Shrimp are part of nature's food chain.

Shrimp have very specialized diets and will not eat a variety of foods.

Aquaculture is not a profitable business.

Few birds or other animals eat shrimp.

An aquaculturist can throw some young shrimp in a pond, and they will take care of themselves.

It means “cultivating small acreages of land.”

An aquaculturist must tend to the tanks carefully to make sure predators do not eat the shrimp.

The tanks are large aquariums built in warehouses.
