The requirement for high-quality shellfish aquaculture production, especially shrimp, is increasingly in demand. Currently, shrimp aquaculture has become one of Malaysia's food security measures, which is consistent with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted by the United Nations' 2030 vision for food security and zero hunger. The outbreaks of diseases such as Acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (AHPND), Early mortality syndrome (EMS), White spot syndrome virus (WSSV), and infestation of virulence vibriosis bacterial, V. parahaemolyticus and V. harveyi contributed a significant loss in the shrimp aquaculture production all around the world, as well as shrimp aquaculture production in Malaysia. Due to its major importance, the objectives of this review paper is to introduce the shrimp and prawn cultures in Malaysia emphasized on the current technology and research developed in shrimp aquaculture in Malaysia including the application of biofloc technology, the therapeutics treatment application in shrimp culture, monosex culture of all males using neo-female technology, the current trend of the shrimp production in Malaysia and on the future perspective of shrimp aquaculture in Malaysia. This review paper will generate more information, knowledge, application technology and beneficial findings on the shrimp aquaculture, especially for farmers and aquaculturists, in order to generate a high-quality seafood production of shrimp in the future and also to achieve the SDGs goals as well.
