Retrospective analysis of ten year import data of Pacific white shrimp brooders to India

The Pacific white shrimp, Penaeus vannamei is an exotic shrimp species cultured in India and a predominant item in the Indian export basket. Commercial culture of P. vannamei was introduced in India, in the year 2009 with the establishment of a dedicated Centralized Shrimp Quarantine unit, called the Aquatic Quarantine Facility (AQF). The role of this facility is to quarantine the specific pathogen free (SPF) shrimp brooders imported by the shrimp hatcheries in the country from empanelled overseas broodstock suppliers. The dataset provided in the article is on the shrimp imports into the country during each quarter period, in the span of last ten years. Imports by different broodstock suppliers recorded during the ten year period are furnished. The data can be utilized for modelling sustainable vannamei farming in the country without compromising loss in shrimp production and export revenue.

太平洋白虾（Penaeus vannamei），作为一种外来虾种，在印度进行养殖，并成为印度出口篮子中的主要商品。2009年，随着专门化的集中虾类检疫单位的建立，即水生检疫设施（Aquatic Quarantine Facility，简称AQF），商业化的P. vannamei养殖技术在印度得到引入。该设施的主要职能是对由国内虾苗养殖场从海外筛选的亲本供应商进口的特定病原体清除（Specific Pathogen Free，简称SPF）的虾种进行检疫。文章中提供的数据集涉及过去十年内每个季度期间对虾的进口情况，并记录了十年期间不同亲本供应商的进口数据。这些数据可用于构建在不牺牲虾类生产和出口收入的前提下，该国的可持续vannamei养殖模型。
