Shrimps are farmed under strict biosecurity conditions and have passed SPF certification from the Aquaculture Pathology Laboratory and the Central Aquaculture Pathology Laboratory at the University of Arizona, USA, and the shrimp has adapted to the weather and environmental conditions in India.
MPA will have a mortality rate of less than 2% during the transport of these shrimp seedlings.
