Asia is the major supplier of black tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon) to the world seafood market. The majority of Asian shrimp farmers are small-scale holders operating low input and low output farming systems. Disease is regarded as the major bottleneck for successful and sustainable shrimp farming in many parts of Asia. White spot disease (WSD) caused by white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) alone has been responsible for significant social and economic damage to the shrimp farming sector since 1993, and is a major source of risk to the livelihoods of small-scale farmers investing in shrimp farming. Addressing shrimp disease risks among these stakeholders is essential, but much ignored requirement, to sustain the livelihoods of small-scale farming communities in many of Asia's coastal regions. In India, a new initiative on shrimp disease control was started in 2000 by the Marine Products Export Development Authority (MPEDA), Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Government of India with technical assistance from the Network of Aquaculture Centres in Asia-Pacific (NACA). This article describes the main activities and outcomes from this 3-year "Shrimp disease control and coastal management" program..
