Water… The New Bycatch?
Actor Adrian Grenier is under the impression that he shouldn’t eat shrimp based on something someone once told him about bycatch.
Quick update for Adrian and other Entourage fans. The vast majority of shrimp eaten in the U.S. is farm raised. That means there is no bycatch… ‘cause… um… it comes from a farm.
NOAA writes that, “although our shrimp fisheries are among the largest and highest valued fisheries in the United States, farm-raised imports make up the majority of our shrimp supply (1.1 billion pounds in 2013.)”
