The total amount of crustaceans, mainly the decapods, from fishery and
culture consist a serious part of the global fisheries and aquaculture production. Richest
and poorest countries are included between the top ten shrimp-producing countries in
the world. The management of some shrimp fisheries is effectually carried out and
provides the potential profits of fisheries’ management. Several problems are
connected with shrimps culture, like the increasing demand for this seafood, growing
number of unfamiliar diseases, a narrow capability to front the several diseases,
inadequate post-harvest treatment of “wild” organisms and an increasing legislative
charge regarding the marketing of live animals, indicating a clear warning for the
future sustainability of this cultivation.
