We have developed a size-structured population model to assess the growth and development of shrimp populations in both healthy and viral infectious stages. Of major interest is the determination of the sensitivity of solutions of the model with respect to the growth rate, mortality rate, and infection rate of the shrimp. As part of this effort we report on both theoretical and computational findings for the well-known basic Sinko-Streifer population model.
