Data for: Dataset of WSD affected shrimp farmers disaggregated by the variables of farm site, environment, disease history, operational practices, and saline zones

Contrivance of data-set Among the aquaculture species, shrimp are more vulnerable to disease specifially White Spot Disease (WSD) with complete loss of the production comparing with the other disease of crustaceans as well as of fin fish. In case of crustacean aquaculture, only the Asian shrimp farming sector have to lose USD 20 billion in last year with the lion share of Bangladesh from WSD (Davies, 2019). With the both chance of vertical and horizontal transmission of White Spot Syndrome Virus (WSSV), there is no rewarding treatment for vertical transmission where the horizontal transmission can be mitigated by taking some kind of management measures within the farming practice. Performing an in-depth digging of the literature the variables of this data-set was set which can be analyzed and make a perceive measures about the shrimp farming system and practices in Bangladesh and address the gap between describing existing practices and identifying potential WSD risk reduction practices. Potentials of the data-set This data-set can be screened by some short of statistical analysis to attain the notions of bio-security and develop relevant guidelines concerning available and easily adopted culture strategies for marginal farmers unpacking the risk factors related to WSD prevalence in shrimp farming.
