An unconfirmed disease has caused the dying out of shrimps in at least one shrimp farm pond in the South.  When we broke the story on Wednesday, BAHA officials were already on the ground quarantining the pond of the first farm affected to ensure that the unnamed disease does not spread. Most of the country’s shrimp farms are located in the Southern part of the country and situated between Riversdale and Monkey River area. As recently as yesterday, Plus news received credible information that a second shrimp pond is experiencing the same situation. Today we spoke to Dr. Miguel Depaz, the Director of Animal Health from BAHA who briefed us on the situation.
