Sustainability

The primary elements of our sustainable shrimp farming practices include:

• Closed Cycle Selection

  We only use shrimp that are native to the region in our hatcheries, so we avoid introducing shrimp from other regions into our ponds.

• Recirculated Water

  We use a unique recirculating biofiltration system in our hatchery. This allows us to minimize the amount of sea water we use. And prior to returning any water to the sea, we sterilize it to avoid introducing any pathogens.

• Antibiotic Free

  We do not use any antibiotics or any substances that are prohibited for use in aquaculture.

• Environmental Awareness

  We promote a culture of environmental awareness among all our employees.

• Low Stocking Densities

  We stock our shrimp ponds at very low densities, minimizing the amount of organic sediment.

• Mangrove Forestation

  We have our own mangrove nursery that allows us to conduct a large scale mangrove forestation program. Whenever we have to remove any mangroves, we reforest an area three times as large.

• Environmental Adherence

  We follow all environmental laws and regulations of the countries where we farm shrimp.

• Minimal Use of Resource

  We minimize the use of power and water in all our farming and processing operations.

• Feed

  We are constantly trying to improve our feed conversion.
