SILKROSE FOR SHRIMP: Fighting Vibriosis in Kuruma Aquaculture with a Natural Solution

A Natural Breakthrough in Shrimp Health Management
In the world of shrimp aquaculture, disease is the invisible threat that can decimate harvests and disrupt livelihoods. Among the most devastating is vibriosis—particularly infections caused by Vibrio penaeicida in Kuruma shrimp (Marsupenaeus japonicus), a premium species known for its culinary and economic value.
Silkrose for Shrimp explores a game-changing solution: Silkrose, a bioactive polysaccharide extracted from silkworm pupae, capable of enhancing the innate immune response of shrimp—naturally and effectively.
Based on rigorous scientific research and laboratory trials, this book follows the journey of Silkrose from discovery to application, revealing how a discarded by-product of the silk industry holds promise for sustainable disease prevention in aquaculture. The author, Dr. Indri Afriani Yasin, shares findings from her doctoral work at Ehime University, Japan, and offers clear guidance for applying Silkrose in real-world shrimp farming systems.
Combining science, innovation, and practical relevance, this book is essential reading for aquaculture professionals, researchers, students, and anyone seeking natural, eco-friendly solutions to modern aquaculture challenges.
