Microbial Flora of Pond-Reared Brown Shrimp (Penaeus aztecus) 1

Abstract: Agar plate counts and microbial types are reported for brown shrimp reared in 2-acre natural marshland and in 0.5-acre artificial ponds during June to October 1970. Bacterial counts of pond-reared shrimp ranged from 5 X 104 to 5.5 X 106 per g. At final harvest in October, bacterial counts ranged from 2 x 105 to 5.5 x 108 per g. In marsh ponds, bacterial counts of shrimp and pond water were lowest in August when both water temperature and salinity were high. Coryneform bacteria and to a lesser extent Vibrio wer… Show more

“…For instance, the family Bacillaceae and order Bacillales (unclassified family) of the phylum Firmicutes were dominant among all layers of cores N5 and S4 (Figures 2A,C ). The reason for the high abundance of Bacillaceae and Moraxellaceae in N5 could be due to a shrimp farm nearby, since these forms commonly dominate shrimp pond water (Vanderzant et al, 1971 ). The family Bacillaceae is widely distributed in soil, marine sediments, air, food, and other environments (Mandic-Mulec et al, 2015 ; Krishnamoorthy et al, 2017 ).…”
