Protocol Category
Disease-Specific Pond Preparation
Enhanced preparation protocols for ponds with confirmed or suspected disease history. Covers EHP (earthen and plastic-lined variants), viral outbreak response for plastic-lined ponds, and EMS prevention for both pond types. These protocols are not interchangeable. Each targets a different pathogen with materially different disinfection approaches.
4 protocols in this category
EHP Infected Pond Preparation: Earthen Ponds
This protocol prepares earthen ponds with a confirmed EHP (Enterocytozoon hepatopenaei) infection history for restocking. It uses a high-pH lime treatment followed by bioremediation to eliminate EHP spores.
Best for: Earthen ponds with EHP history, White Shrimp or Tiger Shrimp.
EHP Infected Pond Preparation: Plastic-Lined Ponds
This protocol prepares plastic-lined ponds with a confirmed EHP (Enterocytozoon hepatopenaei) infection history for restocking. The first steps are specific to lined ponds and cover drain flushing, soft-tool cleaning, sludge removal, and liner inspection.
Best for: Plastic-lined ponds with EHP history, White Shrimp or Tiger Shrimp.
Pond Preparation for EMS Prevention
This protocol prepares ponds to prevent Early Mortality Syndrome (EMS) by suppressing Vibrio spp. It applies to both earthen and plastic-lined ponds.
Best for: Earthen and plastic-lined ponds in EMS-prone areas or with prior Vibrio history, both White Shrimp and Tiger Shrimp.
Pond Preparation after Viral Outbreak: Plastic-Lined Ponds
This is a high-intensity preparation protocol for plastic-lined ponds following a confirmed viral disease outbreak. Incoming water is treated with 35 ppm active chlorine.
Best for: Plastic-lined ponds following a confirmed viral disease outbreak.
