Shrimp are actively “grazing” on the substrate present in the pond bottom
and water column. Therefore, they highly expose to exchanges of
microflora between the environment and the digestive system. This
increases the risk for the proliferation of an unfavorable gut microflora or
frequent destabilization of the microflora, which can affect the optimal
functioning of the digestive system.
Furthermore, the digestive system of shrimp is the main entry port for
protozoan, bacterial and viral infections, which remain a major risk for the
profitability of shrimp production. Presently these are the most important
Gut track diseases in shrimps:

such as the AHPND, other types of vibriosis, and parasitemia with the
microsporidian Enterocytozoon hepatopenaei.
The impact of white fecal matter has been found in L. vannamei &
P.monodon culture shrimps and there is no possible association with
Loose shell syndrome. The severity of the problem due to occurrence of
white fecal matter has been observed to be a serious problem during the
culture shrimps. Interestingly, the problem has been observed with the L.
vannamei ponds having high count of blue green algae.

or could also be found on feeding trays .The midgut junction and midgut
are distended and filled with white to yellow-golden contents .When the
contents of the gut or fecal strings are examined , they consisted of
masses of vermiform bodies the superficially resembled gregarines .
The presence of more the number of gregarines are higher the chances of
lesions and infections in cultured shrimp. The number of gregarines grows
in number and get the nourishment from the host leaving lesion for the
infections to set in. The gregarines also interfere in assimilation of
nutrients by the villi and resulting in the poor growth of cultured shrimps.

The White gut and White fecal matter are the two different problems in
shrimp culture ponds that can possibly lead to Loose shell syndrome. In
general, the White gut is caused by the necrosis of epithelial mucosa and
resembles the haemocytic enteritis.And usually, the White fecal matter is
caused because of the damage to the hepatopancreas and sloughing of
hepatocytes.The sloughed cells are released in to the gut and the gut
looks white in colour. In general, the fecal matter contains undigested
feed particles but in case of white fecal matter it is from the dead
hepatocytes.

Gross signs of the disease are similar to the WGD. It is likely that the
involvement of the Gram-positive cocci, Lactococcus garvieae in WMD
could possibly have been a secondary infection. The disease progressively
destroyed the abdominal muscular organization of the prawns especially
the striated muscles finally leading to mortality.
The occurrence of five types of diseases: tail necrosis, shell disease, red
disease, loose shell syndrome (LSS) and white gut disease (WGD) is by
Vibrio spp. in shrimpfrom culture ponds
Among these, LSS, WGD, and red disease caused mass mortalities in
shrimp culture ponds. Six species of Vibrio—V. harveyi, V.
parahaemolyticus, V. alginolyticus, V. anguillarum, V. vulnificus and V.
splendidus—are associated with the diseased shrimp. Mortalities due to
vibriosis occur when shrimps are stressed by factors such as: poor water
quality, crowding, high water temperature, low DO and low water
exchange.
The white gut disease (WGD) observed in shrimp farms and Vibriosis is
one of the major disease problems agent in aquaculture. Vibriosis is a
bacterial disease responsible for mortality of cultured shrimp worldwide.
Vibriosis is caused by gram-negative bacteria in the family Vibrionaceae.
Outbreaks may occur when environmental factors trigger the rapid
multiplication of bacteria already tolerated at low levels within shrimp
blood or by bacterial penetration of host barriers. The exoskeleton

The occurrence of five types of diseases: tail necrosis, shell disease, red
disease, loose shell syndrome (LSS) and white gut disease (WGD) is by
Vibrio spp. in shrimps. Among these, LSS, WGD, and red disease caused
mass mortalities in shrimp culture ponds. The diseased shrimp showed
symptoms of stunted growth and opaque white gut visible through the
transparent cuticle as a white streak. The shrimp consumed feed in large
quantities and released fecal matter in the form of a white fluid material.
Mortality rate in affected ponds leads in high.

Bacterial and other diseases can be treated and hold under control with
application of various chemicals and other biological products.
The Best Management Practice (BMP), quarantine system and good feed
management practice are to be followed entire culture period to
overcome the disease problems in shrimp culture.
