Promising to tell you the Prawn, the whole Prawn and nothing but the Prawn…….here I shine 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….
Shrimp is not part of the equation and not included in this article.
I mean why would they be?
No-one says oooh shrimp let’s look for an alternative.
I mean after all why would you?
If you are vegan or vegetarian there are plenty of option out there that are not related to the PRAWN.

Therefore, we felt comfortable overall listing “fish” on the scorecard as relatively on par with other lower-impact animal-based proteins on (eggs, poultry, pork).

……and we know shrimp aquaculture is on a par or even less impact than tilapia…
So where does aquaculture sit in all this?
Specifically shrimp is an obvious good choice. Plankton, grown in majority of shrimp ponds, absorb carbon.
Can shrimp protein also help fight climate change….or, at very least, have a positive positioning relative to other proteins out there.
Sounds like bacterial floc derivative.
States it has complete amino acid profile – for humans? For animal feed?
Don’t think it is the most environmentally friendly food there is at all….but riding the wave.
….so why not just eat the shrimp?
Shrimp will do it….
“….under-40s want “quick-fix health products that promise added vitamins, gut health, protein, relaxation” in an “affordable pocket-sized offering.
It’s the mindset that everything has to do something else, has to be multi-functional, in this smartphone generation – and that goes for food and drink as well,”
