Summary:
In early 2014, a trial to evaluate the effects of a mixture
of Bacillus strains on early mortality syndrome bacteria
during the larviculture and nursery phases for shrimp was
carried out at a commercial hatchery in Mexico. The application
of the Bacillus mixture during the initial growth
of nauplii through P.L.3
led to a clear improvement in
survival. At the end of a second phase reflecting growth
to P.L.15, continued probiotic treatment increased overall
postlarvae production as well as animal size.
