Importancia del reconocimiento de las enfermedades producidas por hongos durante el cultivo del camarón blanco litopenaeus vannamei

Abstract

During the phases of white shrimp culture. Litopenaeus vannamei both from the stage of maturation, larviculture and fattening, presents the problem of diseases. diseases through forms of treatment such as; The use of probiotics, the implementation of immunostimulants, the use of antibiotics, the elimination or removal of organisms suspected of disease, is important in order to maintain a healthy population. For the above-mentioned in this study, a collection of the types of fungi that affect shrimp during its entire crop cycle, its incidence and affectation to the organism and at what stage of life the pathogen is most prevalent occurs. Also of preventive measures, for the control of infectious outbreaks, in addition, of the clinical signs that shrimp present as; lethargy, opacity, erratic swimming, abdominal distention, etc. For the above, the type of pathogen must be known; in this case of fungal origin, which may be affecting the organism, taking into account the cultivation phase to be able to prevent it in time and if it is already present to treat or eliminate it from the crop, thus avoiding future outbreaks and economic losses.
