Abstract: The White Spot Syndrome Virus (WSSV) is a virus affecting shrimps as well as other crustaceans, and the WSSV epidemic poses a serious threat to the shrimp farming industry. The present invention relates to compositions and methods for inducing tolerance and/or immunity to White Spot Syndrome Virus infections. In one embodiment, the invention provides for a tolerine composition based on inactivated viral particles. In another embodiment, the invention provides for a method for inducing tolerance/immunity in shrimps by exposing larval shrimps to the tolerine composition. In yet another embodiment, the invention provides for tolerine composition with improved purity.

Abstract: A mariculture system and method of culturing marine life with polluted source water. The system includes a water replenishment reservoir, activated carbon and ozone purification devices, a device for removing toxic byproducts of ozonation of salty or brackish (bromine-containing) water, and ponds for the culture of marine animals. The method includes obtaining water containing compounds and organisms detrimental to marine animal life, treating the water so it is suitable for the culture of marine animals, and raising and harvesting marine animals in the treated water.
