The present study was to evaluate two slaughter processing methods (ice water immersion (T-1) and individual beheaded (T-2)) on whiteleg shrimp quality farmed in freshwater culture systems using attenuated total reflection infrared (ATR-IR) technology. In addition, the corresponding physical, chemical and microbial properties of shrimp samples were also determined. No significant differences were observed in pH, total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N), thiobarbutiric acid (TBA) and K value as well as the contents of moisture, crude protein, crude fat and ash between groups of T-1 and T-2. However, significantly higher springiness and chewiness (P<0.05) were observed in T-1 as compared to those of T-2. As for the result of total viable counts (TVC), significantly lower value (P<0.05) was shown in T-1 than that of T-2, indicating that the quality and shelf life of whiteleg shrimp killed by ice water immersion could be improved and prolonged. Furthermore, all the samples were successfully divided into two categories regarding the two slaughter methods by principal component analysis (PCA) according to the infrared spectra. By analysis of the regression coefficients of PLS-DA, it can be supposed that the quality differences of whiteleg shrimp with different slaughter processing are largely caused by structural changes of their protein and fat. All together, our results indicated that the springiness and chewiness of whiteleg shrimp with different processing could be correctly distinguished using infrared spectroscopy.

Determining the optimum application dosage of probiotic in biofloc system is often challenging because the microbial community seems to exert similar effects irrespective of their dosages. It is however noted that certain dosages promote higher yield in shrimp culture more effectively. Principal component analysis was adopted to identify these optimum dosages where 1-way ANOVA could not clearly identify due to the effects of microbial community.

The lack of a classical adaptive immunity renders the development of disease control and prevention measures in shrimp challenging. In this study, the concept of trained immunity was exploited in the development of a feed supplement. Penaeus vannamei shrimp was fed with feed supplemented with freeze-dried whole culture of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum (FD-LAB) for 15 days.

Background: Shrimp gill health is an indicator of their overall health and environmental stress, as gills are in direct contact with the external environment. Organic selenium (OS), known for its high bioavailability and antioxidant properties, potentially enhances shrimp growth, survival, and immune responses. This study investigated the physiological features through comprehensive gill gene expression profiling and growth parameters by incorporating OS into Penaeus vannamei diets.

A six-week feeding trial was conducted to assess the safety of single-domain antibodies (sdAbs) derived from camelids against the white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) (WSSVvp28 was used as the antigen), focusing on the whole-organism responses and molecular-level changes in juvenile whiteleg shrimp (). Five experimental diets with varying levels of sdAbs were formulated: CON (no sdAb supplementation); SDA (8.20% of sdAbs); SDA (16.
