Aquabeats emerges as the ultimate solution for aqua farmers, revolutionizing the industry by combating the significant threat posed by the White Spot Syndrome Virus (WSSV). This lethal disease puts the survivability of juvenile shrimp at risk, causing rapid mortality rates. WSSV easily spreads among shrimp populations, leading to visible symptoms such as white spots on the carapace and appendages. Within a span of just 3-10 days, it can result in a devastating 100% mortality rate.

Aquabeats offers an empowering approach to protect shrimp populations from WSSV. By implementing strict biosecurity measures, ensuring thorough equipment disinfection, and implementing effective quarantine measures, Aquabeats maximizes the productivity of shrimp farms while preserving the health and well-being of the crustaceans.

 

Symptoms:

Discover the telltale signs of the WSSD Viral Disease: internal, external, and behavioural symptoms.

 

 

Internal Symptoms	Empty stomach Necrosis of gut epithelium Hepatopancreatic lesions Hypertrophy of hepatopancreas Hepatopancreas turn yellow Necrosis of heart muscle Heart muscle damage
External Symptoms	Antennae Cut Antennule Cut Red/ pink coloration of chelated legs Red/Pink colouration of walking legs Pink colouration of pleopods Reddening of Uropods Necrosis of eye stalk White spot (rosette like) on carapace Loose shell with space between shell and muscle Reddening/pinkish appearance of body as a whole Redness of cephalothorax Gill necrosis Darkened Gills
Behavioural Symptoms	Erratic /Abnormal swimming Slow swimming Swimming on sides swimming near water surface Gathering around the edges  Reduced feeding

Prevention:

Preventing WSSV involves a combination of strategies, such as:

• Regularly monitoring shrimp health and water quality.
• Using disease-free broodstock and post larvae.
• Implementing biosecurity measures to limit the spread of viruses.
• Properly disinfecting ponds before stocking.

 

Management:

Unfortunately, there's currently no effective treatment for WSSV once an outbreak occurs. Hence, management strategies mainly focus on minimizing losses, such as:

• Immediate harvest of surviving shrimps upon detection of the virus.
• Total draining and disinfection of affected ponds.
• Proper disposal of dead shrimps to prevent the virus from spreading.

 

Remember, early detection and strict biosecurity measures are key to preventing and managing WSSD outbreaks. Revolutionizing aquaculture with advanced technology, Aquabeats Labs effortlessly detects 13 pathogens in just one test. 

Through innovative approaches and cutting-edge technologies, Aquabeats ensures a sustainable and thriving aquaculture industry, safeguarding the livelihoods of aqua farmers around the world.
