"Warmer water always makes shrimp grow and breed better"
Use the complete answer. A verdict without its boundary and next action can become another myth.
What is supported
temperature can change development, growth, sex allocation, reproductive timing and physiology under tested conditions.
What is not established
the fastest measured outcome is the best long-term welfare or colony temperature, or that one successful treatment defines a universal optimum.
What to do next
separate the desired endpoint, tested range and house operating choice, then monitor the whole colony rather than speed alone. Use the temperature guide.
Exact evidence trace
This is the selected claim-level trace, not every source used by the broader guide. Roles describe how each record is used here; they are not quality grades.
Evidence records
- direct support Effect of temperature on biochemical composition, growth and reproduction of the ornamental red cherry shrimp: Directly compares temperature-associated growth, reproduction and composition under the tested design.
- direct support Losing Reproduction: Effect of High Temperature on Female Biochemical Composition and Egg Quality: Shows that high-temperature reproductive and egg-quality endpoints can diverge from a simple faster-is-better claim.
- direct support To what extent does temperature affect sex ratio in red cherry shrimp?: Measures temperature-associated offspring sex allocation under its specific conditions.
- direct support Body coloration, carotenoid content, spermatophore quality and biochemical parameters by effect of temperature: Measures color, biochemical and spermatophore endpoints across tested temperatures rather than universal welfare.
Named open questions: no current gap is mapped to this exact claim. That does not prove completeness.
Inspect the broader guide evidence dossier for all records, authorities, gaps, searches and changes connected to the practical guide.
