SPF Broodstock

We specialize in the production of genetically improved SPF (Specific Pathogen Free) Litopenaeus vannamei broodstock. Our stocks originated from SPF and SPR populations of the USDA Marine Shrimp Farming Program at The Oceanic Institute (OI) at Makapu’u Hawaii. These domesticated families of broodstock come from wild shrimp that were naturally free of specific pathogens then domesticated by OI.

Molokai Broodstock Company (MBC) has over 20 years experience of shipping broodstock worldwide.  Our international exports started in 1998 with shipments of Post Larvae into China.  That was followed in 1999 with exports of SPF broodstock into Taiwan, China, Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, Vietnam, Philippines and Malaysia.  Founder stocks were shipped into India in 2005 and 2006.  Other countries of export include, Singapore, Japan, Korea, Guam, Saipan, Virgin Islands, Israel, Kuwait, Iran, France, Germany, Italy, England, Finland, Egypt, Scotland, Sweden, Canada, Mexico, Honduras, and the United States.

Significant improvements in shipping and packaging techniques have achieved higher survival rates. The higher survival combined with excellent reproduction and grow-out performance have resulted in higher return on investment (ROI) for hatcheries and shrimp farms.

MBC facilities allow for the production of substantial quantities of high quality broodstock.  High health SPF broodstock are produced and available to ship year-round to meet customer needs.
