The shrimp tail is cheaper than lobster for the following reasons:
1. Growth rate: The growth rate of shrimp tail is faster than that of lobster, so the breeding period of shrimp tail is short and the cost is relatively low.
2. Feeding cost: The feeding cost of shrimp tail is lower than that of lobster, because shrimp tail can eat some cheap feed, while lobster needs higher quality feed.
3. Taste: The taste of shrimp tail is relatively light, while the taste of lobster is more strong, so the price in the market will also be different.
4. Supply: The supply of shrimp tail is larger than that of lobster, because shrimp tail can be cultured in fresh water and seawater, while lobster can only be cultured in fresh water, so the supply is relatively small.
To sum up, the reason why shrimp tails are cheaper than lobsters is mainly due to the combined effect of factors such as fast growth, low feeding cost, relatively weak taste and large supply.
