Biocontrol for Shrimp Disease: Comprehensive Review and a Bacterial Disease Biocontrol Practice

Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 18, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Biocontrol is a key strategy for disease control, as it is environmentally friendly and widely applicable. This review elaborates on biocontrol in aquaculture, particularly in shrimp culture. Biocontrol in shrimp culture mainly relies on four strategies: (i) direct kill pathogen by Bdellovibrio or bacteriophages; (ii) suppression of intestinal
