Novel alternative to antibiotics in shrimp hatchery: effects of the essential oil of <i>Cinnamosma fragrans</i> on survival and bacterial concentration of <i>Penaeus monodon</i> larvae

Abstract

The potential of C. fragrans essential oil to control the bacterial load in in vivo conditions, thereby enhancing survival rate of P. monodon larvae, makes it a relevant option for developing a novel alternative to antibiotics in shrimp hatchery culture.
