Abstract

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations has assumed that by 2030, shrimp supplies from the global world would increase to 9 million metric tons (FAO, 2013). The intensive aquaculture system had been expanding and emerged as the most promising and practical method to meet the huge demand for cultured shrimp species. However, in an intensive culture system, shrimp is subjected to stress conditions/ecological challenges that weaken their immune system, eventually leading to increased shrimp susceptibility to diseases such as Infectious Myonecrosis, Enterocytozoon Hepatopenaei, Early Mortality Syndrome (EMS), or Acute Hepatopancreatic Necrosis Disease (AHPND) (Dawood and Keshia, 2016). These diseases have caused massive shrimp death, loss of production and remain the major cause of concern for shrimp farmers.
