This report suggests a number of criteria that would improve the environmental sustainability of the industry. Environmental impacts such as mangrove conversion, seed bycatch, introduction of alien species and diseases, water use, supplementary feeding, nutrient loading, and chemical and antibiotic use are analysed with the ambition to ameliorate some of the environmental concerns. Two types of production systems that would rank high in terms of environmental sustainability are identified (i) extensive, integrated systems that have been practised for hundreds of years in some locations; and (ii) intensive, "closed", systems that enables the farmer to better control the farming environment. The advantages as well as drawbacks with these systems are reviewed in detail. At present these systems contribute only marginally to global shrimp aquaculture output, although this may change given adequate regulations and financial incentives. It must, however, be emphasised that in the foreseeable future shrimp aquaculture will continue to constitute a net loss to global seafood production.
