Crustacean Farming
Crustacean farming, also known as aquaculture, involves the cultivation of crustaceans like shrimp, crabs, and lobsters in controlled environments. This practice helps meet the growing demand for seafood while reducing pressure on wild populations. Farmers create optimal conditions for growth, including water quality, temperature, and feeding.
The process typically takes place in ponds, tanks, or ocean enclosures. Farmers monitor the health and growth of the crustaceans, ensuring they are free from disease. Sustainable practices are essential to minimize environmental impact and promote the long-term viability of crustacean farming, benefiting both producers and consumers.
