The Department of Agriculture is all set to amend Fisheries Administrative Order No. 207 which prohibits the importation and culture of live shrimps and prawns at all stages, effectively lifting the ban on the importation of the pacific white shrimp or Peneaus vannamei broodstocks and the culture of this exotic shrimp in the country. 


The decision for the lifting of the ban came about after encouraging reports and field verification of the successful conduct of breeding and grow-out experiments on the exotic shrimp by the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources.
