Abstract
Good broodstock health is necessary for successful reproduction of captive penaeid shrimp. Diseases caused by opportunistic, gram‐negative bacterial pathogens (especially species of Vibrio) are a common problem in broodstock maturation systems worldwide. A variety of management practices, including frequent disinfection of the maturation system and use of antibiotics in water or feeds, have been used to reduce losses associated with vibriosis (Brock and LeaMaster 1992). Nevertheless, effective control of vibriosis remains an elusive goal. Failure of most management practices to control losses and controversy over the widespread use of antibiotics has stimulated interest in vaccination as a prophylactic measure to manage vibriosis in penaeid broodstock.
