Prevalent Bacterial Diseases in Shrimps and Their Treatment

<p><span>Shrimp aquaculture plays a significant role in India’s coastal economy, particularly in Andhra Pradesh. However, bacterial diseases remain a major constraint, causing reduced growth, deformities, and crop losses. This study investigated prevalent bacterial diseases affecting shrimp culture ponds in the coastal regions of Andhra Pradesh, based on interactions with farmers and aqua technicians. The following bacterial diseases were identified: vibriosis, bacterial shell disease, black splint disease, and non-viral white spot disease. Their symptoms, treatments, and preventive measures are outlined to aid shrimp farmers in adopting better health management practices.</span></p>
