New Shrimp Farming System Boosts Production

An AgriLife Research scientist has devised a new shrimp production eco-friendly system that does not release water to the environment. The system may increase shrimp production and food safety while cutting costs for producers and consumers.

Regents Fellow and Professor at the AgriLife Research Mariculture Laboratory in Texas Dr Tzachi Samocha said the new system yields about 10 times the shrimp of current US outdoor farm production.

This biosecure and sustainable process can be used by producers in this country to supply high-quality, live and/or fresh, never-frozen marketable shrimp on a year-round basis, he said.
