How Shrimp Farming Works

For a shrimp to get to someone's plate, it goes through 20 different hands. The females would go through this eye stalker blation practice - cutting or slicing one or two of the eyes to induce egg laying. Then they would lay the eggs and spawn typically in these plastic lined small circular tanks. They spend about 30 days there,. eventually when they're become juveniles, they would scoop them out and either take them to the grow-out ponds where they spend the rest of their lives. There, they spend another 50 to 120 days depending on the size of the pond that a farmer wants to get to.
