This book delves into the ethical implications of?shrimp sentience and provides a new dataset of the estimated numbers of individual shrimp caught by country and species, suggesting ways that policymakers could improve wild-caught shrimp welfare. It provides a roadmap for future research and policy to address this urgent, emerging challenge.

This book fills a glaring gap and will help move the industry to a better position. It will also add to the consumer demand for better treatment of these animals and, hence, make the food industry more receptive to change.
