Black tiger, a shrimp variety found in India that once dominated the Asian aquaculture market, is getting a new lease of life.
The Rajiv Gandhi Centre for Aquaculture (RGCA), an arm of the Marine Products Export Development Authority (MPEDA), has set up a nucleus breeding center for this species in the Andamans.
In the past, black tiger shrimps dominated the market because of their fast growth, large harvest size and attractive prices.
