The land of 10,000 shrimp?
Minnesotans love seafood. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 90 percent of the U.S. seafood consumption is imported and most of that is shrimp. Per capita, Americans consume about 4.9 pounds of shrimp per year.
About half of the seafood the U.S. imports is farm-raised. AURI recently partnered with the Minnesota Soybean Research and Promotion Council (MSR&PC) to convene experts in the field of inland fish and shrimp production for a forum examining opportunities for shrimp farming in Minnesota.
