Towards sustainable shrimp culture in Thailand and the region

Shrimp farming expanded rapidly in Thailand and other countries in Asia in the early 1990s, but productivity plateaued and then went into decline. ACIAR funded a project and an associated workshop. The program covered many aspects of shrimp farming, such as farmer issues in Thailand and Australia; research issues in the Asia-Pacific Region; shrimp diseases and health management; environmental management and integration into coastal zone planning; social impacts, economics and trade.
