This facility, located at Neelankarai, Chennai is one of its kind in the world and conforms to all the international quality standards required for an Aquatic Quarantine for the introduction of the non native American white shrimp L. vannamei to India. The AQF was set into operation in 2009 and its establishment has facilitated the popularization of vannamei farming in India, which has subsequently resulted in increased shrimp production and contributed to the export revenue of the country.
