The pacific white shrimp (
This is one of the severe systemic diseases caused by bacteria, which affects shrimps and exhibits the symptoms such as lethargic, show abnormal swimming behavior, expansion of chromatophores, followed by reddish color change in the pleopods which can be seen in the abdominal musculature. In chronic cases, the gill covers appear flared up and eroded along with the melanized black blisters on the carapace and abdomen. The disease caused by
Inflammation in the cells explores the proteins release from tissues and cells, which reflects on the color change of the animals as like milky white. This disease could be caused due to several unfavorable environmental conditions such as water quality, organic load, malnutrition and wastes producecd from the animals, in chronic cases, melanization of setae, antennae, appendages and muscle can be witnessed. Necrosis is usually caused by
Shrimps affected by Necrosis 1.
This kind of disease in shrimps showed brown to black enodsed areas on the body surface and appendages,
Members of the microorganism genus
Vibriosis in shrimp 1.
The disease was characterized by fouling of gills, setae, appendages and body surface. Molting is impaired and the larval shrimp may die due to stress and hypoxia, which is caused by filamentous bacteria such as
Unfavorable environment such as poor soil and water quality.
Poor water exchange facilities with high stock density.
Usage of poor quality feeds with low protein content.
Accumulation of sludge in the pond bottom due to the presence of unutilized feed.
Presence of gut micro flora and numerous virulent pathogens in the pond.
Bacteriophage therapy acts as a prophylactic alternative instead of antibiotics usage in shrimp industry. These are viruses that kill only specific disease causing pathogens and acts as therapeutic agents in pathogenic infections. Unlike antibiotics, bacteriophage therapy has no residual issues and has advantages of being specific to their host bacteria, without harming other micro-organisms [10]. In aquaculture hatcheries, bacterial diseases often cause considerable economic loss across globe for hatchery operators. Bacteriophages and their lytic enzymes are in use for therapy of bacterial infections in human and animals, as biocontrol agents for food protection also as tools in molecular biology, the penentration of phage DNA inside a bacteria is promoted by lysossome produced by the phage. In yellow tail fish, a pathogen named
Bacteriophage attached to bacterial cell 1.
Herbs act as antibiotic for controlling or reduce the infection of pathogen in aquaculture sector and also increases the survival rate of organisms, during outbreak of disease managements. In
Probiotics gaining more attention in recent scenario in all sectors including aquaculture, agriculture and animal husbandry when considering other remedies probiotics acts as a better option rather than incorporating antibiotics to control pathogens in aquaculture. The term probiotic has been defined as a mono or mixed culture of live microorganisms which can be applied to animal or human to enhance the immune system. The animal health is then improved by the removal or decrease in population density of pathogens and by improving water quality through more rapid degradation of waste organic matter (sludge). Environmental microbiology and biotechnology have advanced in the past decade, to the point that commercial products and technologies are available for treating large areas of water and land to enhance population densities of desired microbial species or biochemical activities. The practice of bioremediation is applied in many areas of interest, but success rate varies in different areas, depending on the environmental conditions, nature of products and the method of usage by the consumer, the probiotic that are added must be selected for specific functions. Bioaugmentation and the use of probiotics are significant tools for aquaculture but their efficiency depends on understanding the nature of competition between disease causing pathogens and desired strains of bacteria.
The disease control programmers in aquaculture must include examination of diseases and mortalities in a holistic manner and consider various factors such as stocking densities, environment (turbidity, temperature, pH, salinity, dissolved oxygen, H2S,NH3,NO2, etc. of water and redox potential of soil), rate of water exchange, presence of toxic bottom dwelling algae, the type of feed and its FCR ratio by the shrimps, phytoplankton bloom, physiological status of shrimps, etc. [13]. Most of the disease control methods are based on preventive measures. They are,
Better husbandry practices,
Use of balanced nutritional supplement,
Implementing nursery setup to avoid mortality in culture ponds,
Use of GMO stocks for culture,
Use of herbal extracts as antibiotics and
Use of vaccines or drugs.
Diseases can be prevented by adapting better animal handling practices and providing adequate amount of nutrient rich feed [14]. Vibriosis is controlled by rigorous water management through ROS systems and sanitation to prevent the entry of vibrio in the culture water and to reduce stress on the shrimps. Good site selection, pond design and pond preparation are also important. An increase in daily water exchanges and a reduction in pond biomass by partial harvesting are recommended to reduce mortalities caused by Vibriosis. Draining, drying and administering lime/dolomite to ponds following harvest is also recommended [15].
In spite of all these recent advancements to eradicate all the bacterial diseases in shrimps, still there is a void for complete eradication of these diseases. Various techniques and medicines are introduced to cure these bacterial infections, but still there are certain side effects for consumers, by introducing antibiotics and other medicines for respective infections. So when it comes to large scale like commercial farming, the efficacy of the above mentioned techniques for prevention and cure of cultured shrimps from bacterial diseases is low when compared to laboratory conditions.

Marine eutrophication has a negative impact on food security, ecosystem health and economy through disruptions in tourism, fisheries and health industries. Both N and P have known point and non-point sources. Control of point sources has been easier than non-point sources particularly agricultural sources for both N and P as well as fossil fuel combustion for N, which remains a major challenge. Implementing mitigation strategies for N has been reported to be effective for P mitigation; however, the converse is not true due to mobility and volatility of N. Excessive N and P cause algae blooms, anoxic conditions, and ocean acidification with these conditions leading to dead zones, fish kill, toxin production, altered plant species diversity, food web disruption, tourism disruption and health issues. Management of N and P pollution includes reduction of leaching from farms through crop selection, timely and precise application of fertilizer and building artificial wetlands, proper management of animal waste, reduction of fossil fuel N emission, mitigating N and P from urban sources and restoration of aquatic ecosystem. Mitigation measures need to focus on dual nutrient strategy for successful N and P reduction.",book:{id:"7547",slug:"monitoring-of-marine-pollution",title:"Monitoring of Marine Pollution",fullTitle:"Monitoring of Marine Pollution"},signatures:"Lucy Ngatia, Johnny M.

In this chapter, a broad overview of recent empirical statistical and machine learning techniques for modelling PM10 is presented. This includes the instrumentation used to measure particulate matter, data preprocessing, the selection of explanatory variables and modelling methods. Key features of some PM10 prediction models developed in the last 10 years are described, and current work modelling and predicting PM10 trends in New Zealand—a remote country of islands in the South Pacific Ocean—are examined.

The air pollution is because of a complex interaction of dispersion and emission of toxic pollutants from manufactories. Air pollution caused due to the introduction of dust particles, gases, and smoke into the atmosphere exceeds the air quality levels. Air pollutants are the precursor of photochemical smog and acid rain that causes the asthmatic problems leading into serious illness of lung cancer, depletes the stratospheric ozone, and contributes in global warming. In the present industrial economy era, air pollution is an unavoidable product that cannot be completely removed but stern actions can reduce it. Pollution can be reduced through collective as well as individual contributions. There are multiple sources of air pollution, which are industries, fossil fuels, agro waste, and vehicular emissions. Industrial processes upgradation, energy efficiency, agricultural waste burning control, and fuel conversion are important aspects to reducing pollutants which create the industrial air pollution.

The endocrine and nervous systems play important roles in maintaining homeostasis in the human body. Integration, which is the biological basis of physiology, is achieved through communication between the many overlapping functions of the human body's systems, which takes place through electrical and chemical means. Much of the basis of our knowledge of human physiology has been provided by animal experiments. Because of the close relationship between structure and function, studies in human physiology and anatomy seek to understand the mechanisms that help the human body function. The series on human physiology deals with the various mechanisms of interaction between the various organs, nerves, and cells in the human body.",coverUrl:"https://cdn.intechopen.com/series_topics/covers/12.jpg",keywords:"Anatomy, Cells, Organs, Systems, Homeostasis, Functions"},{id:"13",title:"Plant Physiology",scope:"Plant Physiology explores fundamental processes in plants, and it includes subtopics such as plant nutrition, plant hormone, photosynthesis, respiration, and plant stress.
