Introduction of exotic animals provides some degree of both benefit and risk. The risks of exotic shrimp introduction include the possible establishment of a disease in domestic or wild shrimp stocks. Suitable management approaches must be considered.

For intercontinental transfer of exotics, control methods that focus on avoidance are most common.
