Recently, the Nanjing Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau of Jiangsu Province learned that Nanjing Lukou International Airport will welcome three batches of live-spotted shrimps in the near future. It is reported that this is the first time that Jiangsu Port has imported live spotted prawns.

P. prawn, commonly known as grass shrimp, flower shrimp, black tiger shrimp, is a large species in the genus Prawn, and the length of mature shrimp is generally 22.5 to 32 cm. P. monodon is not only delicious, but also nutritious, and the astaxanthin content is about 20% higher than that of ordinary shrimp. The three batches of live prawn imported from this time are from Phuket, Thailand. The staff of Jiangsu Nanjing Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau said that after packaging in Thailand, P. monodon can only guarantee 15 hours of vitality. In order to ensure the speed of customs clearance of live prawn, the inspection and quarantine department not only opens a “green channel” for importing enterprises, but also simplifies the inspection and quarantine process, and also helps enterprises coordinate customs and airport cargo terminals. After the speed of the live shrimp is increased, a higher survival rate can be guaranteed.

It is reported that in addition to the on-site inspection of the goods, the imported live shrimps are also placed in the holding tank designated by the inspection and quarantine, and further laboratory tests are carried out according to relevant standards in China. The testing items include veterinary drug residues, heavy metal residues, and environment. More than 40 pollutants and aquatic animal diseases. After inspection and quarantine, the importing enterprises will start to import a large number of live-spotted prawn in conjunction with market demand and enrich the dining table of Nanjing citizens.
