Trivia

• Prawns are incessantly hunted after by farmers. They are of particular importance in Western Australia, which catch more than 2000 tones of prawns every year. While this is good for the nutrition levels of local Australians, it spells disaster for the population of turtles. Scientists have estimated that around 29,000 sea turtles are captured and killed by fishing nets meant to lure in prawns.
• Despite its importance in Western Australia, China is the largest producer of seafood in the world, which is responsible for 41% of shrimp production.

In 2016, India was the largest exporter for shrimps.
