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. Compressing 4,000 years of shrimp knowledge into 40 years – and counting.
Going from 1 to 2 is 100% growth rate.

In the wild the shrimp strategy is survival over growth – to reproduce for continuation of the species.
On a farm domesticated shrimp are not healthy shrimp that would flourish normally in the wild.
Farmed shrimp are geared to fulfil a particular, limited purpose, not to live a full and rounded life.
Increases in growth rate, which would be irrational for a wild shrimp, make perfect sense in a crop, because crops live for people, not themselves.
