Shrimp farming is the practice of raising shrimp in controlled environments, typically in ponds or tanks. This method allows for the production of shrimp for human consumption, providing a steady supply to meet global demand. Farmers manage water quality, feed, and health to ensure optimal growth and minimize disease.
The process begins with the selection of shrimp larvae, which are then placed in designated areas where they are fed and monitored. As they grow, farmers harvest the shrimp when they reach the desired size. This sustainable approach helps reduce pressure on wild shrimp populations and supports local economies.
