Because gills are the respiratory organs of crayfish, impurities in the water must be filtered through the gills. Shrimp raised in shallow water areas will have black gills because there are more impurities in the water. Only shrimps cultured in deep lakes will have clean gills and clean hearts. If the growing environment is not clean, no matter how many times you wash it, it will not wash away the impurity inside the shrimp.
