Recognized Shrimp Condition

Recognized Shrimp Condition

One of characteristhic from shrimp culture like it have been discussed before is shrimp sensitivity. Different from shrimp natural habitat, pond is a artificial habitat form for shrimp. Inside the pond, shrimp is very sensitive toward changes that happened at around it environment that caused by natural factors (changes of climate, wheather, water) although caused by shrimp culture technical treatment factors on that pond.

Based on logical frame above, so except knowledge in line with shrimp fry quality criteria (it have been discused before), another aspect that so important to be known is practicaly knowledge about shrimp condition that it can be implemented directly at the field. This knowledge is tobe need as reference on decision making process related with a trouble that happened at shrimps included a treatment which it need to be implemented in accordance with fastly, exactly also effective and efficien.

Some parameters that can be used on diagnosed shrimp condition are :

1. Intestines. With visual monitoring method, shrimp intestines can indicated it condition at that time. On normal condition shrimp intestines is fully and not broken also it colored as like a food that have consumed at that moment. If shrimp intestines is not on normal condition, then it need to be monitored toward another shrimp samples, and if the result is on the same condition, it can be said that the shrimps at this population is already affected by trouble/disease. Another case that need to be waried is if shrimps majority have red colored intestines, this condition is mean that shrimp have been consumed a dead/carrions shrimp. In another word, it have been a mass dead of shrimps at mentioned population that caused by a disease or another factors.
   
   A practicaly monitoring toward shrimp intestines can be done as directly and more clear if it be seen under light /sun’s ray.
   


2. Hepatopancreas.At the discussion before, it have been mentioned that this body organ is identical with shrimp stomach and its a center for shrimp digestion that located at shrimp head and on normal condition it formed like triangle also have brownish color. On the especially cases, shrimp hepatopanchreas size is decreasing and it have white or blue color. This condition is indicated that a shrimp is already affected by a problem/trouble and its need to be give technical treatment in connection with that shrimp condition.
   
   Like an intestines, a practical monitoring toward hepatopanchreas can be done as directly and more clear if it be seen under light /sun’s ray.
   


3. Shrimp body rubbery. Monitoring toward shrimp body rubbery can be done with pressing shrimp body method using two fingers. At normal condition shrimp body is rubbery feel, in the other hand at problemed condition shrimp body is porousy/softly.
   


4. Shrimp shell color, it is related with water quality at that moment. Shrimp shell is composed by chitin that is a shell shape substance which it compotion are calcium and protein. Chitin is very sensitive toward around environment changes, until at the moment that a shrimp is in the process of moulting (shell change process), shrimp shell color will adjust with water quality at that moment. At the normal condition, shrimp shell is seem cleany and shined. A condition that need to be waried is if shrimp shell become redden (indicated red gill disease), it have white spot (indicated white spot disease), also it have blue seem color (indicated oxigen and nutrient is minus. Other condion that need to be conscientioused that is mossy shrimp shell that caused by high water brigth level with the result that mossy will sprout up at bottom.
   


5. Shrimp gill. This body organ also need to be conscientioused on shrimp condition monitoring process. At a normal condition, shrimp gill is cleany. A matter that need to be waried is if shrimp gill become dirty and redness also shrimp become passively that is indicated red gill disease.


6. Body organ completely. At normal condition, shrimp body organ is complete, some situation that need to be conscientioused is shrimp on like condition : lack tail, broken antennas, broken legs, lacerated skin and other organ is missing. This condition caused by cannibalism or disease.
