Combating EHP: The Silent Threat to Shrimp Profitability

Enterocytozoon hepatopenaei (EHP) is a microsporidian parasite that has become a critical challenge in modern shrimp farming. By targeting the hepatopancreas, EHP disrupts nutrient absorption, leading to severe growth retardation and substantial economic losses for producers worldwide.

​

The Hidden Cost of Infection

Unlike other pathogens, EHP is often difficult to detect in its early stages because it does not typically cause immediate mortality. Instead, it acts as a chronic stressor that compromises the shrimp’s digestive system.

Key Symptoms & Risks:

• Stunted Growth: Infected populations exhibit significant size disparity and fail to reach market weight.

• Economic Loss: Increased Feed Conversion Ratios (FCR) and extended culture periods reduce profit margins.

• Co-Infection Vulnerability: While EHP is rarely fatal on its own, it weakens immune defenses, exacerbating the mortality rates of secondary diseases such as Acute Hepatopancreatic Necrosis Disease (AHPND) and White Spot Syndrome Virus (WSSV).

The Solution: Aqua Fix

High potency marine polysaccharide formulation designed to suppress aquatic pathogens and enhance immune response in shrimp farming. Recover lost potential and protect your harvest. Aqua Fix is formulated to combat the effects of microsporidian parasites, restoring gut health and optimizing nutrient uptake.
