Shrimp Aquaculture Larvae Plant

At a pre-note to this journal: This field trip took place 2 hours after we got back from our shrimp trawler experience where we did not sleep the whole night. Thus I was not the most enthused to be going to a shrimp larvae production plant. :) Oh I also did not have time to transfer my photos from the shrimp trawler night from my camera to my computer, but hopfeully later on I will find pictures to add.

As with all of the other Aquaculture process this plant imputs large amounts of antibiotics and chemicals back into the ocean. During this trip it was hard for me to compare the impact that the trawlers have with a plants like this one. Even though I want to say that aquaculture is less ecological impactful than trawling, I cant say that it is an alternative that I could support.

At the end of the day I feel that shrimp are a product that really should not be consumed because its harvest whether wild or farmed is so ecologically destructfull.
