Microbiome dataset analysis from a shrimp pond in Ninh Thuan, Vietnam using shotgun metagenomics.

ABSTRACT: Vietnam is one of the top shrimp producing and exporting countries in the world [1]. However, viral and bacterial epidemic diseases cause severe damages to shrimp farming, resulting in millions of US dollars losses annually [2]. Furthermore, inappropriate use of antibiotics in shrimp rearing lead to increased emergence of drug resistant pathogens [3]. Current practices for water quality control, mostly based on chemical and physical parameters; neglected biological criteria necessary for maintaining pond health. Ninh Thuan is a region situated in the South Central Coast of Vietnam. Due to its geographic location, a large part of this region is dedicated to shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) post-larvae production and rearing. This article presents a microbiome dataset from two water samp
