Role of Type VI Secretion System during shrimp infection of Vibrio spp.-causing acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (AHPND)

Shrimp / By

This project will investigate the potential role of Type VI Secretion System encoded by Vibrio-causing AHPND during shrimp infection. It has been shown that AHPND is caused by plasmid-encoded binary toxins V. parahaemolyticus Photorhabdus insect-related toxins (PirAVP and PirBVP). However, little is known about the pathogenicity and it remains unknown whether other virulent factors are …

Effect of biofloc technology on water quality and growth performance of Macrobrachium rosenbergii and assessment of the associated bacterial communities

Shrimp / By

Biofloc technology has become a popular technology in the farming of tilapia, Penaeus monodon, and Litopenaeus vannamei. It is an advanced technology identified for solving evolving viral problems and rising costs for energy. BFT has already been pilot tested in three farms in Luzon, two in Visayas, and two in Mindanao. Biofloc technology proved success …

Hatchery Development for four indigenous Macrobrachium freshwater prawn species in Marinduque

Shrimp / By

Among the recorded nine (9) naturally-occurring Macrobrachium species in Marinduque, there are 4 species with potentials for culture for their size, including M. australe, M. latimanus, M. lar, and M. latidactylus. These species are among the target species captured by local residents from the wild for domestic consumption and occasionally sold at the local market …

GeM-Phil: Genetic Characterization of Macrobrachium Populations in the Philippines for Broodstock Development and Seed Production

Shrimp / By

Due to various human interventions like overexploitation, environmental pollution and habitat loss, the natural population of Macrobrachium species is declining. There is also a great deal of confusion over the exact identity of both wild and hatchery-bred M. rosenbergii stocks in the Philippines. The use of mtDNA genes, microsatellite markers and EST/Next gen sequencing data …

Biofloc technology (BFT) in the nursery production of P. vannamei

Shrimp / By

To address the decrease in shrimp production and adaptation to the fast-evolving demands of the new normal due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the University of San Agustin, in partnership with the Marmi Agricultural Corporation as its industry collaborator located in Silay City, developed a biofloc technology (BFT) protocol for the tank-based nursery production of white …

Breeding Protocol for Penaeus vannamei

Shrimp / By

The success of any selective breeding program relies on the genetic diversity of the founder lines so that the selection progresses forward without the negative influence of inbreeding depression. Through this project implemented by the University of the Philippines Visayas, three families of P. vannamei (KONA, SIS & Philippine local) were obtained from different commercial …

LAMP detection kit for AHPND in shrimps

Shrimp / By

The University of Santo Tomas led by Dr. Mary Beth B. Maningas developed a JAmp-AHPND Diagnostic Kit, a loop mediated amplification-based, rapid detection platform for AHPND in shrimps. The name is shorthand for Juan Amplification and emphasizes the kit’s main features: a Philippine-made detection tool that can amplify target viral DNA using one amplification temperature …

LAMP detection kit for WSSV in shrimps

Shrimp / By

Shrimp aquaculture is considered globally as an economically important industry, providing a major source of livelihood especially in countries with large coastal areas such as the Philippines. However, a bacterial disease such as White Spot Syndrome Virus (WSSV), contributes to the decline in shrimp production. Thus, early monitoring strategies for diseases is an integral part …
