1 Overview of P. vannamei Culture and Broodstock Domestication in Asia David Kawahigashi Origin of P. vannamei 1

2 2010 P. vannamei Culture Current trends in Asian shrimp culture Rapidly increasing production throughout 2000 s Continued replacement of monodon by vannamei Lower cost of production; increased market price Emergence of more new diseases & increased emphasis on prevention and biosecurity measures Increased intensity (partial harvesting) Growth of inland (low salinity) shrimp farming Increasing market protectionism, trade tariffs & antibiotic residue problems Consolidation/Integration/Incorporation / of operations including contract farming Increased local domestication/selection efforts Adoption of GAP/BMPs/Certification/Traceability/ Eco-labeling with certified SPF/SPR shrimp Search for new and domestic markets 2

11 Pros and Cons of SPF/SPR and locally- selected stocks SPF/SPR Disease-free (only for pathogens tested for and at time of testing) May be genetically resistant to specific pathogens (SPR for TSV) Not resistant to any other pathogens Selected for fast growth Most suitable for biosecure systems Useful as stock for domestication programmes Usually batches are sibs and inbred Must be out-bred to maintain genetic diversity Appear expensive Locally selected May carry disease so need to screen (especially for IHHNV, WSSV & TSV etc) May not be resistant, but may develop resistance to multiple pathogens Can select for fast growth Better for non-biosecure systems Shrimp selected suitable for local environment/culture conditions Require broad founder population to prevent inbreeding Appear cheap, but currently not as valuable as SPF/R Selection options Mass selection Based only on individual performance Requires large pool of parent stocks Uses natural mating Used for standard characters (growth/disease resistance) Efficient for characteristics with high heritability rates Low cost and most common Must evaluate all shrimp in same environment High risk of inbreeding depression Not efficient for binary characteristics or those with low heritabilities Lines maintained separate and back-crossed in masal line Family/combined selection Based on pedigree of parents (full and half sibs) Can be started with fewer parent stocks Uses artificial insemination Can be applied to any desired character More efficient for characters with low heritability More expensive (rare) Can evaluate in different environments Can control inbreeding More efficient with faster gains Efficient for binary (multiple trait) characteristics Full and/or half-sib families produced and best 5% selected 11
