Hany revealed that the PKM-RE that was raised was the Potential of Hepatopancreatic Bacteriophage and Mangrove Litter as a Technological Innovation to Control Acute Hepatopancreatic Necrosis Disease, the Cause of Total Death of Litopenaeus Vannamei.
This research was motivated by the problem of many Vannamei Shrimp being attacked by AHPND (Acute Hepatopancreatic Necrosis Disease) or commonly called EMS (Early Mortality Syndrome) with a mortality percentage of 100 percent.
