Shrimp being the most valuable shellfish resource in terms of trade volume is farmed in large quantities in all South East Asian Countries including India as well as in Latin America. This industry has severely been criticized being the root cause of mangrove destruction and environment deterioration in the coastal areas due to wanton intensification and abuse of chemical and antibiotics along with discharge of untreated effluents. This has affected the shrimp farmers who suffered huge crop losses due to disease prevalence over and over again compelling them to choose a sustainable viewpoint in solidarity with the environment so that they can sustain their production systems on a longer run. Biomimicry is an approach to imitate nature and its methods of problem solving and applying those concepts in betterment of mankind. | Back to the basics Biomimicry in shrimp farming
