    Learned about this recently. Bring it up literally any time I’m around people eating seafood.

      most shrimp production involves some kind of slavery, the whole industry is disgusting

        I’m pretty sure this is essentially farming 101.

        there was an article not that long ago about VR headsets for cattle.

          That may be debatable but the shrimp industry has a problem that is beyond almost all other examples. People still do get shanghaied and forced to labor.

    Not my shrimp, not in this tank!

    Now that they know why it works, wouldn’t there be a chemical way to stimulate ovulation? I know that has its own risks, but plucking off their eyeballs just seems cruel AND labor intensive.

      If there was a chemical method that worked, it would be used. Food farmers aren’t keen on inefficiency

        The page has an “alternatives” section, looks like shrimp farmers could avoid this process by just giving the shrimp higher quality feed.

        If there was a cost effective chemical method that worked, it would be used.

        Food farmers aren’t keen on inefficiency that cuts into their bottom line
