Investigating the impact of chlorine dioxide in shrimp-rearing water on the stomach microbiome, gill transcriptome, and infection-related mortality in shrimp.

The use of ClO2 at appropriate concentrations effectively eliminates a significant portion of the bacteria in the shrimp stomach and pathogens in the water. The results of this study provide fundamental knowledge on the disinfection of pathogens in water using ClO2 and the creation of semi germ-free shrimp, which has significantly decreased microbiome in the stomach.
