Abstract
This study investigated the effect of several bivalves on the growth of luminous bacteria in a simulated shrimp culture environment using concrete tanks. Tanks were stocked with shrimp at a biomass of 100Â g/m3 and with brown mussel (158Â pcs/m3), green mussel (137Â pcs/m3), or oyster (376Â pcs/m3). Growth of luminous bacteria decreased to below 101Â cfu/ml in tanks with green mussel after 5Â d, brown mussel after 16Â d, and oyster after 17Â d. Bivalves, such as green and brown mussels, and oyster, could be used as an alternative species for polyculture with shrimp to control disease due to luminous bacteria.
