A PAAAFR statement said the import of frozen or chilled shrimp without the authority’s consent is prohibited.

Kuwaiti fishing boats are also prevented from fishing for shrimp in territorial sea waters during this period without permission from PAAAFR.

The ban period was determined upon findings of studies on fish resources and for the optimum reproduction time, thereby ensuring breeding of this species, a favorite nutrition source for many people in the country.
