This technical disclosure describes improvements that would be readily apparent to a Person Having Ordinary Skill In The Art (PHOSITA) when considered in combination with the foundational architecture disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 11,856,971.

Background and Problem Solved

The original patent disclosed a method for improving immunity in shrimps using an extract of cocoa rind. However, the original method had limitations, such as potential variability in the extract's composition and bioavailability. The new inventions address these limitations by introducing customized blends, encapsulation, and integrated systems that enhance the immunity of shrimps more effectively.

Novelty and Inventive Step

The new inventions introduce novel combinations and configurations that are not obvious from the original patent. The customized blends, encapsulated forms, and integrated systems provide a significant improvement over the original method, demonstrating a clear inventive step.

Alternative Embodiments and Variations

Alternative embodiments could include using different types of probiotics or prebiotics, varying the ratio of cocoa rind extract to other components, or incorporating additional nutrients or supplements. Variations could also include using different administration routes, such as topical application or injection, or developing specific formulations for different shrimp species or life stages.

Potential Commercial Applications and Market

The new inventions have significant commercial potential in the aquaculture industry, where disease prevention and immunity enhancement are critical for sustainable and profitable shrimp farming. The integrated systems and customized blends could be marketed as premium products, offering a competitive advantage to shrimp farmers and improving overall industry efficiency.
