P. monodon and M. rosenbergii

Monodon India
Scope /
P. monodon production has been dependent on wild caught broodstock which were prone to disease and which had unfavourable growth rates compared to domesticated L. vannamei shrimp. However, today, some companies have managed to domesticate P. monodon in such a way that it now produces more disease resistant and faster growing animals than wild-caught broodstock. These companies are about to revitalise P. monodon production in Asia, and beyond.

Due to the competitive advantage of L. vannamei shrimp in intensive production systems, today most of the P. monodon that is still produced comes from extensive production systems. However, with improved genetics now available, P. monodon might become a viable alternative for semi-intensive farmers who need to have a plan B when they cannot compete in the global L. vannamei market. But if production increases, is the market ready to absorb it?
