Abstract
A review of present practices followed in live transportation of cold-anaesthetised
penaeid shrimps is attempted in this paper. Live transportation is used as a means to enhance
the unit value of the marketed shrimp. Japanese Kuruma shrimp Penaeus japonicus has been
found amenable to this practice. Several countries such as Taiwan, Korea, China and recently
Australia established a sizeable market for Kuruma shrimp transported alive to Japan, after
cold-anaesthetisation. Research on live transportation of other shrimp species such as Penaeus
monodon has shown encouraging result.
