Is shrimp renewable?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Shrimp are living creatures, and therefore they reproduce themselves so in that sense they are renewable.

However if you are referring to populations of shrimp that are being harvested by man for food then if man takes too many of them or harvests them in a bad year then man can destroy the population and the lives of other animals that feed on shrimp.

So while shrimp are renewable, mankind must learn to manage the resource properly or the resource could be lost (it has happened to the herring fishery in the north sea and there are many other examples of over exploitation).

Do triops eat brine shrimp?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In the wild they eat plant material, small bugs and pond creatures, and even each other if food is scarce.

If you are raising triops at home you can basically feed them anything organic. Chopped up vegetables and other kitchen scraps are good choices, or you can simply feed them a commercial fish food, like Betta fish food or shrimp pellets. You can also throw in dead bugs, spiders, etc and see if they will eat it. Or as the previous poster mentioned, you can even feed them grass.

If you need suggestions or specifics here is a link to a very good triops feeding guide, including how much to feed triops, when to feed triops, etc.

Asked by Wiki User

No. They need constant humidity and warm moist soil. It might be possible for some to survive down towards the border, but I doubt it. Their is no stable conditions for them to survive. That's why you will find them in places like Florida, or the caribean.

How long can lobsters live?

Asked by Wiki User

The c rayfish starts its life as an egg. The female and male crayfish mate and the female lays hundreds of eggs. The eggs attach to the swimmerets/tail of the female and when the eggs hatch, they are fully formed, albeit tiny. They stay with the mother for 1-2 weeks. In 2 weeks, the crayfish is about 1 centimeter long. This is when the crayfish will venture out on their own. They reach full adult size at 3-4 months. The average lifespan out in the wild is 3-8 years. --third grade teacher

Can cooked thawed shrimp be refrozen?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It's never advisable to re-freeze raw meat once it has been defrosted especially sea food - the worse kind of food poisoning is from sea food.

Shop bought shrimp are generally safe to freeze immediatly after purchase, but once defrosted, they are exposed to harmful bacteria which can spoil them, and therefore they cannot be refrozen. Defrosted shrimp should be covered and stored in the fridge, and consumed within two days.

-The following is from the UK Food Standards agency - http://www.eatwell.gov.uk/asksam/healthydiet/fiasandshellfishq/#A221177

When you buy prawns from a supermarket or fishmonger, they might have been frozen before, even if they aren't frozen when you buy them. Check the label or ask the person serving you, if you're not sure. You shouldn't freeze prawns that have already been defrosted.
