Description A bacteriological study was undertaken on white spot diseased shrimp collected from
extensive, modified-extensive and semi-intensive ponds located at Visakhapatnam and East
Godavari districts of North Coastal Andhra Pradesh. The diseased shrimp exhibited white
spots and red discoloration of the body. Four species of bacteria, V. alginolyticus, V.
parahaemolyticus, V. anguillarum and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were isolated from the
hemolymph of the diseased shrimp. V. alginolyticus was found to be the most dominant
and virulent species. All the bacterial isolates showed sensitivity towards oxytetracycline
which is a commonly used antibiotic in culture ponds.
