Tai 11 Line White Shrimp Introduction
"The concept of 'only sharing products I feel safe eating myself' is a belief held by the owner of the White Shrimp King along Taiwan Route 11, which he imparts to his children. With this simple philosophy, he raises white shrimp. Utilizing the unique marine environment of Chenggong Township in Taitung, he farmed white shrimp in pure seawater, without extracting groundwater that could harm aquifers. Although white shrimp grown in pure seawater grow slower than those in freshwater, the shrimp raised in a marine environment have a firmer and more resilient texture, avoiding the powdery and insubstantial feel. After over ten years of experience and improvements, the ponds employ a hard bottom design, making the growing environment much cleaner compared to the mixed farming method using sandy bottom ponds in the western region. Moreover, constant monitoring of the ever-changing water quality day and night is a secret of shrimp farming, reliant on sunlight and seawater to control the microorganisms in the ponds. This allows for the provision of healthy white shrimp to consumers without relying on any antibiotics or chemicals. As a result, every batch of healthy, well-grown white shrimp is naturally selected through a long growth period, with an inevitably low yield in natural farming. Despite encountering many challenges during the farming process, the drive to share health remains the owner's motivation."
