Indian shrimp aquaculture production has grown significantly in recent years and is expected to surpass China as the world's largest producer. Production has increased to over 426,000 metric tons in 2014-15, up 30% from the previous year, driven primarily by the introduction and widespread adoption of the exotic whiteleg shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei. Key challenges include improving farm productivity and profitability through better disease management and control, ensuring a sustainable supply of high quality broodstock, and maintaining strict compliance with food safety and residue standards for export markets. Future strategies focus on species diversification, development of captive broodstock programs, adoption of biosecurity measures, and comprehensive health management.

2. introduction
Shrimp farming was synonymous with the monoculture of tiger shrimp, penaeus monodon.
About 1,90,000 ha brackish water area have been developed for shrimp culture in the country.
 Since 1995 culture of P.monodon is affected by White Spot Syndrome virus (WSSV) and
the development of shrimp farming has been stagnant.
 Most of the South East Asian countries like Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia were also culture
P.monodon & since 2001-2002 onward most of them have shifted to culture of exotic whiteleg
shrimp, Litopenous vannamei because of availability of SPF & SPR brood stock in India.
 In India, pilot scale production of L.vannamei was initiated in 2003.

3. Global view of shrimp culture
Expected to reach 4.5 – 4.75MMT IN 2018-2019

4. GLOBAL SHRIMP PRODUCTION TREDS
Vannamei accounts for over 75% of Global shrimp production & about 70% of
Asian shrimp production.
Expected to reach 4.5MMT in 2018-2019 from the current level of about
3.75MMT.
Growth areas:-
Americas – Lead by Ecuador
Asia – Lead by India – China production is flat

13. SeedProduction Details (billions)

14. Brood-stock import details

15. Indian Shrimp Production Vs Boord-stock imports

16. Challenges in seed production:
• Zoea to Mysis to PL conversion problems – causes not fully understood – bacterial loads
suspected as culprit
• Live feeds in maturation causing infections (EHP) – Have to find alternates
• Adequate supply of quality brood-stock
Regulatory mechanisms:
• Mandatory registration with Government Authority(CAA)
• Mandatory routine inspections on protocols by authorities(MPEDA)
• Routine random sample testing conducted by regulatory authorities (EIA)

17. Newtrends in hatcheries
 Quick nauplii stocking of the entire hatchery to avoid conversion problems.
 Complete shut down and THROUGH disinfection of the entire hatchery
operations after every cycle IS GIVING GOOD RESULTS.
 Pasteurized live feeds for maturation working very well BUT NOT ALL.
 Formulated feeds for maturation being tried.

18. Shrimp production in india
 India’s cultured shrimp production in FY 2014-15 (April-March) was about 426,500 MT, up 30
percent from the previous year (Figure 1). From FY 2004-05 to FY 2014-15, shrimp production
has grown at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13 percent.
 The introduction of white leg shrimp (Litopenaeus Vannamei, or Vannamei) in 2009 spurred
growth in shrimp production during the last few years and displaced sales of the other major
shrimp species, tiger shrimp (Penaeus Monodon). Farming of tiger shrimp declined once it was
found to be susceptible to disease. In FY 2014-15, the production of white leg shrimp
(Vannamei) rose to around 353,000 MT, which was 81% of the total shrimp production in
India.
 The Vannamei species is preferred due to its superior traits such as fast growth rate, disease
resistance, lower feed requirements, and higher survival rate. In FY 2014-15, the area under
shrimp production in brackish water aquaculture was 121,600 hectares, which was up from
102,500 hectares in 2009-10.

19. Con.......
 Industry sources indicate that shrimp production accounts for 25% of the brackish water
aquaculture. Similarly, the wild production of Penaeid and Non-Penaeid prawns was
around 450,000 MT in FY 2014-15 according to industry sources.
 The major marine wild species of prawns and shrimp are White Prawn (Penaeus Indicus),
Tiger Prawn (Penaeus Mondon), Pink Shrimp (Metapenaeus Dobsoni), King Prawn
(Metapenaeus Affinis), and Marine Shrimp (Paraenaeopsis Stylifera). Cultured shrimp has
generally been favored for growth over wild shrimp.
 Indian Shrimp Farming – Overview
 153,000 HA under scientific shrimp farming.
 40-50,000 HA under traditional shrimp farming.
 Potential area 11,90,000 HA.
 > 95% Vannamei.
