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….
With 15% of global fisheries MSC now – good improvement.
Fisheries are a peaked resource – so going sustainable is the only way to maintain current volumes from diminishing. Stewardship is necessary.
For real long term sustainable growth in seafood look to aquaculture. A non peaked resource.
Luckily there are also many other labelling/certification organisations and pressure groups promoting sustainable seafood from other grounds and via other assessments.
Train your taste buds to like clean deck farmed shrimp…..and lay off a bit on the red meat. Avoid also super highly processed alt meats. Eat clean deck responsibly farmed shrimp – good for the environment AND for your health. An ethical & responsible option.
Whole Foods CEO on plant-based meat boom: Good for the environment but not for your health.

Only question for UK shrimp farmer – is it ethical to bring in and grow exotic shrimp from the US even from where it is not even endemic and what with the UK a signatory to the Rio Treaty (CBD)?
Is this not a GMO vannamei Pacific shrimp if from a USA breeding program and also an exotic to the US.
Why get your seed from the US? Apart from the UNOIE/EU live shrimp for culture trade law requirement.
Not clear here at all what shrimp species is being cultured here…
If Pacific vannamei then not sure that growing an exotic shrimp species in Vietnam should be allowed an organic status at all.
ASC should not condoning exotics either..
