When it comes to farmed shrimp – not that impossible to calculate (more or less!).
4.6 million metric tonnes production = 4,600,000,000kg. At 20g each average. So 50 shrimp/kg.
Promising to tell you the Prawn, the whole Prawn and nothing but the Prawn. Shining a light on global shrimp aquaculture and downstream markets. For those looking in from outside and those inside interested in the wider outside. Food trends, intelligence, tech, regulatory, investment and some fun, way out, or even wacky, shrimp material. Compressing 4,000 years of shrimp knowledge into 40 years – and counting.

Nursery ponds – yes use screening and population controls in steps along culture.
Multiple benefits including increased biosecurity and disease control.
A technology initially developed and used in South America because there were no hatcheries and purchasing wild seed was seasonal.
Granmar farm was a pioneer also to trial shrimp seed from its sister company, Semacua – the first commercial shrimp hatchery in the world
Using nurseries removed the seasonality of farmed shrimp culture pre hatchery seed and allowed for test bed for performance of pioneering hatchery produced….
