The
Aquatic
Quarantine
Facility
(AQF)
for
L.
vannamei
is
a
state-of-the-art
facility
created
by
RGCA,
at
the
behest
of
Ministry
of
Agriculture
for
quarantining
the
L.
vannamei
broodstock
imported
to
India.
This
facility,
located
at
Neelankarai,
Chennai
is
one
of
its
kind
in
the
world
and
conforms
to
all
the
international
quality
standards
required
for
an
Aquatic
Quarantine
for
the
introduction
of
the
non
native
American
white
shrimp
L.
vannamei
to
India.
The
AQF
was
set
into
operation
in
2009
and
its
establishment
has
facilitated
the
popularization
of
vannamei
farming
in
India,
which
has
subsequently
resulted
in
increased
shrimp
production
and
contributed
to
the
export
revenue
of
the
country.
The
main
focus
of
this
quarantine
centre
is
to
facilitate
a
regulated
mode
of
introduction
of
non
native
L.
vannamei
into
India
inorder
to
sustain
the
Shrimp
Farming
Industry
in
the
country.
