Abstract
Early Mortality Syndrome (EMS) as new Emerging Threat in Shrimp Industry
Highlights
The annual world aquatic animal production has been on growth during last recent decade
The total aquatic animal production on 2010 was about 148 million Metric tons that 128 million tons of them had been directly consume by man and their remains used for fish meal and other purposes (FAO, 2013)
About 7% of total shrimp production lost in Thailand especially in coastal area during 2012 (Lightner et al, 2013). This disease had been reported from Western Hemisphere and Mexico during 2013 and made about 118 million USD economic lost in a part of this country (Schryver et al, 2014)
Summary
Abstract | Early Mortality Syndrome (EMS) named Acute Hepatopancreatic Necrosis Disease or AHPND should be considered as a new emerging shrimp disease that has been attacked to shrimp farms in Southeast Asia. It was detected in shrimp farms in southern China as first record in 2009 and in Hainan Island in 2010 and afterward in Viet Nam and Malaysia in 2011 and in the eastern part of Thailand since 2012 and widely spread to other culture areas of Thailand. It is unlikely that the specific strain of V. parahaemolyticus will pose any risk when consumed by human beings It causes some clinical signs which include pale discoloration and atrophy (size reduction) of hepatopancreas, which appears granular when pressed between the fingers, with occasional black streaks.
