shrimp farm
Crustacean raising operation
A shrimp farm is a commercial aquaculture operation where shrimp are raised in controlled environments—typically ponds, tanks, or coastal enclosures—for sale as food.
The industry has grown substantially in tropical regions: Most of the shrimp at American supermarkets comes from shrimp farms in Southeast Asia.
