Goals The aim of this course is to make an awareness on penaeid shrimp diseases in culture conditions. Why is shrimp important for aquaculture? Which factors cause diseases in shrimps? How do we determine if the shrimps are in a pathological condition? Information will be provided for healthy shrimp farming.
Course Content In this course, functional (external and internal) anatomy will be given mainly for the highly commercial value (marine / penaeid) shrimp (Decapoda, Malacostraca, Crustacea, Arthropoda) species. Common bacterial, viral, parasitic, fungal diseases specific to shrimp that occur in natural environment and in cultivation conditions will be explained. In addition, other diseases causing commercial loss in shrimp farming (depending on nutrition, environmental and other factors) will also be presented. Identification and control methods for shrimp diseases will be given and discussed.
Learning Outcomes 1) Why shrimps are important for human? Infection agents of shrimps. Identification methods.
2) Idenfication of common shirimp diseases.
3) Health menagements of broodstocs for sustainable productuction.
