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….
Well of course if Norwegian Prime Minister says so….
Still shrimp farming is not to be overlooked….not only for its cost effective productivity and size compated to salmon but also because farmed shrimp are omniverous (so no need the insects) and have, unlike salmon, lifted millions out of poverty.
Yes our familiar shrimp eating mammals – here to save the planet again.
Makes sense but is the effect compounded over generation one wonders?
More reasons to keep eating shrimp.
Surprised that this is an area only recently being studied.
Stay off the raw prawn is what your microbiome is probably telling you…..uncooked possibly loaded with vibrio.

Questions remain as to whether a farmed prawn is the right ingredient for a shrimp cocktail as traditionally one uses coldwater prawn and a prawn cocktail sauce mix.
So were these maybe shrimp ceviches rather than cocktails?
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.

Warning – fished coldwater shrimp study NOT farmed. Do not extrapolate.
UN and IPCC probably already have – and Greta?
Yes via acidification and for wild fished coldwater prawn (cwp) – mainly p. borealis.
Not to worry farmed shrimp. Tastes here have already been manipulated by pelleted feeds…
……vannamei are sweet…before they get adulterated by processing that is.
