Shrimp Farming, also known as prawn farming, is a form of aquaculture that involves the cultivation of shrimp or prawns for human consumption. It is a relatively new form of aquaculture, having only been developed in the late 20th century. The process involves the stocking of ponds with juvenile shrimp, which are then fed and monitored until they reach a suitable size for harvesting. The ponds are typically stocked with a variety of species, including Pacific white shrimp, black tiger shrimp, and giant tiger shrimp. Shrimp Farming is a highly profitable industry, with the global market estimated to be worth billions of dollars. It is also a major source of employment in many countries, particularly in Southeast Asia. The industry is also highly sustainable, with many farms using integrated farming techniques to reduce the environmental impact of their operations. Some of the major companies in the Shrimp Farming market include Charoen Pokphand Foods, Thai Union Group, Maruha Nichiro Corporation, and CP Foods. Show Less Read more
