In the aquaculture system, the microbial community plays a significant role in providing additional feed, enhancing nutrient utilization efficiency, reducing anoxic conditions, and minimizing environmental impacts. Several forms of Silicon (Si) are commonly presented in natural water as monosilicic acid and polysilicic acid. This research aimed to evaluate the concentrations of those acids in shrimp ponds and to determine the effect on microbial growth in both pond water and probiotic solution.
Dr Melony Sellars, CEO and managing director of Genics Pty Ltd, recently developed four new real-time PCR assays that can help detect the presence of decapod iridescent virus (DIV1) in shrimp.
