White spot syndrome virus (WSSV) is the causative agent responsible for huge-shrimp viral epidemics in shrimp farms throughout the world. Our study was aimed to determine the effect of WSSV Gamma-vaccinated Litopenaeus vannamei on the occurrence of apoptosis. One thousand and twenty PL15 were randomly distributed among 2 treatments and two control groups. Gama-Vaccinated shrimp and non-Gamma-va...

The Pacific whiteleg shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei (Penaeidae) is one of the most important cultivated species in world aquaculture. In Brazil, the northeastern states are home to the main shrimp producers. As shrimp aquaculture has expanded and intensified, diseases have progressively become one of the most serious threats to this industry. Infectious hypodermal and hematopoietic necrosis virus ...

Here we used both microsatellites and mtCR (mitochondrial DNA control region) sequences as genetic markers to examine the genetic diversity and population structure of Penaeus monodon shrimp from six Indonesian regions. The microsatellite data showed that shrimp from the Indian and the Pacific Ocean were genetically distinct from each other. It has been reported previously that P. monodon mtCR ...

Survey data of food consumption were analyzed utilizing stepwise logistic regression to investigate factors affecting consumer choice of shrimp as the most frequently consumed non-fish seafood in Taiwan. Demographic factors, consumer attention to food attributes, and consumer preferences for fish were considered in modeling. Results showed more people preferring shrimp than actually choosing sh...

Marine biological invasions have been regarded as one of the major causes of native biodiversity loss, with shipping and aquaculture being the leading contributors for the introductions of alien species in aquatic ecosystems. In the present study, five aquatic alien species (one mollusk, three crustaceans and one fish species) were detected during dives, shore searches and from the fisheries on...

Abstract This study aims to determine the effectiveness of supplementation sodium (Na) alginate Sargassum sp. from Lampung waters enhance non-specific immune response and resistence Pacific white shrimp ( Litopenaeus vannamei ) against spot disease. used a completely randomized design with 3 treatments, namely feeding without (A) or control, dietary Na at dose 2.0 (B), 4.0 g kg −1 feed (C), eac...
