To proactively prevent shrimp diseases effectively, shrimp farmers need to promptly report to the veterinary treatment system at the grassroots level to have measures to control the disease. For pond areas that are not infected with the disease, shrimp farmers need to increase care and combine good environmental treatment. For ponds that have not yet released shrimp, it is necessary to treat the environment according to the correct process and choose reputable and quality seed sources.

In the current erratic weather conditions of sunshine and rain, shrimp are susceptible to disease. Shrimp farmers need to use nets around the pond banks to prevent crabs, crabs, etc. from entering the pond from outside.
