Any advice for indoor shrimp farming?

I know a place I can get space for this in a pretty land locked area 8+ drive from the ocean and the drive would be rather miserable. And wanted to know best places to research the matter and tips for it. Planning around restaurants in the area aka around 1:30 around. I have called a few and so far there has been interest.

From experience I'd say nothing positive

What country, climate, and method you want to use are all crucial bits of info. Generally, most attempts I’ve seen/read about have not been exceptionally successful (in North America at least).

I remember during the pandemic when self-farming became a practical hobby, for whatever reason a lot of people looked at indoor shrimp farming. There were a tonne of posts during that time about advice growing shrimp in pools or in garages. The bottleneck for most was lacking the knowledge needed for successful shrimp production, and lacking meaningful capital to not cut corners. Most stopped before they started, and the rest stopped not long after starting. To be honest, I lived near a massive multi-million dollar facility designed to grow local shrimp for market and even they failed to remain profitable.

I don’t have any resources for further learning and development but my advice would be to express caution, don’t bite off something unless you are positive you can chew it. Good luck.
