Around the world, shrimp populations in their natural habitat are seriously endangered for different reasons:

Pb: lead;
Hg: mercury; Cr: chromium; Ni: nickel; Cd: cadmium C = head / cephalotorax; AS I-II: abdominal segment I-II; AS III-IV: abdominal segment III-IV. |
•Cd levels are 2-3X higher in cephalothorax (C) than abdominal segments (AS) of L. vannamei from Ecuador and Honduras, and Penaeus monodon of Philippines, and may impact health of people that consume them.
