Due to population growth, the need for protein resources has increased. It is followed by aquaculture activities, especially shrimp, as a source of protein. Shrimp breeding farms need to increase biosecurity to improve the quality of their performance. To improve biosecurity and reduce the prevalence of the disease, breeding farms should be established away from other aquaculture facilities, especially away from other hatcheries wastewater and away from the nursery and growing activities. Important points to consider to increase biosecurity in shrimp breeding farms include: A) Separation of areas with different functions (broodstocks, live food production, larval cultivation), each of which has a disinfection pool and hand washing at the entrance, B) Disinfection and washing of all equipment such as water quality monitoring equipment, nets, and pans before use and when moving between sections, C) Staff training for biosecurity and health management, H) quarantine new shrimp (broodstocks, post-larvae), H) Strict separation of shrimp that shows signs of disease, D) Daily monitoring for pathogens and diseases, and rapid diagnosis of the disease and F) Optimizing water quality and nutrition to improve overall health and larval resistance.
