls the pedigree of every animal to minimize inbreeding.
Intelligence
Spoilage in freshwater prawns is endogenous rather than exogenous and results from proteolytic enzymes in the cephalothorax.
Health & Welfare
In response to Taura Syndrome Virus outbreaks, the U.S. Marine Shrimp Farming Program initiated a selective-breeding program to improve resistance in Pacific white shrimp.
Health & Welfare
Nitrifying bacteria readily form biofilms on surfaces, and colonization by these important bacteria on the interior walls of RAS production units likely provides an additional source of nitrification.
Health & Welfare
A study examined the replacement of poultry byproduct meal with plant proteins and low levels of squid meal in shrimp feeds. Production results for shrimp raised in ponds showed no significant difference in final weight, yield, FCR and survival among the four treatments with varied levels of poultry meal.
