“…As it is well known, in the extensive coastal areas naturally inhabited by P. schmitti, hundreds of shrimp farms cultivating P. vannamei operate. There are numerous reports of the presence of P. vannamei in natural areas where it is considered an exotic species, from Brazil (Santos & Coelho, 2002;Barbieri & Melo, 2006;Loebmann et al, 2010;Barbieri et al, 2016b), USA (Balboa et al, 1991), Mexico (Wakida-Kusunoki et al, 2011), Thailand (Senanan et al, 2007) and others. Also, this species is marketed as live bait in northeastern Brazil (Leão et al, 2011), so there is a permanent risk of its dissemination in the natural environment.…”

To compare the zootechnical performance of the Brazilian native shrimp Penaeus schmitti and the exotic shrimp Penaeus vannamei, juveniles were grown under controlled conditions. Both species were simultaneously cultivated (monoculture) in separate 70 L plastic tanks at two different densities: 30 and 50 ind m-2. Also, in the other two treatments, both species were cultivated together (mixed), with and without feeding, at 30 ind m-2. During the experiment, P. vannamei generally showed a greater interest in food and voracity than P. schmitti. At harvest, for both stocking densities of monoculture treatments, the mean growth rate observed for P. vannamei was 1.0 g week-1, while P. schmitti achieved only 0.1 g week-1. The mean final weight was 10.4 ± 2.0 g; 10.7 ± 2.1 g for P. vannamei and 2.8 ± 0.3 g; 3.2 ± 0.3 g for P. schmitti, for respective densities of 50 and 30 ind m-2. In the mixed treatment with feeding, while P. vannamei reached 11.9 ± 1.4 g, P. schmitti reached only 2.6 ± 0.4 g in the same tank. The observed differences were 3.7 and 3.4 higher in favor of P. vannamei in the monoculture treatment, and up 4.5 times higher in the mixed treatment. Under strict fasting conditions, both species practiced predation/cannibalism among themselves. The results reflected the zootechnical advantages of P. vannamei, but also corroborated the negative effect that high densities and lack of natural food can exert over native species. The potential for P. schmitti cultivation and the possible impact of the escape of P. vannamei into the natural environment is discussed.

“…Shrimp farms now produce approximately 50% of global penaeid shrimp output (Moss et al, 2006). Higher growth rate of the Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) has led to its replacement of the native shrimp as the most important farmed penaeid shrimp species globally (Alcivar-Warren et al, 2007;Wakida-Kusunoki et al, 2011). However, L. vannamei is easily affected by multiple factors, particularly emerging bacterial and viral pathogens that are reported to be responsible for 60% and 20% shrimp damage globally, respectively (Flegel et al, 2008;Liu et al, 2009).…”

“…Every year tons of penaeid shrimps are traded from this lake, nevertheless, due to several anthropogenic threats, the native population are frequently affected by diseases and loss the economic value (Rath and Dev Roy 2009). Furthermore, owing to the expanding distributions of shrimps in marine eco-system, invasive species often invade the indigenous species eco-system and possess competition in the same niche (Wakida-Kusunoki et al 2011). The morphologybased species identification and estimates of the diversity of penaeid shrimps, is difficult because of their morphological variations in different life stages, phenotypic plasticity and sexual dimorphism (PrasannaKumar et al 2012).…”

Chilika Lake is one of the prolific habitats of shrimps in India and offers tons of commercial trading every year. The genetic diversity of penaeid shrimp species in this oldest and largest brackish water lagoon is unknown so far. The DNA barcoding is emerging as an essential supportive tool for morphology-based species identification. In this study, we have generated DNA barcode data of morphologically identified six penaeid shrimps from Chilika Lake. Most of the generated sequences revealed 99-100% similarities with the conspecific database sequences (GenBank and BOLD). More than one distinct clade in NJ tree and high-genetic variability were resulted in P. monodon (6.5% to 8.8%), L. vannamei (3.2% to 5.8%) and M. monoceros (2.3% to 3.5%). The resulted genetic variation within the species depicted different population correlate with the different sampling locations. Thus, more extensive survey and generation of more DNA barcode data of penaeid shrimp from the diverse geographical area might resolve the uncertain genetic distance within the species.
