Mortality of juvenile shrimp exposed to V. alginolyticus isolates in laboratory conditions. One way ANOVA was performed at ≤ 0.05 level of significance. Same letters indicate there is no significant variations in mortality of shrimp in different groups challenged with different isolates of V. alginolyticus.

Survival rate of shrimps fed with herbal extracts at day 7 after infection with a virulent strain of V. alginolyticus 2A1a. One way ANOVA was used for analysis of the data and mean value with standard deviation in the bar followed by the same letter (s) are not significantly different as assessed by LSD (Least Significance Difference) at p ≤ 0.05. Control group-1 was not exposed to the pathogen; Control group-2 was infected with the pathogen but fed normal commercial feed.
