Shrimp fishing a deep Sea Fishing

Shrimp is considered as a delicious sea food. Previously, Shrimps are collected from fishing. So it is like a deep sea fishing. One day, I met a friend after a long time. Well educated and very talented he is. He is from a noble family,had higher education in the UK. "Hello! how r u?" I wished him. He in his soft and gentle tone said "Hello", I'm fine and how r u?" Long time no see? where r u? and what r u doing?" "So so, I'm doing deep sea fishing these days, he replied.

'Deep Sea Fishing' is very tough job. It's very risky and very good earning job. Shrimp fishing is a deep sea fishing. Therefore, shrimps are sold very costly in the market. Nepal is one of the richest countries in water resources in the world. Yet there is no ocean nor sea, where Nepalese people could fish the shrimps and export it to the developed countries to earn US dollars. So on the contrary, the Nepalese people themselves are exported to the third countries and go for shrimp fishing in order and earn dollars as wages.

A shrimp farm is an aquaculture business for the cultivation of marine shrimp or prawns for human consumption.Commercial shrimp farming began in the 1970s, and production grew steeply, particularly to match the market demands of the USA, Japan and Western Europe. The total global production of farmed shrimp reached more than 1.6 million tonnes in 2003, representing a value of nearly 9,000 million U.S. dollars. About 75% of farmed shrimp is produced in Asia, in China and Thailand in particular . The other 25% is produced mainly in Latin America, where Brazil is the largest producer. The largest exporting nation is Thailand.

Shrimp farming has changed from traditional, small-scale businesses in Southeast Asia into a global industry. Technological advances have led to growing shrimp at ever higher densities, and broodstock is shipped world-wide.
