known widely as major shrimp pathogens. Antibiotics are extensively used in farms and aquaculture as food additives to promote animal growth and prevent diseases. Consequently, antibiotics are released in large amounts into natural ecosystems, where they can impact the structure and activity of environmental microbial populations (Martinez, 2009a; Martinez, 2009b). Undoubtedly, the occurrence and dissemination of antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) are recognized
alter water chemically; nothing is being added except energy that penetrates the outer cell membrane, passes through the cell body and disrupts its nucleic acid, thereby preventing them from replicating. For proper selection of UV sterilizers in aquaculture, key parameters need to be identified and considered. The target pathogen as well as the log inactivation should be
