The objective of our study was to explain the histopathological changes of monodon baculovirus (MBV) in hepatopancreas and midgut tissues of the cultured Penaeus vannamei. Five-hundred and forty juvenile of P. vannamei with average size of 7.99±0.54 g and 3600 post larvae 10-15 were distributed to 18 glass aquariums (50×50×60cm) with 100L well aerated water per each aquarium as water borne MBV ...

Farmers of Bangladesh like to stock wild post-larvae (PL) Black tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon). However, PL collection is detrimental aquatic biodiversity, and the supply hatchery sufficient. The study was conducted in Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh, compare quality aspects terms size variation, survival, tolerance, morphology.

Slow growth caused by viral diseases has become a major constraint in shrimp aquaculture. Laem-Singh virus (LSNV), a positive-sense single-stranded RNA (ssRNA) virus, has been identified in Penaeus monodon showing slow growth syndrome. To examine the host-range and transmission modes of the virus, 6 species of penaeid shrimp of varying life stages, sourced from the wild and from farms, as well ...

An in vitro study of the attachment of Vibrio pathogens to tissues of the giant tiger prawn Penaeus monodon (Fabricius, 1798) was carried out using species-specific and genus-specific monoclonal antibodies with indirect FITCimmunofluorescence microscopy. The attachment of V. alginolyticus and V. parahaemolyticus to different tissues was always stronger than the attachment of V. anguillarum, and...

The hemocyanin of the tiger shrimp, Penaeus monodon, was investigated with respect to stability and oxygen binding. While hexamers occur as a major component, dodecamers and traces of higher aggregates are also found. Both the hexamers and dodecamers were found to be extremely stable against dissociation at high pH, independently of the presence of calcium ions, in contrast to the known crustac...

Laem-Singh virus (LSNV) is a positive-sense single-stranded RNA (ssRNA) virus that was recently identified in Penaeus monodon shrimp in Thailand displaying signs of slow growth syndrome. A total of 326 shrimp collected between 1998 and 2007 from countries in the Indo-Pacific region were tested by RT-PCR for evidence of LSNV infection. The samples comprised batches of whole postlarvae, and lymph...

The application of effective probiotics in shrimp aquaculture is an excellent alternative for chemicals and antibiotics to prevent disease control. This study was carried out to evaluate the probiotic potential of Lactobacillus acidophilus 04 (home made curd isolate) on pathogenic Vibrio in shrimp Penaeus monodon juveniles. L. acidophilus showed antibacterial activity against Vibrio parahaemoly...
