Common-Sense Biosecurity Measures Head Off Crop Failures

摘要

Biosecurity can be defined as the operating procedures that shrimp hatchery and farm personnel use to minimize the impacts of disease on their animals. Proper biosecurity measures slow the movement of pathogens and protect unaffected areas. To be surepathogens are not present in broodstock, use specific-pathogen-free stock and screen animals individually. Since many pathogens are found on shrimp eggs, disinfect before and after the eggs hatch. Hatcheries should utilize filtration and other treatment to ensure water is free of most bacteria.
