Shrimp Breeding vs. Simple Reproduction
When talking about shrimp keeping, most people talk about breeding shrimps too. But in fact, simple reproduction is not breeding. Breeding means to select offspring to meet criteria for better genes. This also means to reject a great number of shrimplets which don’t meet the breeding target. A serious breeder will not sell shrimps he rejected; this is an unwritten code of honour. Otherwise, the market is overstock with low quality shrimps.
