Research on the spread of pathogens-carrying water in the coastal aquaculture system

Abstract

This paper presents the application of water source components theory in combination with the MIKE11 modeling tool (1D) to simulate the transport of pathogens-carrying water components in the coastal aquaculture system of Kien Giang province. The simulation results show that pathogens-carrying water spreads at a relatively fast pace and extensively in the system. Drainage schemes have also been proposed to control and minimise the spread of diseases. The application of water source components theory provides the scientific basis to ensure the rational and sustainable design of irrigation system for coastal shrimp-farming areas.
