About 75% of all shrimp consumed in North America is from the China and Thailand. These shrimp farms are actually very large industrial farms whose conditions are certainly in question as to ecological and health standards.

Why 75% of shrimp consumed in in the U.S. as to locally fished shrimp ... because people are unwilling to pay the higher price of local product, and they just don't really give any thought as to where, and what they eat comes from.
