From aquaculture.com – There are three species of gulf shrimp that have worldwide commercial importance, pink, gulf white, and brown. Brown shrimp constitute nearly half of the United States shrimp harvests. Gulf shrimp, unlike other varieties of shrimp, do not survive well in captivity and thus are not cultured. The only sources of gulf shrimp are wild. MawMaw does find the brown shrimp in Holly Beach, Louisiana, but prefers the taste of the Gulf white.
