The shrimp aren't going anywhere. They're an annual crop. Spawns produce millions upon millions each year. Grow incredible fast. If we stopped netting 'em you wouldn't be able to catch a fish b/c they'd all be full!
I've read 55% come from farms, but that's the pathway forward. The old world is passing away like the wake behind Shrimp boats. Its inevitable. In the early 90's shrimp [wild caught] accounted for 85% of the value of edible fisheries production here in LA.
And yep, as usual, we're broke.

Its crazy simple, Gulf Shrimp tastes better.
I've always called it "The Gulf"
When I worked as an X-Ray Technician in the Oilfield "The Gulf"
When friends were going fishing "The Gulf"
Hurricanes "The Gulf"
I'll only use the full name if someone is confused and asks me to be specific.

The shrimping industry has been on it's last legs for the past 50 years. Someone's always going to be out there casting a net.
