F&T and SHMP have differing agendas. Of course this "catastrophe" is a plus for Peter. He gets to test what does and doesn't work with a batch of viral infected shrimp and how to isolate them or cure them or whatever using water treatment. SHMP loses a half year of income because they can't sell shrimp they were raising for the first harvest, not to mention the outlay in time and money and feed. The dumbness, from the gitgo, with a shrimp company in business for ten years prior to the five they've been working with F&T, is not first addressing the isolation of larval shrimp brought in from outside the facility before introducing them into the patented system in the first place...saying they'r doing it now, in hindsight, is inexcusable...that was investor money down the drainpipe of a safety precaution that should have been part of the system set up before they ever went this far. A huge WASTE. And do they care? While investors have seen the value of their stock plunge yet again, unable to apply it to other assets that could help if they are feeling financially strapped and afraid to take the money out in the interim, these guys have been pulling their salaries year round without a care in the world, they didn't have to worry about infected larval shrimp because they don't seem too serious about reaching the marketplace with their livestock in the first place. Why should they! Shareholders keep throwing their cash at them!
So whenever it's convenient they say they're a technology company "perfecting" raising shrimp in a recirculating system pathogen free! Then there's the obvious they're a shrimp company that will make mega millions when they expand facilities all over the planet because they can grow and sell anywhere!
But in either scenario everything they do is WORTHLESS if they can't address the big problem of NOT introducing infected larval shrimp into a closed RECIRCULATING SYSTEM!
AND THEY REALIZE THIS NOW???
After how much was spent in the last number of months growing a first harvest for public consumption and sales?
