Get to Know Vibrio Bacteria in Vaname Shrimp As the Cause of Various Diseases

The attack of vibrio bacteria in vannamei shrimp is one of the obstacles that you might face when carrying out vannamei shrimp farming activities. Vibriosis is a disease caused by the bacterium Vibrio sp. and can cause death up to 100% in the larval or juvenile stages.

Several types of vibrio bacteria often found in shrimp ponds include Vibrio harveyi, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Vibrio alginoslyticus, Vibrio anguillarum, Vibrio vulnificus, and Vibrio splendidus.

Therefore farmers need to detect the presence of this bacteria as early as possible. This is done to minimize the risks that the farmers may face.

What is Vibrio in Vannamei Shrimp?

Vibriosis is a disease caused by an attack of vibrio bacteria in vannamei shrimp. In addition to vibriosis, the bacterium Vibrio sp. can also cause Acute Hepatopancreatic Necrosis Disease (AHPND) and White Feces Disease (WFD).

Several types of vibrio bacteria often found in shrimp ponds include Vibrio harveyi, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Vibrio alginoslyticus, Vibrio anguillarum, Vibrio vulnificus, and Vibrio splendidus.

Contamination and Spread of Vibrio Bacteria in Vannamei Shrimp Ponds

As one of the fisheries commodities whose production continues to increase yearly, vannamei shrimp are economically able to contribute up to 33.1% in export value.

What’s more, with an intensive cultivation system, the productivity of shrimp ponds can experience a significant increase. But on the other hand, intensive cultivation systems can cause a decrease in water quality which can cause disease attacks, one of which is vibriosis.

The presence of Vibrio sp bacteria in waters is usually affected by poor physical and chemical parameters. Starting from the high pond water temperature, there is too much organic waste sediment deposition to the water salinity that is too high.

However, the contamination and development of vibrio bacteria in vannamei shrimp can be reduced in several ways, such as by using chemicals according to standards to kill bacteria.

What is Aquaculture and Why is It Important?

What is aquaculture? Aquaculture is an action to breed, raise, and harvest aquatic organisms such as fish, shellfish, and crustaceans in a controlled environment, including ponds and tanks, by humans.

With increasing population, economic prosperity, and urbanization globally, the need for food is also growing. Meanwhile, we must rely on something other than capture fisheries that depend on nature. Therefore, aquaculture plays an essential role in meeting the demand for food.

Aquaculture has provided more than half of all fishery products we eat every day. In a way, aquaculture is the fastest-growing food-producing sector in the world and is playing an essential role in helping to meet food needs as the human population continues to grow.

What is Aquaculture?

What is aquaculture? Aquaculture is the production of aquatic organisms under controlled conditions throughout part or all of their lifecycle, with the majority being seafood such as fish, crustaceans, and shellfish. This activity is similar to agriculture, but the difference is what is bred in marine organisms.

To date, aquaculture is the fastest-growing food sector in the world. Moreover, with aquaculture, more sustainable seafood production activities can be carried out without damaging the environment.

Various types of aquaculture have been carried out until now. Cultivation purposes, operational techniques, and hydro-biological features distinguish these species. Meanwhile, shrimp and fish farming is arguably the most widely practised type of aquaculture worldwide.

Cultivating shrimp, fish, and other marine organisms is almost the same, starting with preparing ponds, seed selection, feeding and care, water quality management, and harvesting.

Why is Aquaculture Important?

Overfishing in the ocean continues to increase from year to year. This is because the increase in the human population makes the need for food also increase. Therefore, we need other alternatives to meet the needs of this seafood.

So, where lies the role of aquaculture? That being said, aquaculture is the right way to meet this seafood supply need. By cultivating aquatic commodities responsibly and sustainably, we can meet the needs of healthy protein for future generations while still being environmentally friendly.

DELOS Maritime Institute Collaborates with Undip, UGM, UPS Tegal, and Politeknik KP Pangandaran in Order to do Tridharma of Higher Education

As an education and training program in the field of aquaculture initiated by DELOS, DELOS Maritime Institute continues to collaborate with various universities in Indonesia within the framework of tridharma of higher education, which includes education, research, and community service intending to optimize human resources in the aquaculture sector.

Aquaculture is a fast-growing industry that plays an essential role in food security and economic development. However, this industry faces several challenges, such as disease outbreaks, environmental degradation, and a need for more skilled human resources.

For this reason, to overcome these challenges, DELOS Maritime Institute is working with four institutions, namely Universitas Diponegoro (Undip), Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM), Universitas Pancasakti (UPS Tegal), and Politeknik Kelautan dan Perikanan Pangandaran through the signing of the MoU (Memorandum of Understanding).

This collaboration aims to optimize the potential of human resources and increase competence in the field of Science and Technology (IPTEK) in Fisheries and Maritime Affairs.

The main scope of this collaboration is DELOS Maritime Institute as a human resource training and development program facilitating participants to receive education and direct training in the field related to vannamei shrimp farming.

This DMI program will equip participants with the knowledge and skills needed to enter the aquaculture industry. This includes pond preparation management, vannamei shrimp farming technology, shrimp health management, feed management, and shrimp business management.

In the learning process, DELOS Maritime Institute consists of two stages: theoretical class and field practice class. The theory class lasts 6 days as a provision for the participants before going into the field and facing direct cases in vannamei shrimp farming for one cycle or around 3 months.

The existence of DELOS Maritime Institute is an excellent opportunity for young people who want to get involved in the aquaculture industry. Through this program, participants can gain valuable knowledge and experience that may not be obtained from lecture materials. Not only that, but DELOS Maritime Institute participants also have the potential to be recruited as employees of PT Delos Teknologi Maritime Jaya.

Currently, DELOS Maritime Institute Batch 2 is almost complete. It is planned that the participants will carry out a presentation exam of the training results for approximately 4 months in the ponds on January 26-27 2023. Meanwhile, DELOS Maritime Institute Batch 2 graduation will be held at night, namely on 27 January 2023
