Looks like a few items affected in the grocery store will be the imported farmed shrimp. It would be great to end the controversial Pig-over-Shrimp farms in Vietnam and others.

A fed in the food arena told me about it. He doesn’t eat shrimp grown outside the USA.
Concept:
Pigs are housed in pens above shrimp ponds. Pig waste (manure and uneaten feed) drops into the shrimp pond below. Shrimp feed on the organic waste, which is high in nutrients, reducing the need for commercial shrimp feed. It’s cheap and reduces input costs.
2015 article linked above shows:
About 27 percent of the seafood Americans eat comes from China — and the shipments that the FDA checks are frequently contaminated, the FDA has found. The agency inspects only about 2.7 percent of imported food. Of that, FDA inspectors have rejected 1,380 loads of seafood from Vietnam since 2007 for filth and salmonella, including 81 from Ngoc Sinh, agency records show. The FDA has rejected 820 Chinese seafood shipments since 2007, including 187 that contained tilapia.
