Abstract | New, virulent viruses have been documented in foreign shrimp aquaculture, and evidence suggests that these viruses could cause widespread disease in shrimp raised in aquaculture and in wild shrimp in the Gulf of Mexico and southeastern Atlantic coastal regions. To assess the risks associated with these emerging viral pathogens, the Joint Subcommittee on Aquaculture (JSA), which is under the auspices of the President's Office of Science and Technology Policy, formed the interagency Shrimp Virus Work Group. On June 5, 1997, the Work Group sumitted a report to the JSA entitled An Evaluation of Potential Shrimp Virus Impacts on Cultured Shrimp and Wild Shrimp Populations in the Gulf of Mexico and Southeastern U.S. Atlantic Coastal Waters (Shrimp Virus report). During July 1997, the EPA's National Center for Environmental Assessment (NCEA), in cooperation with the JSA, sponsored a series of public meetings to gather stakeholder input on the shrimp virus issue. This report contains the minutes of those stakeholder meetings and four appendices: Appendix A is the meeting agendas, Appendix B is the lists of attendees, Appendix C is a list of commenters and written comments, and Appendix D is the June 1997 Shrimp Virus Report. |
