Due to the problems of water shortage and limitation, aquaponics is growing day by day. Despite the fact that it is in the experimental stages, more countries are increasingly adding themselves to the implementation of this system.
Some experiments demonstrate that oral vaccination of the two most important cultured shrimp species, P. monodon and L. vannamei using a WSSV VP28-based vaccine can be performed successfully. Most likely this increased protection upon vaccination is based on a shared and therefore general mechanism present in all shrimp species, making the design of vaccines against pathogens a viable option for shrimp culture.
