Shrimp Farming Open Access

Shrimp farming is an aquaculture business that exists in either a marine or freshwater environment, producing shrimp or prawns[Note 1] (crustaceans of the groups Caridea or Dendrobranchiata) for human consumption Indoor shrimp farming start-up expenses can be relatively low. A 40-tank farm with building costs included can cost as much as $500,000. However, an eight-tank farm that already has a building can be as little as $100,000, according to Rosenberry Our farm owners sell shrimp at a premium $19lb. Depending on the market, a successful, fully functioning 32-tank commercial shrimp farm profit margin is roughly 60% with the overall COGS around $9.00 per pound- equaling an extra seven figures annually.Increasingly, one of the most common misconceptions about farmed seafood is that it is unsafe to eat. By and large, all seafood – both wild caught and farm raised – is considered to be some of the most safe and nutritious. Even so, as with all foods, there are food safety hazards associated with seafood Most industrial shrimp farms are so crowded and unsanitary that producers must use high levels of pesticides, antibiotics and other chemicals (many of them are banned in the United States) in order to prevent disease. Residues of these toxins end up in the flesh of the shrimp, posing threats to consumer health.  In an aquarium ghost shrimp make your life that little bit easier. As a prominent scavenger, the shrimp will clear up any uneaten food as well as keeping algae levels down. Their cleaning prowess will keep the tank looking clean. They do this throughout the day and are always active and busy
