Education and good management are essential. Stakeholders like hatcheries and farmers must be educated about disease and measures needed to control/prevent introduction of diseased animals into the system. The production chains are linked. Problem in the upstream will surely affect the downstream. Both vannamei and monodon are susceptible to viruses. There is a lot of confusion about SPF. The moment, SPF animals leave the facility, it becomes high health animals but loses its SPF status ie supposedly free from virus. Some SPF animals are also not virus free. However, proper management (good screening facility) and good farming practices should ensure crop success. Country like Brunei is investing heavily into monodon domestication with a vision to be Hawaii of Asia because the road forward is supply, production and management of virus free animals for the industry. <BR/><BR/>Biotechman (biotechman66@hotmail.com)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
