Understanding cultured shrimp stressed
Stress is the state of fatigue tense when someone is facing with abnormally living conditions like fluctuated temperatures, lower oxygen, toxic gases raised and abrupt changes in salinity.


+ Increased water temperature by unusual sun heat prolonged during a day results in food passes through intestine quickly so there is not completely digested, the bacteria thrive, profit susceptible shrimp. Winter or rainy season, shrimp reduced or stopped eating, leftover food contaminants, viruses thrive, and shrimp is susceptible with white spot.

+ Low dissolved oxygen and environment’s pollution is affected by contamination of dead algae, excess food causes decreased oxygen in the water and high levels of toxic gases, high density , lack of oxygen causes the algae too dark at night and at dawn , using oxygen -consuming chemical as well. .
+ Salinity changes dramatically when moving from hatchery to pond, heavy rains, water changes, and sun heat prolonged.
When shrimp stressed , metabolic disorders lead to mineral loss , decreased nutrient absorption , poor swimmers , fell prey , grow slowly , reducing resistance, disease susceptibility .
How to detect shrimp being stressed: Seeing reduce food, unusual colors such as pink , purple or darker , easily curved body , dense flashed mechanical lift when it is sunny.
How to help overcome the stage of stress in shrimp: reduction initiative of the causes of stress and feeding an effective manner; shrimp pond is to pick disinfectant is highly secure; prolonging hot weather to curb distribution of food to avoid polluting the water and live shrimp susceptible to white feces; fans provide sufficient oxygen in the water to ensure minimum waste 3ppm edge.
Regular use of Vitamin C in the cold season and especially hot shrimp will help boost the immune system. Periodic use of probiotics in the treatment of water and mixed in the food of shrimp.
