Marketing Zero-Exchange Shrimp Hatcheries
On July 26, 2011, I interviewed the management team at Scientific Associates, LLC, an Indiantown, Florida, USA, company, that quietly, over the last three years, has developed a pilot-scale, zero-exchange shrimp hatchery. To do that, it developed some new technology and turbo charged some older technology. Working with two indigenous, penaeid species, it built a small, zero-exchange shrimp farm to test the postlarvae (PLs) from its hatchery. And now it's ready to market its zero-exchange hatchery technology to shrimp farmers worldwide.
Think Tank: Shrimp, anywhere
Zero-exchange technology could expand shrimp hatchery locations

Technology has been both friend and foe to the seafood industry. For example, Gulf of Maine fishermen first benefited from improved gear and technology that allowed them to accurately pinpoint the location of a biomass. But that accuracy soon aided the devastation of groundfish stocks that are still being rebuilt.
