Part 6/9:
From a commercial standpoint, shrimp dominate the aquaculture market, especially in the U.S. and Europe, due to their adaptability and ease of farming in varied contexts. Prawns are less intensively farmed, often sourced from natural environments, which can lead to sustainability issues but also allow for a more localized harvesting approach that can be environmentally friendly when managed responsibly.
However, this intensity in farming shrimp makes them more accessible and often less expensive than prawns, which may come at a premium in certain regions.
