    The document discusses the history and global practices of shrimp farming. Shrimp farming began growing rapidly in the 1970s, particularly to meet demand in the US, Japan, and Western Europe. About 75% of farmed shrimp is produced in Asia, mainly China and Thailand. Shrimp farming has industrialized and now relies primarily on just two shrimp species, though disease outbreaks remain an ongoing issue.
