Shrimps are subject to great consumer demand in the United States.
However, more than #1 billion worth of shrimp is now imported; more
than twice the amount produced domestically. Domestic shrimp
production, mostly from the trawler fleet in the Gulf of Mexico, is
thought to be at its maximum sustainable yield of 91,000 MT
(heads-off). Increased production of shrimp in the U.S. through
mariculture has been motivated by the increasing demand for this
product.
The biology of penaeid shrimp and lack of technology for their
culture present special problems in fisheries science, reproductive
biology, endocrinology, nutrition, pathology, culture science and
future research. The purpose of the Frontiers of Shrimp Research
symposium was to assess the status of shrimp research in these
areas and to further foster the scientific collaboration vital for
significant research advances. The participants included
representatives of the science funding agencies, the mariculture
industry and representatives of both the scientific research and
science policy communities.
The subject matter should be of interest to a variety of readers.
Advanced undergraduate/graduate students, mariculturists and
research workers will find this volume both interesting and
informative.
