EARLY MORTALITY SYNDROME (EMS)
Science-based aquaculture has driven the growth of the industry globally.
Dr. Newman – Talks & Presentations
Dr. Stephen G. Newman’s presentations cover the full scope of modern aquaculture, including fish and shrimp production, biosecurity, sustainability, and nutrition.
With over four decades of international experience, Dr. Newman combines scientific expertise with practical, real-world solutions, helping producers, researchers, and industry stakeholders enhance operational efficiency and promote long-term sustainability across the global aquaculture sector.
This Presentation explores (microbial management, Vibrios/EHP control, RAS system, sustainable aquaculture practices). Drawing on Dr. Newman’s experience, it provides actionable insights, strategies, and best practices designed to improve water quality, support better growth, and optimize production outcomes.

Management is primarily through exclusion.
It is important to note that the use of SPF PLs from true NBCs is perhaps the most critical element of control. For the most part, as with all too many things in shrimp farming, you are far more likely to be sold PLs from someone who claims to have these and validates the claim through PCR, a method that is not suitable for this purpose without considering other factors. This ensures that EMS will persist in one form or another. The toxin can weaken animals and can be present in populations that are PCR "negative"
