Introductions and movement of Penaeus vannamei and Penaeus stylirostris in Asia and the Pacific
Both Penaeus vannamei and Penaeus stylirostris originate on the western Pacific coast of Latin America. They were introduced in the early 1970s to the Pacific Islands, where research was conducted into breeding and their potential for aquaculture. Beginning in 1996, P. vannamei was introduced into Asia on a commercial scale. The main reason behind the importation was the perceived poor performance, slow growth rate and disease susceptibility of the major indigenous cultured shrimp species, P. ch inensis in China and P. monodon elsewhere in Asia. However, there remain many unanswered questions regarding the possible effects of introduced species. This report has attempted to gather all the currently available data on the extent of P. vannamei and P. stylirostris importation and culture in Asia, their advantages and disadvantages and potential problems. It offers recommendations, for both governments and the private sector, aimed at controlling the importation, testing and culture of thes e species.
