Description Occurrence of White Spot Syndrome (WSS) was notiped in farm reared Penaeus
indicus H. Milne Edwards of size group 110- 150 mm at Munambam, Cochin in
January 1997. The affected prawns showed symptoms, similar to those reported
in P. monodon, such as sluggish movements, absence of feeding, escape reactions,
reddish discolouration, white spots on cephalothorax and abdomen and loss of part
of one or both the antennae. Histopathology of hindgut from the affected P. indicus
revealed the presence of inclusion bodies.
