Alcivar-Warren, A., 2000. Heavy Metals, PCBs And PAHs In Penaeus monodon Shrimp From The Philippines: Indicators Of Environmental Contaminants Exposure These preliminary findings provide baseline information for developing a larger database on a wide range of environmental pollutants in shrimp. The data suggest the need to implement a more integrated and holistic approach to environmental issues in order to maintain a healthy marine ecosystem, conserve penaeid shrimp biodiversity and maintain a sustainable shrimp aquaculture industry. Marine shrimp should be used as a species indicator of environmental contaminant exposure. Monitoring total pollutant load in both shrimp tissues and sea water will be useful for assesing their potential risk to both animal and public health.
Belak, J., 2000. Prevalence Of Viral Diseases (IHHNV And WSSV) In Penaeus monodon From The Philippines And Its Association With Mangrove Status And Shrimp Culture Systems The presence of IHHNV in shrimp from the most pristine site of Palawan suggests the need to regulate both the movement of live shrimp between and within regions. Implementation of strict national and international regulations controlling the movement of live or frozen shrimp within and among countries (and continents) will help to protect wild populations, preserve the health of marine ecosystems and maintain a sustainable shrimp aquaculture industry.

Zhenkang, X., 2000. Genetic Differentiation Of Penaeus monodon Shrimp In Four Geographic Regions Representing Different Mangrove Habitats And Shrimp Culture Systems In The Philippines The results suggest that the accidental or intentional release of cultured stocks (potentially inbred or disease susceptible) may have negative effects on the fitness of the wild population either through interbreeding with or displacement of wild populations. Future risk assessments should be based on a large number of cultured stocks with well-documented pedigrees, as well as using a larger number of wild stocks and genetic markers. Preventing the further loss of mangroves, developing baseline information on the structure of the natural populations, and monitoring the intentional and accidental release of cultured shrimp are three key strategies for the conservation of wild shrimp populations.
