Aquaculture (or aquaculture) is the production of some organisms that inhabit the aquatic environment in captivity. Over the years, the development of shrimp farming has grown significantly, bringing financial returns, but their uncontrolled growth generated several impacts on the environment, the economy and also society. Brazil is considered one of the countries that produce shrimp and this is due to the favorable climate for its cultivation. Negative impacts may be short or long term, involving ecological imbalance, environmental pollution, disease outbreaks, among others. To be adopted a new style of development geared to sustainability, it is essential that arrangements be made, strategies and activities that fall within the shrimp aquaculture activities in a harmonious way in its relations between communities, the environment and development
