shrimp farms
Coastal prawn ponds
Shrimp farms are aquaculture operations that raise shrimp commercially in controlled environments—typically coastal ponds, tanks, or enclosed water systems.
The industry expanded rapidly in tropical regions during the late 20th century to meet global demand for shrimp.
Shrimp farms along the coast have replaced mangrove forests.
Environmental concerns include habitat destruction and water pollution.
