MANAGING AND CONTROLLING COIN SPOT DISEASE IN PONDS IS ONE OF THE KEY STRATEGIES FOR MANAGING GUT DISEASES IN SHRIMP

Fungal cell control has been experimentally tested and evaluated by Than Vuong in many farming areas with different salinities. Both experimental and practical results were very good when combined with SoilMax.

Doing it right from the pond preparation stage, combined with an antifungal microbial strain, yielded very good results, with ponds **completely free of coin-spot algae** during the farming process.

Oomycetes-01

Oomycota

Oomycota are called coenocytic, meaning their hyphae lack septa or cross-walls, except for separating them from reproductive organs (Encyclopedia of Microbiology, Third Edition, 2009).

The solution for no coin-spot algae in ponds (results may vary depending on the management process) is one of the most effective secrets for managing intestinal diseases in shrimp.
