House Speaker Jose de Venecia Jr. this weekend endorsed the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources' research on vannamei white shrimps being undertaken here. De Venecia said the research by the bureau's National Integrated Fisheries Technology Development Center on some 1,080 breeders of vannamei shrimps imported from Hawaii seeks to boost food sufficiency throughout the country and provide jobs. The research intends to find a better alternative to the indigenous tiger prawns that posses only a 10-percent survival rate. The vannamei shrimp has about a 90 percent or more survival rate.
