Striped catfish from nursery to grow-out: probiotics, digestive enzymes and feed protein and fat in new research

A trial published on 30 October 2026: adding 2 g/kg probiotic to feed containing a digestive enzyme cut FCR in 10 g catfish fingerlings from 1.60 to 1.33 over 90 days; higher doses did no better. In grow-out, 28% protein feed beat 32% on FCR, while 8% fat built up belly fat. Plus two trials on survival.

£2.4 million project seeks solutions to antimicrobial resistance in Vietnam's pangasius farming

Three new studies: healthy seed from the hatchery, the right yeast, and preventing tilapia disease

A summary of three 2026 scientific reviews: shrimp larvae need stage-specific nutrition, yeast must be the right form at the right dose, and tilapia disease prevention starts with daily management.

Immune Support for Fish: Why a Higher Dose Isn't Always Better?

Supporting fish immunity requires the right active ingredient, the right dose, and the right timing for each growth stage. When choosing a supplementation program, farmers should weigh technical evidence, pond conditions, and economic return together.

Changes in gut microbiota due to global warming. Regulating host health and disease status in poikilothermic animals

Global warming alters the gut microbiota of Pacific whiteleg shrimp by restructuring enterotypes, increasing the risk of diseases such as White Feces Syndrome (WFS) and hepatopancreatic necrosis syndrome. This study identifies temperature as the primary driver of microbial structure and proposes "enterotypes" as a key ecological indicator for predicting the health of poikilothermic animals in the context of climate change.

Analysis of the shrimp hepatopancreas transcriptome under experimental EHP infection conditions

EHP is a specialized intracellular parasite, primarily parasitizing the hepatopancreas of shrimp, causing severe growth retardation. In this study, Penaeus vannamei shrimp were infected with EHP through artificial challenge experiments, and the differentially expressed genes and biological pathways in the hepatopancreas between EHP-infected and healthy shrimp were analyzed using transcriptome sequencing.

Highly virulent Vibrio antagonistic probiotic

Max 4000 New has significantly demonstrated the ability to inhibit Vibrio TPD (Vibrio parahaemolyticus, a pathogenic strain causing white turbidity and hepatopancreatic disease in Pacific white shrimp) when used at standard concentrations.

Balancing the Rearing Environment with Specialized Probiotics MAX 4000 NEW

Currently, water quality management in shrimp ponds is one of the primary concerns for shrimp farmers, as inadequate water quality is a major cause of shrimp diseases, slow growth, feed refusal, and mortality.

Application of probiotics to reduce Vibrio virulence and glass post-larval disease in shrimp

SOILMAX, PROGUT, PROSUR, and BIOMAX are microbial products used in shrimp farming to control pathogenic bacteria (in the external environment and inside the shrimp's body), especially Vibrio parahaemolyticus bacteria causing Glass Post-larvae Disease (TPD/GPD).

Genetically modified yeast proves a promising astaxanthin source for shrimp feed

Astaxanthin produced by a genetically modified yeast strain has been proven to be more effective than synthetic alternatives in improving the immune system and coloration of farmed Pacific white shrimp.

Diet to boost shrimp immunity against fusarium fungus

Shrimp's growth rate, immunity, and ability to resist harmful fungi on vegetation and in water are improved when β-1,3 glucan is supplemented.

Microbial system in aquaculture ponds under the influence of silicic acid

In aquaculture systems, microbial communities play a crucial role in providing supplementary feed, enhancing nutrient utilization efficiency, reducing anoxia, and minimizing environmental impact. Several forms of Silicon (Si) are commonly found in natural water, such as monosilicic acid and polysilicic acid. This study aims to evaluate the concentration of these acids in shrimp ponds and determine their effect on the development of pond microorganisms.
