Back to Work


The following pictures tell the story that words cannot.

Sometimes given the personal crisis I have been battling the past two years I forget how sweet the progress we have made in our aquaculture business is.

Today was one of those days when it again hit home how far we have come since we broke ground on our R&D facility here in South Texas a little over 19 months ago.

We are just completing our final growth trials at true commercial production levels. The results are beyond amazing.

The fact is that we grow shrimp larger, in greater densities, with better survival rates than anyone else in the world. 

And we do so in a system that does not discharge nasty, unclean water back into the environment. 

In point of fact, we basically recycle our water which we make cleaner in our system than it is when we bring it in from the ocean.

We tested weights in all 10 of our stocked ponds in the R&D facility today. In the ponds that have held the shrimp the longest (ponds 11 and 12) our average weights are approaching or exceeding fifty grams and we have densities close to 3 kilograms a cubic meter. 

So, we are ready to harvest 11 and 12 in the next two weeks, and have five ponds coming on line for harvest every three weeks respectively after that with better weights and densities. 

Time to expand production. Time to show the world.
