China, with one-fifth of the world’s population, accounts for two-thirds of the world’s reported aquaculture production.
China is one of the biggest markets in the world for shrimp with about one million metric tons grown per year. With a temperate climate and rather cold winters, Northern China cannot grow shrimp all year round as is the case in Southeast Asia.
Rising domestic demand for shrimp means factory farms must focus on increasing its yields and overall productivity. With intensive aquaculture shrimp farming comes large amounts of toxic sludge and chemical complexes like nitrite, that can be harmful to both shrimp and human health.
