Abstract

This Order, consisting of 9 sections, establishes the requirements for importation and breed the broodstock and post-larvae of Specific Pathogen Free/Specific Pathogen Resistant (SPF/SPR) Black Tiger Shrimp, Penaeus monodon and breed related offspring. The worldwide development of Black Tiger Shrimp (Penaeus monodon) broodstock and postlarvae families in established biosecured facilities demonstrated high productivity, profitability and low susceptibility to diseases. The existing ban on the import and breeding of the said species as imposed by Fisheries Administrative Order FAO 207 of 2001 lifted under certain specific conditions and guidelines of RA 8550. The import and breeding of Peneaus monodon shall be subject to the following conditions: a) Import shall be limited only to broodstock and post-larvae shrimps; b) All imports must be certified as Specific Pathogen Free/Specific Pathogen Resistant (SPF/SPR) by the competent authority of the originating country; c) Only shrimp hatcheries accredited by the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) shall be allowed to import SPF or SPR Penaeus monodon broodstock and postlarvae.
