![]() Commercially acceptable biosecure culture systems that are under cover and use recirculated sea water will need to be developed for shrimp production. Specific pathogen-free shrimp are those that are known to be free of specified pathogens and such stocks will ensure that seed shrimp are not the conduit for introduction of pathogens and that if pathogens are encountered the stocks will not be severely affected. ![]() To overcome these hazards, the industry of the future must be based on: (i) specific pathogen-free and genetically improved shrimp stocks (ii) biosecure systems including enclosed, reduced water-exchange/increased water-reuse culture systems (iii) biosecure management practices and (iv) co-operative industry-wide disease control strategies. ![]() The greatest threat to the future of world shrimp aquaculture is disease, in particular the virulent untreatable viruses, infectious hypodermal and haematopoietic necrosis virus (IHHNV), taura syndrome virus (TSV), yellow head virus (YHV), and white spot syndrome virus (WSSV). ![]()
