Other thing about shrimping is that it's a disaster to fish species; can't catch shrimp without catching huge numbers of juvenile fish that are killed.

Especially when they drag nets inside of the third sand bar.
The Vietnamese shrimpers don't kill any juvenile fish. They farm the shrimp.
Absolutely NOT true; may sound good, but untrue.

Exactly. About 15 years ago I went shrimping with an old Navy buddy who had become a commercial shrimper. I was astonished at the number of small sea trout, redfish, flounder, whiting, etc., that were killed in the shrimp nets. If shrimp were all pond-raised, the inshore salt-water fishing industry would certainly benefit.
