A Las Vegas company plans to grow shrimp in giant water tanks in arid southern Nevada.
"It's hard for some people to grasp, but we will be raising shrimp in the middle of the desert," Scott McManus, CEO of Ganix Biotechnologies Inc., told the Las Vegas Sun.
The plant being built north of Las Vegas was expected to open in March, with the shrimp being raised in indoor tanks filled with hundreds of thousands of gallons of water.
About half of the shrimp will be sold in Las Vegas. McManus also plans to market shrimp in California, Arizona, Utah and Colorado.
