Anybody know if this shrimp is fished for, farmed, or what?
Does it all go to Vietnam?
How/why the doubling of the tonnages taken/exported?
There is no good info on the web.

Argie shrimp is 100% “wild” shrimp....
Not “farmed” nor “ranched”...

I can imagine it being wild and furious and pissed off being “caught” by a bunch of argie idiots.

No self-respecting shrimp could put up with that.
