Average price of white shrimp is US$5.5/kg for a size range of 21/25 shrimps per kg, while for P. monodon it is US7-13/kg.

The average import price in the EU was only about US$5.00/kg; this much lower value is explained by the fact that the EU imports more coldwater shrimp (from catches) that are ...

More recent FAO figures (2009) have taken the earlier discrepancy into account, resulting in a significantly lower 95.2 kg (210 lb) for Denmark (13th in the world). [7][8] When further adjusted for loss, calculations by DTU Fødevareinstituttet suggest the actual consumption was 48 kg (106 lb) per adult. [8]
During the 20th century, L. vannamei was an important species for Mexican inshore fishermen, as well as for trawlers further offshore. [2] In the late 20th century, the wild fishery was overtaken by the development of aquaculture production; this began in 1973 in Florida using prawns captured in Panama, that were used in hatcheries for larvae production.
