Dataset on India’s imports of Penaeus vannamei brooders from the United States
Description
Dataset includes the imports of SPF P. vannamei brooders from the United States and other (non-U.S.) countries to India over a period of 16 years. The historical dataset comprises of the quantity of brooders imported by India from various sources. Shrimp stocks supplied from empanelled broodstock centers, including Shrimp Improvement Systems (Florida), Shrimp Improvement Systems (Hawaii), American Penaeid (Florida), BenchMark Genetics (Florida), Syaqua Pvt. Ltd. (Florida), Kona Bay Marine Resources (Hawaii), Molokkai Broodstock Company (Florida), Sea Products (later rebranded as Blue Genetics, Texas), and the Oceanic Institute (Hawaii), are categorized under imports from the USA. In contrast, stocks supplied by Shrimp Improvement Systems (Singapore), Blue Genetics (Mexico), Global Gen (Indonesia), Vannamei 101 (Thailand), Syaqua Siam (Thailand), and CP Foods Pvt. Ltd. (Thailand) fall under imports from other countries. Notably, imports from Southeast Asian countries have been banned in India since 2013. hence, the data from these regions (specifically Thailand-based suppliers) are only included for the years 2009 to 2013. Data was directly obtained from the AQF, established by the Marine Products Export Development Authority (MPEDA) under the Government of India.

Data was directly obtained from the AQF, established by the Marine Products Export Development Authority (MPEDA) under the Government of India. The AQF plays a vital role in mitigating the risks associated with the introduction of P. vannamei. As stated in the Indian Government Gazette , Chennai International Airport is designated as the sole authorized port of entry for shrimp broodstock in India. Additionally, all P. vannamei stocks imported by Indian hatcheries from approved overseas broodstock suppliers must receive certification for their specific pathogen-free (SPF) status from the AQF before being released to the hatcheries. The diseases tested during quarantine include both WOAH-listed [4] and non-listed pathogens. To compile the dataset, broodstocks imported from various countries were systematically enumerated and documented. Mortalities occurring during transit or quarantine were not included in the data; only the total quantity imported over a period of 16 years was considered. The yearly imports were subjected to one-way ANOVA (Table 3) followed by Tukey’s multiple comparison test to assess statistical significance. Data analysis was performed using GraphPad Prism version 10.1.0.
