Strategies
- Disease in shrimps are generally considered can not be treated, so when there is an outbreak in the pond farmers can do nothing except commence harvest.
- When the attacked pond are aged below 60 days, the farmers are suffering from losses because the undersized shrimp can not be sold with regular prices.
- The only thing shrimp farmers can do to prevent losses is by maintaining the water quality to avert disease.
- By controlling main indicators such as pH or DO, microbial equilibirum can be indirectly maintained and pathogen concentrations can be suppressed.
