Lesões sugestivas de infecção hipodermal e necrose hematopoiética em camarão marinho, relacionadas com variáveis de cultivo

Abstract

It can be observed nowadays that the increase in the commercial shrimp produc-tion occurs concomitantly with an enhancement of the incidence of diseases. These last ones can cause innumerable damages to the shrimp farmers in the whole world. Amongst these diseases, it can be distinguished the Infectious Hypodermal and Hema-topoietic Necrosis (IHHN), with viral etiology, that can be characterized by not causing great mortality, but body deformities. In addition to this, it frequently leads shrimp to heterogenic growth. For viruses diagnosis histology is an efficient tool, allowing the verification of the health of these crustaceans. This study aimed the observation of the occurrence of IHHN characteristic histopatologic injuries in Litopenaeus vannamei, and its relation with parameters of culture of marine shrimp farms in the state of Per-nambuco. After multiple regression statistic analysis it could be concluded that the tem-perature of the water of the pound and its oxygen availability are narrowly related with the occurrence of those histopatologic injuries.
