10 HOW CAN WE REDUCE DISEASE RISK? Lessons Learned in Responsible Aquaculture Initiated in 2011 by the World Bank, the Responsible Aquaculture Foundation, and GAA. Objectives To conduct case studies on selected epidemics To identify common causes and solutions To improve preventative management, policy, and regulation. 10

11 REDUCING DISEASE RISK IN AQUACULTURE Three Case Studies: 2011: ISA in Chile 2012: EMS in Vietnam 2013: WSSV in Mozambique and Madagascar Report can be downloaded from the GAA website: m/whitepapers.php

12 2011 CASE STUDY IN CHILE: INFECTIOUS SALMON ANEMIA VIRUS Producers captivated by rapid growth of the sector. Inadequate biosecurity, surveillance, zone management Fast response by industry, banks, and regulators

13 2012 CASE STUDY IN VIETNAM: EARLY MORTALITY SYNDROME OF SHRIMP EMS started in China and spread to Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand, and Mexico Study began before cause of disease was known, but members of the team identified the pathogen a few months later. Inadequate biosecurity, sanitation, quarantine, and surveillance.

14 2013 CASE STUDY IN MOZ AND MAD: WHITE SPOT VIRUS OF SHRIMP Strain identification of the WSSV pathogen indicated that it originated from the Middle East. Limited surveillance and biosecurity Need for cooperation between Mozambique and Madagascar

15 TOPICS 1. Our Dilemma 2. Disease Case Studies 3. Shrimp Health Management The Past The Present Early Mortality Syndrome The Future 4. Conclusions 5. Panel Discussion

16 THE PAST: BEGINNING WITH PRIMITIVE SYSTEMS, LOW YIELDS For centuries, shrimp farming was conducted in a very primitive manner Crude, tidal ponds Wild postlarvae Minimal control of stocking density, predators, environment, nutrition, or health

17 The Past: Learning the fundamentals to increase control Dr. Fujinaga ( ) Developed techniques for spawning, larval rearing, and growout of P. japonicus Dr. Liao ( ) Transferred Fujinaga s technology to P. monodon in Taiwan Intensive farming systems of Taiwan became the model for Asia

18 TAIWAN IN 1980 S: INTENSIFICATION AND FRAGMENTATION

20 REPEATED DISEASE OUTBREAKS Year Countries Disease 1982 Ecuador BP 1988 Taiwan YHV 1992 China, pandemic WSSV 1994 Ecuador, pandemic TSV 2002 Thailand, Indonesia MSGV 2004 Brazil, Indonesia IMNV 2006 Belize, Mexico PvNv 2010 China, Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand, Mexico EMS

21 WSSV EPIDEMIC TRIGGERED ENVIRONMENTAL ATTACKS. WSSV began in China and spread throughout Asia and Americas. Global shrimp production was flat for a decade. Critics asserted that shrimp farming is inherently unsustainable (mangrove destruction, pollution, banned chemicals, social issues) Supreme Court of India ruled against shrimp farming in 1996.

22 FORMATION OF GAA Founded in 1997 Gathered facts to refute exaggerations Developed Codes of Practice for Responsible Shrimp Farming in 1999 Developed BAP standards for certification of farms, hatcheries, feed mills, and processing plants Great improvements in mangrove conservation, pollution, etc. 1.4 mlllion MT now BAP certified.

23 WSSV EPIDEMIC LED TO IMPROVED HEALTH MANAGEMENT Biosecurity Widespread use of PCR testing Tightening regulations on movement of animals Farm management Reduced water exchange which led to development of biofloc systems Control of disease carriers with disinfectants, crustacides, and bird netting

24 THE BREAKTHROUGH: SPF L. VANNAMEI Breeding of Specifc Pathogen Free stocks by Oceanic Institute in Hawaii Initial trials successful in Texas, but failed in Ecuador due to Taura Syndrome Virus Bred SPF stocks for resistance to TSV Rapidly replaced infected P. monodon. Led to development of private breeding companies (e.g., CP, SIS, Kona Bay).

32 2014 SURVEY ON EMS IN AFFECTED COUNTRIES Expert Committee Patrick Sorgeloos, Don Lightner, Victoria Alday, Noriaki Akazawa, Stephen Newman, Loc Tran, James Brock, Bruno Gil, Indrani Karunasagar, Randall Brummett, Huang Jie, Angus Cameron, CV Mojan, Peter van Wyk, George Chamberlain Online survey of farms in each affected country Identify practices associated with successful EMS management Dr. Brendan Cowlan will summarize during the panel Followup case studies of selected farms In-depth audits to validate trends seen in survey

33 THE EMS EXPERT COMMITTEE TESTED THE SURVEY BY INTERVIEWING VIETNAMESE FARMERS

34 WHAT HAVE WE LEARNED? Early mortality syndrome (EMS), or acute hepatopancreatic necrosis syndrome (AHPNS), is a bacterial disease caused by a strain of Vibrio parahaemolyticus It does not affect humans 34

35 EMS COLONIZES THE STOMACH AND PRODUCES A TOXIN THAT DAMAGES THE HEPATOPANCREAS Lumen of Stomach Microcolony of bacteria growing on epicuticle of gastric wall 35

36 HOW IS IT TRANSMITTED? Vertically Can be carried in broodstock and larvae Live feeds for shrimp reproduction, esp. polychaete worms are a major concern Horizontally Cannibalism, consumption of carriers, fecal/oral, and water. Bacterial plaque on egg 36 Cannibalism

37 WHY IS THE EMS PATHOGEN DIFFERENT THAN A VIRUS? Unlike viruses, it does not require a host organism to replicate Once established in the environment. It colonizes quickly It can be displaced by a mature microbial community 37

38 A LUCKY, UNEXPECTED BREAK: GENETICALLY-RESISTANT L. VANNAMEI Survey revealed a promising trend with EMSresistant L. vannamei in Mexico Preliminary followup data supports this trend: Shrimp Production in EMS-Affected Areas in Sonora, Mexico EMS-resistant Non-resistant Production (kg/ha) 1,800-2, Survival (%) Pre-harvest Final harvest

39 PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER Diagnostics Improved PCR tests Breeding Genetic resistance to EMS Hatchery Avoid infected foods Improve sanitation Farm Manage microbial community Feed Additives to improve EMS resistance

40 WHAT S NEXT? We are learning to manage EMS, but already other new diseases are emerging Microsporidean parasite Covert Nodavirus 40

42 THE FUTURE Our journey As shrimp farming matures, it must continue to develop improved controls that help reduce disease risk, increase production, and improve sustainability. 42

45 SPF STOCKS WITH RESISTANCE TO WSSV ARE ALSO AVAILABLE

46 Weight MARKER-ASSISTED BREEDING Molecular Markers (SNPs) used for trait identification in mainstream agriculture. In Hawaii, soy farmers are funding research on markers for dietary soy tolerance in shrimp Fishmeal Soybean meal

47 DEEP INTENSIVE PONDS Deep ponds (3-5 m) used in Vietnam for Pangasius now being built for shrimp in China Can achieve yields of mt/ha/cycle. Pangasius

48 MORE EFFICIENT FEEDING Salmon farms achieve the lowest FCRs in aquaculture Centralized computer controlled feeding systems being used in shrimp ponds in Brunei to drive down FCR Salmon farming

49 INTEGRATED MULTI-TROPHIC AQUACULTURE Mussels feed on algae and organic waste from salmon farms in Chile Clams feed on algae and organic waste in shrimp ponds in Hawaii and produce a valuable secondary crop. Salmon/mussel/kelp farming

50 ZONE MANAGEMENT STANDARD Zone management standards are under development as BAP 5 th star Proximity among farms Veterinary services Quarantine Management practices Information sharing

51 Million Metric Tonnes OUR EXPECTION: SHRIMP FARMING WILL DOUBLE IN THE NEXT DECADE *

52 CONCLUSIONS Seafood demand is strong due to rising middle class in Asia and aquaculture is the only way to meet this increasing demand Disease is a key factor limiting industry growth, but the industry is recovering from EMS. Brazil is in a strong position to implement improving technology and expand production to meet the growing global shrimp demand. Major opportunities: Utilize SPF L. vannamei lines that are genetically resistant to IMNV and WSSV Implement biosecure intensive systems
