    Shrimps and prawn culture has made significant advances during the last decade in many parts of the world. The incentive for such development was often the profit motive; the most favoured species were those which commanded the highest prices when sold as luxury foods. The demand for prawn in Thailand is way higher than supply plus the market price is 5–10 times higher than fish. Certainly such demand and benefits have provided sufficient stimulus to promote investment in prawn culture by the pr ivate sector. In order to help solve the problems which will occur after the rapid growth of prawn and shrimp culture, research on management techniques, disease and feed are necessary. Fundamental nutritional studies are required, prior to the development and commercial production of formulated feed. The nutritional requirements of shrimp have been intensively studied in Japan since 1971, and their results may be useful to our researches on shrimp nutrition and seed production. The purpose of our visit was therefore to concentrate on visiting establishments where the nutrition of marine and freshwater shrimp is being studied, and to discuss and exchange views on mutual problems and to improve our knowledge of shrimp nutrition and shrimp culture techniques generally. A list of the places visited and personnel met is given in Appendix I.
