Introduction Shrimp farming is one of the most important aquaculture practices worldwide. In shrimp-farming operations, one of the primary wastes of concern is nitrogen. The built-up of nitrogenous waste in the form of ammonia, nitrite and nitrate from the shrimp continuously degrade the culture environment. Ammonia is excreted by animals and also arises from decomposing organic solids such as uneaten feed. The excess feed and fecal matter deposited in the bottom of the pond...

Aquaculture plays a major role in augmenting food production, livelihood and thereby the economy of a country. Diseases are the outcome of imbalance between environment, host and pathogen. During the past three decades, viral and bacterial diseases have emerged as serious impediments to shrimp farming.  Concomitant with the expansion and Intensification of shrimp aquaculture, large number of diseases, especially those caused by viral infection, have been recorded in farmed shrimp. The...

The efficacy of a single cell protein (SCP) methanotroph (Methylococcus capsulatus, Bath) bacteria meal (FeedKind®, Calysta, Menlo Park, CA, United States), in Pacific white shrimp (Penaeus vannamei) diets was studied to determine growth performance, survival rate and disease resistance against Vibrio parahaemolyticus causing Acute Hepatopancreatic Necrosis Disease (AHPND). The growth trial was assigned in a completely randomized design (CRD) with four treatments and 5 replicates of...

I. INTRODUCTION Vibrios have emerged as a major problem affecting shrimp culture across the world. The Outbreaks and mass mortalities of vibrios in hatcheries and grow out ponds of shrimp have been reported across many regions (Couch 1978; Overstreet 1978; Lightner 1983, 1985, 1988, 1996; Sindermann 1990; Ruangpan and Kitao 1991, 1992; Chen et al. 1992; Yang et al. 1992; de la Pena et al. 1993; Jiravanichpaisal et al. 1994;...

This study aimed to investigate the prevalence, antibiogram of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa), and the distribution of virulence genes (oprL, exoS, phzM, and toxA) and the antibiotic-resistance genes (blaTEM, tetA, and blaCTX-M). A total of 285 fish (165 Oreochromis niloticus and 120 Clarias gariepinus) were collected randomly from private fish farms in Ismailia Governorate, Egypt. The collected specimens were examined bacteriologically. P. aeruginosa was isolated from 90 examined...

Introduction Because of the very high expensive costs of the local red (from farm animals, as buffaloes, beef, sheep, goats, and camels) and white meats (from poultry, as broilers, ducks, geese, and pigeons), the Egyptian tended to consume (1.8 million ton yearly) more fish than they produce [1.4 million ton, from which 70 % (705 thousand ton from aquaculture, i.e. farming)]. Therefore, Egypt import fish to overcome the increasingly human demand of the nutritional valuable fish...

Water is an important resource for life support and undeniably, there is hardly any human activity without the use of water. The earth is occupied by water, of which 97% are saline in the oceans, while 3% is freshwater contained in the poles (i.e. in the form of ice), rivers, lakes, streams and groundwater which supply most of human and animal needs (Al-Ghamdi et al., 2014). Water can be sourced principally from surface waters which include streams, rivers, lakes and lagoons (Okey-Wokeh et...

INTRODUCTION Among the essential amino acids (AA), L-arginine (ARG) is one of the functional amino acids in animals. ARG is a nutritionally very important and essential AA for fish, and is considered the fourth limiting AA in aquafeed. Most of fish species excretes ammonia predominantly through the gills, diffusing NH 3 or NH 4 (ammoniotelic animals). Therefore, unlike mammals, fish have a low hepatic activity of carbamoyl phosphate synthase III or ornithine carbamoyl...
