Question

A shrimp hatchery manager notices unusually high mortality among post-larvae in one of his rearing tanks, along with lethargic behaviour, reduced feeding and a whitish discolouration of the shell in affected shrimp.

Which of the following viral diseases of farmed shrimp matches this description?

A Vibriosis
B Black gill disease
C White Spot Syndrome
