requirements in the cultivation of freshwater fish

requirements in the cultivation of freshwater fish In cultivating fish in the pool or pond there are some requirements that need to be known, including among others : 1. Water Sources In the selection of places to fish farming need to pay attention to water resources . These water sources must be sufficient and adequate . These water sources can come from rivers , irrigation flow , as well as springs. water source available throughout the year as far as possible with adequate discharge . one example in a goldfish requires a water supply with a debit 10-16 liters / sec / ha . 2. Soil type and slope in building a pool should pay attention to soil type and slope . ponds are built should have a clay type of soil or sandy loam (sandy clay ) so it is not porous . The slope of the land used for fish culture should have a slope of 50-10 degrees and water conditions will thus facilitate the drainage of wat

Shrimp Disease: Disease Yellowhead

Shrimp Disease: Disease Yellowhead Cause: Yellow Head Virus (YHD), corona-like RNA virus (genus Okavirus, family Ronaviridae and the order Nidovirales) Bio - Ecology of Pathogens: • Krustase sensitive to infection with this virus include: Penaeus monodon, P. merguensis, P. semisulcatus, Metapenaeus ensis, Litopenaeus vannamei, etc.. • Shrimp black tiger shrimp is a very sensitive species, in acute cases can result in the death of up to 100% within 3.5 days since the first clinical symptoms appear. • Transmission occurs horizontally through the water shrimp or cannibalism to feed a sick or infected. • Post larvae (PL) shrimp aged <15 days relative resisters against infection with this virus compared with 20-25 days old PL or juveniles. • The molecular (DNA sequencing) from products of reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) of yellow head virus have similarities to the gill-associated virus (Gav), although different species or strains.
