Shrimp is the most important commodity, by value, in the
international seafood trade. The shrimp industry has grown
exponentially in the last decades, and growth is expected to
continue for years to come. For future success in the shrimp
industry, shrimp farmers and aquaculture scientists will find a
thorough knowledge of the economics, market, and trade as important
as an understanding of disease management or husbandry.

Shrimp Culture: Economics, Market, and Trade brings
together recent findings of researchers from around the world
working in various aspects of the economics of shrimp farming. This
volume covers all major aspects of the economics, trade, and
markets for shrimp worldwide, with chapters written by experts from
major consuming countries such as the U.S.A. and major providers
such as China, Thailand and Brazil. The book has been carefully
edited by PingSun Leung and Carole Engle, both well known and
respected internationally for their work in this area.

Shrimp Culture is an essential purchase for everyone
involved in this massive industry across the globe.
