Sludge formation in pond bottomIn the intensive shrimp culture ponds are heavily aerated and it is common practice to position aerators in the comers of ponds to create a circular motion of water.

Is there any possibility of frequent dinoflagellate blooms causing low survival rates and retarded growth in the shrimp ponds?. Can the toxic effect the of dinoflagellates can cause disproper functioning of hepatpancreas in shrimp juveniles or adults. Do diniflagettates have any role in the slow growth syndrome nowadays commonly seen during the culture of P. Monodon .
