• The increasing use of antibiotics in aquaculture due to the growing prevalence of bacterial disease is projected to restrict market growth. The governments of developed countries are taking measures to ban the export and import of fish and shrimp from countries that use antibiotics in fish farms. For instance, the EU has returned more than 30 containers of shrimp exported from India due to the presence of antibiotics. Similarly, the US FDA also rejected shrimp shipments from the country due to the presence of dangerous levels of antibiotics.
• An outbreak of disease across major markets is disrupting the production and supply of seafood. For example, in China, shrimp production decreased owing to an outbreak of diseases caused by as a typhoon in 2017, which flooded shrimp farms in the country, thereby pushing it to import shrimp. This factor is projected to hamper market growth to some extent.

Covid-19 Impact

The demand for feed and feed additives for aquaculture species, including fish and shrimp, is expected to grow as commercial aquaculture production rises. A study conducted in Iran evaluated the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on the shrimp farming industry. The results showed a reduction in the price of shrimp due to the pandemic. The pandemic has also raised concerns about seafood safety and human health. However, the high nutritional content of fish, including fish oil, vitamins, and minerals, may have potential benefits in COVID-19 therapy and strengthening immunity. The global impacts of COVID-19 are already being felt in the fish feed additive and shrimp feed additive market, and it is expected to significantly affect the industry. The COVID-19 crisis in the aquaculture industry may also lead to improvements in shrimp farming practices.
