Shrimp Farmers

Official Question Material
Prep: 30-40 Seconds

Shrimp farmers used to hold animals in nursery ponds for 30 to 60 days; now they try to move them into grown out ponds in less than 30 days. This reduces stress on the animals and dramatically increases survival in the grow out ponds. Many farms that abandoned nursery ponds have gone back to them, and the results have been surprisingly positive. They are using the old, uncovered, earthen, nursery ponds.
