NINH THUAN PROVINCE, VIETNAM — August 1, 2022— This article presents the results of research carried out at the ShrimpVet Hatchery in Ninh Thuan Province, Vietnam. The purpose of this trial was to assess the effectiveness of the application of a treatment protocol involving two commercial probiotics (BiOWiSH® AquaFarm and BiOWiSH® MultiBio 3PS) in the hatchery production of Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) postlarvae (PL), compared to a PL production protocol that relies on water exchange only to control inorganic nitrogen, waste organics and pathogens.
The results indicate that the BiOWiSH® probiotics used in this trial increased shrimp hatchery production and improved the quality and disease resistance of postlarvae, much the same as has already been observed in shrimp and fish nursery and grow-out systems.
