The newly formed West Texas Shrimp Growers Association is going to bat for aquaculture businesses who have been trying to produce a competitive product since the 1970s. But imported shrimp from such countries as Vietnam is currently allowed for sale in this country, even though Texas producers argue that some of the imports are grown using antibiotics banned in the United States. cThis is actually driving us out of business, d said David Tucker, president of the Desert Shrimp Growers Association. He said imported shrimp tainted with chloramphenicol, an antibiotic that in rare cases can cause an incurable and highly fatal anemia in humans, has been found in the United States. Such imported shrimp does not have to meet the same rigid standards applied to the domestic shrimp industry. cThat 9s not fair trade practices, d Tucker told the Pecos Enterprise. He said domestic shrimp farmers cannot use chloramphenicol. If they did, he said, they would be out of business and in court. Tucker traveled to Austin on Monday to meet with Texas Agriculture Commissioner Susan Combs and a representative of Gov. Rick Perry 9s office, along with representatives of the coastal shrimp growers association and shrimp processors.
