Since 1993, sudden and massive death has occurred among penaeid shrimp, Penaeus orientalis cultured in Korea. We investigated the pathological characterizations on the spontaneously and experimentally infected penaeid shrimp. The major gross findings of the spontaneous cases were 2-6mm sized-white spots on the inside of the carapace and reddish discolorization. Histopathologically, massive necrosis of lymphoid organ, degeneration and necrosis of epithelia of epidermis and foregut were observed in both spontaneous and experimental cases. Amphophilic to basophilic intranuclear inclusion bodies were readly observed epithelia of epidermis, foregut and gills. Electron microscopy revealed enveloped, non-occuluded ellipsoid to rod shaped virus particles, within the nucleus, in the lymphoid organs and interstitial cells of hepatopancreas of both spontaneously and experimentally infected shrimps. The size of the virion was $375{\times}167nm$, and the nucleocapsid was $290{\times}75nm$. The causative agent causing massive death in penaeid shrimps in Korea resembles baculovirus associated with white spot syndrome (WSBV) occurred in Taiwan in virus morphology and gross and histological changes of the shrimps.

Vibrio parahaemolyticus associated with acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (Vp_AHPND) and Enterocytozoon hepatopenaei (EHP) are the two most important pathogens in shrimp aquaculture and they have caused enormous losses to the shrimp industry worldwide. In ponds, the major target organ for the two pathogens is the hepatopancreas, and infection with EHP is a known potential risk factor for Vp_AHPND infection. This study aimed to develop a PCR (polymerase chain reaction)-based diagnostic method for simultaneously detecting Vp_AHPND and EHP. The newly developed PCR diagnostic method could be used to test various samples, such as seawater, shrimp, and feces. The diagnostic method exhibited high sensitivity and specificity for both pathogens. This will help reduce the potential economic losses that may have been caused by the two major shrimp pathogens, Vp_AHPND and EHP, and will allow for the efforts and time spent combatting them to be dedicated elsewhere.

A study was conducted to evaluate dietary valine (Val) requirement for Pacific white shrimp (Penaeus vannamei). Five isonitrogenous (353 g/kg) and isocaloric (4.08 kcal/g) semi-purified diets containing graded levels of Val (2.7, 5.1, 8.7, 12.1 or 16.0 g/kg) were formulated. Quadruplicate groups of 12 shrimp (average body weight: 0.46 ± 0.00 g) were fed one of the experimental diets (2%-5% of total body weight) for 8 weeks. Maximum weight gain was observed in 8.7 g/kg Val group. However, the growth performance was reduced when Val concentration in diets were higher than 12.1 g/kg. Feed conversion ratio was significantly increased with 2.7 and 16.0 g/kg Val inclusion. Shrimp fed the diets containing 2.7 g/kg Val showed significantly lower protein efficiency ratio, whole-body crude protein and Val concentrations. Dietary inclusion of Val significantly improved the relative expression of insulin-like growth factor binding protein and immune-related genes (prophenoloxidase, lysozyme and crustin) in the hepatopancreas and 8.7 g/kg Val group showed highest expression among all the groups. The dietary requirement of Val for maximum growth of juvenile P. vannamei, estimated using polynomial regression analysis on growth, was 9.54 g/kg of Val (27.2 g/kg based on protein level) and maximum growth occurred at 9.27 g/kg of Val (26.2 g/kg based on protein level) based on broken-line regression analysis.

The focus of this study was to investigate the suitable analytical methods for measurement of sulfamerazine and its metabolite in shrimp hepatopancreas and tail tissue, in addition to the methods for the optimization of solid-phase extraction cartridge conditions and the elucidation of sulfamerazine concentrations in aqueous buffer using HPLC with UV and EC detectors. Compared with UV detector the EC detector appears to be 10 times more sensitive than that of the UV detector. After the shrimp was exposed to 10 ppm sulfamerazine, the accumulation levels of sulfamerazine and its metabolite in tail tissue, which is edible portion, were considerably lower than 0.1 ppm. The data indicate that sulfamerazine continues to be a candidate for use at levels of sulfamerazine concentration used in aquaculture of shrimp.

본 연구에서는 호염성 세균 Bacillus sp. Mk22를 사료에 섞어 투여함으로써 Penaeus monodon 새우의 성장증진과 Vibrio parahaemolyticus 와 흰반점바이러스(WSSV)의 감염 감소에 대한 영향을 조사하였다. 새우는 45일 동안 3가지 먹이를 공급하였 는데, 무첨가(대조구), 시판 프로바이오틱, 그리고 Bacillus sp. Mk22이었다. 호염성세균 Mk22를 투여한 새우들은 다른 그룹들의 새우들보다 성장(7.1 ± 0.21 g), 생존율(94.3 ± 0.58%), 체중증가(178 ± 4.93 g), 그리고 감소된 사료전환효율(0.8 ± 0.03 g)을 보였다. Bacillus sp. Mk22를 투여한 새우들은 다른 그룹의 새우들보다 새우배양 수조안에서 낮은 비브리오 수자(0.02 ± 0.01 × 10² CFU/ml)를 보였다. 이 세 그룹의 새우들을 비브리오나 WSSV로 공격감염을 하였다. 비브리오 감영에서는, 시판 프로바이오틱그룹과 Mk22 그룹에서 배양수조의 물 감염과 경구투여감염에서 치사 새우가 없었다. WSSV 감염에 대해서는, Mk22 그룹의 경우 새우배양 수조 감염에서는 68%의 생존율과 경구투여 감염에서는 20% 생존율이 45일째에 관찰되었고, 대조구와 시판 프로바이오틱 그룹에서는 모두 훨씬 빠른 시간 내에 100% 사망률을 보였다. 산화적 스트레스의 표지인, catalase와 superoxide dismutase와 같은 항산화 효소 활성은 비브리오와 WSSV 감염된 Mk22 그룹 모두에서 다른 그룹들에 비해 유의적으로 감소하였다. 이 사실은 Bacillus sp. Mk22는 산화적 스트레스 감소하는데 효과적이었고, 이는 감소된 감염효과로 인한 것으로 추정된다.

Three panel trammel nets were made illegal for the brown shrimp (Penaeus japonicus) or fishes by Korean fisheries law while trammel nets for fleshy prawn in the West sea remained legal. In this study a single panel tangle net with vertical loop lines rigged between the float line and sinker line was specially designed to catch brown shrimp. This net was developed for the first time after observation of the brown shrimp behaviour when reacting to a net in an observation tank. In field experiments these single tangle nets were compared with the traditional trammel nets in the coastal waters of the Keoje area. The mean number of the brown shrimp for 53 fishing operations was 1.13 per unit panel of the single tangle nets when fitted with the vertical loop lines. This was $84\%$ of the mean catch of 1.36 achieved with the trammel nets. These results of fishing experiments using single tangle nets in the field revealed a high fishing efficiency for the brown shrimp and showed little difference from trammel nets. The size of the brown shrimp or number of by-catch was not different between single tangle nets and trammel nets.

The study carried out a 15-day feeding trial of the fleshy shrimp broodstock that have just finished their first spawn using five different maturation feed types (three types of manufactured feed, fresh feed, and commercial feed) to induce multiple spawning in the shrimp and then analyzed and compared hemolymph levels of total protein, total lipid, hemocyanin, glucose, and cholesterol as well as ovary histology between the treatments to identify the potential of the experimental diets to be utilized as maturation feed. The study found that the manufactured diets of polychaetes + clam and polychaetes + clam + squid resulted in significantly higher levels of lipid and protein in shrimp hemolymph suggesting an indicator of multiple spawning in the fleshy shrimp. The other manufactured diet of polychaets + squid led to the highest 2nd spawning with significantly lower levels of lipid, protein, and cholesterol in shrimp hemolymph. The fresh feed treatment showed similar hematological as well as histological responses to the manufactured diet of polychaetes + squid, but with a significantly lower spawning volume compared to the other treatments. The study demonstrated that the manufactured diets could replace fresh feed as maturation feed and attain a higher shrimp maturation than the commercial feed.

This study involves a blending of intensive and extensive shrimp culture techniques for a hypothetical shrimp farm which uses a combination of heated raceway nurseries and extensive grow-out ponds per year. The present value method of economic analysis is used to determine economic feasibility. The biological data in this reports were obtained from published or personal communications from leaders in the field of shrimp aquaculture. The proposed system showed economic feasibility using the present value method with discount rates of 10% and 12%. The most profitable scenario, the culture of three crops of Penaeus vannamei showed a 1.26 year payback period and 120% annual average rate of return. The breakeven price was ＄1.25/1b., which is ＄1.52 less than the market price of ＄2.77. Breakeven production was 724 1bs/acre, which is 8761bs. less than the assumed 1,600 1bs/acre. All other scenarios 1.2 and 3 crops for P. stylirostris and P. setiferus showed economic feasibility also.

Algal overgrowth in shrimp culture ponds can affect the quality of the aquatic environment, thereby adversely affecting the shrimp and causing economic losses. The objective of this study was to evaluate the variation in phytoplankton composition in intensive shrimp ponds in Bac Lieu province, Vietnam. Phytoplankton samples were collected in three black tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon) ponds and three whiteleg shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) ponds. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS and canonical correlation analysis softwares. In total, 75 species of phytoplankton were recorded in black tiger shrimp ponds and 64 species in whiteleg shrimp ponds. Diatoms had the highest species diversity with 29-30 species (39%-47%), followed by green algae with 9-19 species (14%-25%); species numbers of other phyla varied from 5-12 (8%-16%). The total number of phytoplankton species throughout the study varied from 34-50 species. Algal density was relatively high and ranged from 497,091-2,229,500 ind./L and 1,301,134-2,237,758 ind./L in black tiger shrimp and whiteleg shrimp ponds, respectively. The diatom density tended to increase during the final stage of the production cycle in black tiger shrimp ponds. Blue-green algae and dinoflagellates also increased in abundance at the end of the cycle, which can affect shrimp growth. Diatoms were significantly positively correlated with pH, salinity, total ammonia nitrogen, and nitrate (NO₃^-) concentrations (p < 0.05). Blue-green algae and dinoflagellates were positively correlated with salinity, phosphate (PO₄^3-), and NO₃^-. Algal species diversity was lower in the whiteleg shrimp ponds than in the black tiger shrimp ponds. Several dominant algal genera were recorded in the shrimp ponds, including Nannochloropsis, Gyrosigma, Chaetoceros, Alexandrium, and Microcystis. The results of this study provide basic data for further investigations, and they contribute to the management of algae in brackish-water shrimp ponds.

본 실험은 대하의 효율적인 종묘생산을 위하여 수온과 염분에 따른 수정난의 부화율에 관한 실험으로서 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 대하수정난의 부화에 미치는 수온의 영향을 조사한 결과, $24^{\circ}C$에서 $95.5\%$의 가장 높은 부화율을 보였다. $20^{\circ}C$에서 $24^{\circ}C$까지는 수온이 올라갈수록 부화율은 높게 나타났으며, $26^{\circ}C$이상부터는 수온이 올라갈수록 부화율은 급격히 낮아져, $30^{\circ}C$에서는 전혀 부화가 되지 않았다. 염분의 영향을 조사한 결과, $31\%_{\circ}$에서 $95.5\%$의 가장 높은 부화율을 보였다. $20\%_{\circ}$, 부터 $31\%_{\circ}$까지는 염분이 상승할수록 부화율은 증가하였고, $33\%_{\circ}$, 부터는 염분이 상승할수록 부화율은 낮아져 $40\%_{\circ}$, 에서는 $25.5\%$%로 급격히 감소하였다. 수온 $24^{\circ}C$에서의 부화속도는 다른 수온구에서보다 가장 빨랐고 특히 염분 $31\%_{\circ}$의 실험구에서는 18시간 만에 $30.5\%$, 48시간만에 $95.5\%$가 부화되어 가장 빠른 부화속도를 보였다. 대하수정난의 부화를 위한 최적 수온은 비교적 협온성이라고 할수있다. 또 최적수온인 $24^{\circ}C$에서도 자연해수의 염분구 $(33\~35\%_{\circ})$보다 다소 낮은 $30\~31\%_{\circ}$,에서는 약 $20\%$정도 더 높은 부화율이 유도되었다. 이러한 결과를 볼 때 대하수정난 부화를 위한 최적염분 역시 협염성이며 특히 수온이 높을 때 염분이 부화율에 미치는 영향은 매우 민감하였다.
