    Not my shrimp, not in this tank!

    Now that they know why it works, wouldn’t there be a chemical way to stimulate ovulation? I know that has its own risks, but plucking off their eyeballs just seems cruel AND labor intensive.

      If there was a chemical method that worked, it would be used. Food farmers aren’t keen on inefficiency

        The page has an “alternatives” section, looks like shrimp farmers could avoid this process by just giving the shrimp higher quality feed.

        If there was a cost effective chemical method that worked, it would be used.
