Farmed Shrimp, Scampi Account For 83% of Shellfish Export Value

摘要

Unlike vegetable and fruit farmers the world over, shrimp and scampi aquaculturists in the south Indian state of Andhra Pradesh don't have to pray for rain to lubricate their livelihood. That's because they can count on the moon to unfailingly turn the tides, pumping brackish water from the Bay of Bengal deep inland from the east coast to provide hospitable habitat in which Penaeus monodon may flourish. It's better then to offer prayers seeking divine intervention to prevent crop failures caused by viral diseases, as well as ask for protection against the negative impact of depressed market Drices.
