TPWD will retest the shrimp near the end of the month to determine if they are to come out of quarantine, according to a post linked from a trade source today in the facebook page. This was the shrimp to be harvested for first profits. Either way, the new crop of larvals come in next week and if their yet again fudged timeline has now expanded to 24 weeks to harvest (the last was 14 if you are keeping up with the shifting pr statements) the first harvests for profit are now pushed back to March 2020 in a best case scenario. So in any case, weren't there supposed to be 2 ec units going in per month to bring it to full operation by December in any case? Sounds like they never put in those additional June July (August?) ec units, another indication they knew something was wrong earlier than the public was informed...and an explanation for the unusual SILENCE. In any case, if the only issue was the infected larva because somebody wasn't doing their job to make sure that didn't happen in the first place when livestock was coming in from outside the facility (should be the prime "science" to deal with before the rest of this) perhaps by next Spring there will be a viable company...a lot of ifs, but in the meantime, the entry point remains too high to justify risk at this juncture with such a load of toxic financing and no revenue to show until next spring or summer. I remain amazed that with this week's massive market drop and the opportunity to buy in on so many quality assets, people threw more money at shmp after these announcements thanks to the "shmp enablers" group on Facebook. Gamblers in 12 step programs should probably be invited to lecture in there.
