Quick, hydrated limes impractical for controlling vibriosis in shrimp ponds
Based on the results of a study in Peru, the authors found that the high volumes of quick lime and hydrated lime needed to effectively control vibriosis outbreaks in shrimp ponds would raise pH levels in culture water and stress the animals under culture.

New approaches can help ensure safety of raw farmed oysters
Practical post-harvest oyster processing methods are needed. Preliminary studies evaluated the potential of high-salinity relaying to control Vibrio levels in raw oysters.

Vibrio contamination in raw oysters controlled by post-harvest treatments
The levels of harmful Vibrio bacteria – a pathogen that multiplies at higher temperatures – in raw oysters depend largely on post-harvest handling.

X-ray irradiation: Technology improves safety of live oysters
Various techniques have been proposed to reduce Vibrio bacteria in live and processed oysters. In studies, X-ray treatments successfully reduced Vibrio populations.
