由于受到一种叫“Taura 综合病”的虾病的影响,厄瓜多尔的虾产量已从1992年的8.72万 t 降至1993年的7.35万 t,下降幅度为15%。1994年养虾业前景更加暗淡,有12000hm~2的养虾场已经关闭,不再养虾。产生这种大规模减产的原因可能是与该地区在香蕉园中大规模、无节制地使用一种防治香蕉黑枯叶病的杀菌剂有关。 Due to the impact of a shrimp disease called “Taura’s disease,” shrimp production in Ecuador has dropped from 87,200 tonnes in 1992 to 73,500 tonnes in 1993, a 15% decline. The prospect of shrimp farming in 1994 is even more bleak. There are 12,000 hm ~ 2 shrimp farms closed and no shrimp farming. The reason for such large-scale production cuts may be related to the large-scale, unrestrained use of a fungicide against banana black leaf disease in banana gardens in the area.
