Hey I’m happy to see this on the forum! I think farmed shrimp interventions are a promising area and this report highlights some important considerations. I should note that Rethink Priorities has also been researching this topic for a while and I won’t go into detail as I’m not leading up this work and the person who is currently is on leave, but I think we’ve tentatively come to some different conclusions about the most promising next steps in this domain.
In the future, if anyone reading this is inclined to work on farmed shrimp, in addition to reviewing this report I’d hope you’d read over our forthcoming work and/or reach out to us about this area.
Thanks for adding this, Marcus! Indeed, Vicky—primary author—worked with Daniela Waldhorn from Rethink Priorities while researching this topic. We both cannot wait to read the final report and see your tentative conclusions.
Once your report is published, I will link it in this post to ensure that people can read more from a different angle and see where our research differs.
One thing to note is that CE plans to follow up our shrimp welfare report with an implementation report that looks more at the practicalities, which may lead to some changes in next steps.
