Apparently this disease can cripple a nation’s economy that is highly dependent on shrimp farming in as little as a week if the disease is allowed to spread. WSSV has low host specificity and can infect a large number of crustaceans. This paper illustrates several ecological ways of preventing WSSV outbreak.

Abstract: |
White spot syndrome virus is the most important among the shrimp diseases. It has been devastating the shrimp industry for more than 3 decades. Previous studies reported that greater percentage of yellow colonies on thiosulfate citrate bile salt sucrose agar (yellow vibrios) in the rearing water, abundant supply of natural food such as Chlorella, and the use of the greenwater technology (GW) are some ecological ways of preventing WSSV outbreak. The aim of this study was to investigate the efficiency of the 3 systems against WSSV. |

Rational antibiotic usage important in controlling infections in shrimps.

I suspect the growing period of shrimp is so rapid that there would not be many occasions where use of medicines could meet the withholding period guidelines.
