Management agencies under the National Fisheries Quality Assurance Veterinary Directorate (Nafiqaved) have quarantined all breeding shrimps imported through border gates in 2007 nationwide.
The total included 4.7 million breeding blacktiger shrimps, 124,000 mother blacktiger shrimps, 8,589 mother white-legged shrimps and about 300 fries. The Nafiqaved also tightened hygiene and veterinary examination in all breeding and aqua-culture farms.
