TSV Infected Shrimp

Overview

Objectives/Goals My objective was to see if pacific white shrimp that are not infected with Taura Syndrome and are fed with green tea for a certain period, and then exposed to shrimp that are infected with TSV what would happen to the non-infected shrimp? Methods/Materials To test this I had equal number of infected and non-infected shrimp in two different tanks. I mixed green tea into the non-infected shrimp#s food to boost their immune system. I then mixed the infected shrimp with the non-infected. By doing this I was able to see if the shrimp that were non-infected became infected and the rate of that it occurred. Results My results were pretty self-explanatory, the green tea did have some effect on the shrimp of how fast the shrimp were getting the virus, but it didn#t help as much as we need it to help. Conclusions/Discussion If there are non-infected shrimp that are fed with green tea for a period of four days and then exposed to shrimp that are infected with the virus, then about half will be infected.
