Analysis of Vibrio Bacterial Diversity in Shrimp Aquaculture Systems of Tamil Nadu

Vibrio bacteria pose significant challenges to shrimp aquaculture due to their pathogenicity and impact on shrimp health. This review investigates the diversity and prevalence of Vibrio species in shrimp farms across Tamil Nadu, India, a key region for shrimp farming. Drawing on studies that analysed samples from water, sediment, and shrimp, it identifies several Vibrio species, including Vibrio harveyi, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, and Vibrio vulnificus. The review highlights geographical variations in the prevalence of these bacteria and their association with disease outbreaks. The findings underscore the complexity of managing Vibrio infections, given the high levels of antibiotic resistance reported. Effective management strategies, including enhanced monitoring, biosecurity measures, and alternative treatments, are crucial for controlling Vibrio-related diseases and improving shrimp farm productivity. This comprehensive analysis provides valuable insights into Vibrio bacterial diversity, aiding in the development of targeted interventions to mitigate the impact of these pathogens on shrimp aquaculture.
