Body Curvature / Cramping
Body Curvature / Cramping — Caused by thermal shock (sudden temperature change > 3°C), mineral deficiency (Ca, Mg, K), nervous system infection, or mechanical stress (rough netting/handling).
Symptoms
Shrimp curved in U or C shape, twitching, spinning swim, unable to straighten. Often accompanied by muscle opacity.
Risk Level
Curved shrimp rarely recover shape. Mortality depends on cause — thermal shock can kill within 6-12h.
Treatment Protocol
1. Stabilize pond temperature (cover, increase water level).
2. Emergency mineral supplement: GROWMIN, MIXBOOM.
3. Reduce stress: VIMIX, CANFORTA.
4. No netting, no sudden water changes.
5. Add CALPHOS GRO to feed.
