[ball the FACTS all should know:

Purdue University did an in depth study of shrimp farming, including ALL costs to start the project.
https://extension.purdue.edu/extmedia/EC/EC-797-W.pdf

Buying baby fry is the highest cost @ 24% of fixed farming costs. Labor is the next highest cost.

Near zero mortality rate cuts stocking cost 50% as current operations buy double what they expect to harvest due to an average 50% mortality rate. It is not uncommon for farms to occasionally lose an entire crop.

Laborers constantly monitor tanks to remove dead shrimp for water quality. Feeding times and quantity are done by educated guesses. Have to be careful not to overfeed as the decomposing food not eaten affects water quality.

This system has 2 monitors of the shrimp activity. Food is introduced automatically when behavior shows increased activity. When the shrimp slow down, feeding stops.

This farm does NOT use biofloc. Pesticides and herbicides are used in 3rd world shrimp farming. This patented system is able to handle all the ammonia and nitrates created without needing to introduce "good bacteria" to deal with the waste. Ammonia is toxic to the shrimp.

Automation in this case cuts labor significantly reducing the second highest cost of farming shrimp. Being a low voltage system, energy costs to run are minimal.

SHMP's technology cuts costs so much, and cuts mortality rates to such a degree, it turns the industry standards upside down with far lower costs, and far lower risks of mortality.
