Tropical shrimp, like Litopenaeus vannamei , in land‐based recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) are often kept at low water salinities to reduce costs for artificial sea salt and the amount of salty wastewater. Although these shrimp are tolerant against low salinities, innate immunity suppression and changes in the microbial composition in the water can occur. As especially Vibrio spp. are relevant for shrimp health, altera...

Due to their pathogenic potential, identifying Vibrio species from recirculating aquaculture systems ( RAS ) for Pacific white shrimp ( Litopenaeus vannamei ) is of great importance to determine the risk for animal's as well as for the consumer's health. The present study compared identification results for a total of 93 Vibrio isolates, including type strains and isolates from shrimp aquaculture. Results from biochemical iden...
