Abstract
Pontang District located in Banten Bay has the potential for the development of shrimp farming. One of the challenges of shrimp farming is a disease caused by Vibrio bacterial. One way to control disease is to apply the principle of biosecurity to support sustainable aquaculture. In some cases, the Vibrio bacterial group is known to have caused serious illness in shrimp ponds. This paper reviews some of the literature on the concept of biosecurity in controlling disease for sustainable aquaculture that might be implemented in Pontang District. The role of local authorities is very important in the implementation of biosecurity. Disease control by farmers can be done by doing water management, good production processes and routine health monitoring.
Highlights
Pontang district is located on the Banten bay which has great fishery potential and is very suitable as a center for brackish aquaculture
The challenge in shrimp culture is the presence of diseases and one of them is caused by bacteria, especially Vibrio which causes Vibriosis disease [3]
Vibrio is a bacterium that is commonly found in estuarine waters and is an opportunistic bacterium which will be pathogenic if conditions are out of balance
Summary
Pontang district is located on the Banten bay which has great fishery potential and is very suitable as a center for brackish aquaculture. The need for strategies to minimize disease attacks, so that negative impacts can be avoided. Biosecurity is a concept that has long been introduced and is widely used in the field of human health and terrestrial animals. This concept began to be used in aquatic animals as a tool to control disease [6, 7, 8, 9]. This biosecurity concept can be adopted in ponds in Pontang District, Serang Regency for sustainable aquaculture. The purpose of this paper is to offer this concept by reviewing the existing literature
