I don't know. I can't find any information on shrimp farms in Illinois. Do you have some to share? The reason the shrimp farms in Arizona seemed to be doing well in an environmental sense was that they was being overseen by a university, using excellent new methods. And of course since no ocean was involved, no ocean could be polluted. It would be interesting to study how the nasty chemicals people ingest when they eat farmed fish affect health, though. Generally, I don't think fish farming is a very good idea at all. Of course there are going to be places where the impact is less than in others, but at its core it is a totally unnatural practice. And I personally don't believe in factory farms of any kind, so shrimp farming wouldn't really be something I would endorse. The state of Oregon has outlawed all fish farms because of environmental concerns. Just because you can get cheap shrimp doesn't mean it's a good idea necessarily.
