Shrimp aquaculture is facing a serious disease, acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (AHPND), caused by (Vp). For sustainable shrimp aquaculture, massive losses of shrimp infected with Vp must be prevented. Research and selection of shrimp tolerant to Vp infection is a sustainable approach to reducing the risk of AHPND. This study focused on the identification and development of potential DNA markers associated with AHPND using DArT sequencing (DArTSeq) and a genome-wide association study. Three populations of post-larval were immersed in Vp to collect susceptible (D) and tolerant (S) samples. The 45 D and 48 S shrimp had their genotypes analyzed using DArTSeq. A total of 108,983 SNPs and 17,212 InDels were obtained from the DArTseq data, while the biallelic 516 SNPs and 2293 InDels were finally filtered with PIC < 0.1, MAF < 0.05, and a call rate ≥ 80%. The filtered variants were analyzed for their association with AHPND tolerance. Although there were no significantly associated SNPs and InDels above the Bonferroni correction threshold, candidate variants, four SNPs and 17 InDels corresponding to < 0.01, were provided for further validation of the AHPND tolerance trait. The candidate SNPs are located on an exon of the zinc finger protein 239-like gene, an intron of an uncharacterized gene, and in intergenic regions. Most of the candidate InDels are in the intergenic regions, with fewer in the intronic and exonic regions. This study provides information on SNPs and InDels for white shrimp. These markers will support the variant database of shrimp and be useful in shrimp aquaculture for breeding selection.

Environmental drivers of fish bycatch composition in small-scale shrimp trawling along the southern Brazilian coast.

Small-scale shrimp trawling is crucial for the economy and culture of coastal communities worldwide, providing several ecosystem services. However, bottom trawling is well-known for its negative impacts on habitat structure and marine communities. Bycatch, or the accidental capture of non-target species during fishing, can offer valuable insights into the composition and variation of fish assemblages.

Vibrio-induced diseases pose a significant threat to shrimp aquaculture. While the mechanisms underlying Vibrio penetration of shrimp shells and the gastrointestinal tract remain unclear, this study implicates chitinases as critical virulence factors. Despite their inability to utilize chitin or shrimp shells as sole carbon and nitrogen sources, three major shrimp pathogens-V.

Ammonia-N stress is a significant environmental factor that adversely affects the health and productivity of aquaculture species. This study investigates the effects of ammonia-N stress on the shrimp through a combination of biochemical, histological, transcriptomic, and metabolomic analyses. Shrimp were exposed to ammonia-N stress for 12 and 96 hours, and key markers of oxidative stress, nitrogen metabolism, immune response, and overall health were assessed.

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.
