They’ve already helped a staggering more than 3 billion shrimp avoid a horrifying fate. That’s half the number of people in the United States [US]!
“10 times”, not “half”, as the US has around 300 M people. In addition, you linked to Faunalytics above, but I guess you meant to link to Shrimp Welfare Projects’ impact page (which says they have helped 3.3 billion shrimp per year; so 33 billion shrimp if they are accelerating the transition to electrical stunning by 10 years).

The 3.3 billion shrimp per year estimate reflects the total projected impact if all planned stunners are deployed. As of April 2025, Shrimp Welfare Project has agreed to distribute 17 stunners, but less than 40% have actually been deployed so far (see Section “How it Works”).
It typically takes 6 to 8 months to distribute a stunner and have it operational once an agreement has been signed (see Citation 6). The remaining stunners should be operational shortly.
Thanks for the great post, Matthew!

Thanks for the clarification! Strongly upvoted.
Yes oops, fixed that on my main blog but forgot to fix it here.
