SHRINFO is a project funded by The National Center for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (BIOTEC) of Thailand and partially sponsored by the South/Southeast Component Project of Aquaculture CRSP through the sharing of equipment and researchers' time. This project has been conducted by Aquaculture CRSP researchers Yang Yi and Sahdev Singh, starting from January to December 2003 (Phase I) and from January to December 2004 (Phase II). Vinij Tansakul, one of the earliest Aquaculture CRSP staff members in Thailand, is the database manager.
SHRINFO is a web-enabled database dedicated to information on shrimp research conducted at various agencies and universities in Thailand. This dual language (Thai-English) information resource is accessible through a website (http://www.aqua-information.ait.ac.th/shrinfo/). User-friendly interfaces are provided for those who would like to update the database and search for information. The database website also provides general information about the shrimp industry in Thailand, government and private agencies working on shrimp, and other useful shrimp related links. SHRINFO has more than 2,000 records, covering almost all literature of Thai shrimp research.
