Abstract
Aquaculture is the worldâ s fastest growing food-production sector, providing protein rich supplement to human beings. Global total production of fish, crustaceans and molluscs has continued to increase and reached 140 million tonnes in 2007. While capture production has stayed around 90 million tonnes since 2001, aquaculture production has continued to show strong growth, increasing at an average annual growth rate of 6.5% from 36.8 million tonnes in 2002 to 50.3 million tonnes in 2007 (FAO, 2009). The value of world aquaculture production was USD 87 billion in 2007 (FAO, 2009). Shrimp continues to be the most important commodity traded in value terms, accounting for 15.4% of the total value of internationally traded fish products in 2007 (FAO 2009). The worldâ s production of shrimp, captured and fanned, is approximately 6 million tonnes, about 60% of which is traded internationally. The worldâ s main shrimp producing country is China with 2.7 million mt, followed by Indonesia, India and Thailand
