In a survey of Vibrio concentrations in white shrimp postlarvae at two inland farms, hatchery postlarvae were acclimated in water with salinity reduced from 30 and 5 ppt to 2 ppt at the farms. One farm stocked postlarvae in nursery ponds, and the other stocked directly into grow-out ponds.

Since Vibrio samples often degrade during transport, the authors analyzed nucleic acids (FTA) cards as a simplified, shelf-stable collection method for the preservation of genetic material from water samples.
