In 2006, the world's shrimp farmers struggled with tariffs, antibiotic checks, transshipments, traceability, certification--and low shrimp prices. Yet production appears to be expanding almost everywhere. I say appears because no one knows about these things. Good statistics on world shrimp farming do not exist. The best sources of information on world production of farmed shrimp are the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations, which reports two years after the fact, and the Global Aquaculture Alliance (http://www.gaalliance.org), which releases survey data on world shrimp farming at an annual conference.
Farmed shrimp has become a commodity. It fills the seafood cabinets of supermarkets in Japan, the European Union and the United States. That shrimp you eat when you go out to a restaurant? Most of it grew up on a farm. Penaeus vannamei, the western white shrimp, native to the Pacific coast of the Western Hemisphere from Mexico to Peru, has become the most popular farmed species almost everywhere in the world.
In the Eastern Hemisphere, China, Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam produce around 300,000 metric tons of farm-raised shrimp a year. Bangladesh, Malaysia and India have big industries. The Philippines hopes to reinvigorate its industry with the culture of the western white shrimp. In the East, the power lies with the feed companies, the hatcheries, the equipment companies, the suppliers and the processors. Hundreds of thousands of small farms produce the majority of the crop.
In the Western Hemisphere, Ecuador, Peru and Panama have recovered from the whitespot epidemic of the early 1990s and will probably have their best production years ever in 2006. Brazil is having a good year. Northwest Mexico continues to produce more and more farmed shrimp. In the West, the power lies with the large integrated operations, those with feed mills, hatcheries, large farms, processing plants and good marketing. The hatchery and farm play a central role in the West.
World Shrimp Farming 2006 begins with a special section on a new shrimp farming technology that promises to revolutionize shrimp farming.
