Good Pond Preparation
For Better Crop
Diseases in shrimpPrimary
• Poor Culture
management
Secondary
• Organic
matter
• DO
• Poor water
quality
• Poor climate
• Staff
Result
• WSSV
• Vibrio
• White gut
• White
muscle
• Stunted
growth
• Gill disease
• Unknown
mortalities
• etc
Bad pond preparation Leads to Low
survival
• Decreases pond carrying capacity
• Increase disease conditions
• So the survival goes down
Bad pond preparation leads to
10 days
40 days 70 days
PLANKTON: Early plankton crash/thick bloom
Plankton Crash and Depletion of DO
Pond bottom/ SludgeEarly Accumulation of toxic gasses
More Vibrios and White gut incidences
Microsporidians
(EHP)
• An Emerging Pathogen
• Hepatopancreatic Tubule Epithelial
Cells
• This Farms Affected By Retarded
Shrimp Growth
• Exhibited High mortality associated
with white faeces syndrome (WFS)
Causes of Brownish Gill
• Lumniscent / Vibrio bacteria
• Low Oxygen Levels
• Suspended solids
• Algal Choke/plankton crash
Viral disease more: Vectors/ carriers
Improper Pond preparation and poor Biosecurity
leads to WSSV
• Prolonged Green or brown gill conditions
• Deteriorated pond bottom
To avoid disease
Steps in Pond preparation
1 Removal of organic matter:
2 Drying: oxidation of organic matter
3 Liming: according to pH
4 Tilling: improve oxidation of nutrients and
organic matter
5 Soil enrichment: adding supplements
which are deficient in soils
For minimum period of 30-40 days prior to
every crop

• Effective method of eliminating undesirable species
• oxidizes harmful chemicals especially sulphides
• facilitates mineralization of organic matter
• Decreases Carbon content

Tilling
• Improves soil quality
• Speeds up the oxidation process
• Release of nutrients that are locked in the soil.
• Also improves the liming efficiency by mixing

SOIL ENRICHMENT
DRY METHOD (ON SOIL APPLICATION):
1. Rice flour 50 kg per acre.
2. Rice Bran 20 kg per acre.
3. Probiotics 2 ltrs. Per acre.
4. Minerals 2 kg per acre.
WET METHOD (WATER APPLICATION):
1. Rice flour 25 kg per acre.
2. Rice bran 10 kg per acre.
3. Jaggery 10-15 kg per acre.
4. Yeast 1 kg per acre.
 Soak in water fermentation for 24-36 Hrs.
Uses of Enrichment
• Digests sludge
• Promotes good bacteria
• Improves nutrient cycles and bioavailability of
nutrients
• Balances nutrients and improves C:N ratio
Biosecurity For Prevention of viral
Diseases
• To avoid pathogens
• To avoid unwanted species (Mysid, fishes,
molluscans etc)
• To avoid vectors(Crabs, Arthropods etc)
• To avoid contamination between farms and
ponds
Bio Security:
 Bird Fencing
 Crab Fencing
 Use good meshes at water pumping (40,60,80,100)
 Use PP water at enter into the farm and before enter to
the farm wash your hands and legs
