There are over 2000 species of shrimp in the world. Some are carnivorous, some herbivorous, some omnivorous, and some are scavengers. Exact diet varies between species.
With thousands of shrimp species, many with different life cycles, many living in different parts of the world in dramatically different ecosystems, shrimp are opportunistic omnivores eating both plants and animals (dead and alive) which are nearest and easiest to grab and ingest.
Larvae shrimp consume whatever they drift with, namely plankton. Plankton may consist of algae, bacteria, and single cell plants or animals and detritus.
Many species migrate to shallow and brackish waters looking for food on the bottom. They eat plant detritus, worms, decaying animal parts such as clams, fish and snails. Many species are cannibalistic.
Farmed shrimp: they consume plant detritus, worms, decaying animal parts such as clams, fish and snails like their wild counterparts. With normal bottom surface movement shrimp stir up the bottom silt promoting the growth of algae. Some species are cannibalistic and are grown in less dense ponds.
By far, most food is introduced as fish food pellets or brine shrimp and fed at prescribed amounts per weight of growing shrimp. The bulk of farmed shrimp are from the Pacific Rim.
