Early Mortality Syndrome (EMS), more properly known as acute hepatopancreatic necrotic
syndrome, is thought to be caused by an infected form of the vibrio
parahaemolyticus bacteria, and this discovery is leading to a growing number of shrimp farmers finding ways to deal with the disease.
Even in Southeast Asia, where the disease has run rampant for years
and cost a fortune in damages, Joanne’s story notes there are already
hints of recovery, but it’s still a long road. Shrimp farmers may all
have the same goal, and may all be using the same technology in general
terms, but when we get into the specifics of how a farm is run, there
are many differences — and therefore many different solutions to the EMS
problem.
