Below you’ll find answers to the questions we get asked the most about our facility, our shrimp and business.
When we talk about optimal conditions, we mean temperature, amount of waste, salinity, acidity and much more. All dependent and strongly connect to each other.
That is why we perform various tests, several times a day, to maintain these optimal conditions.
We don’t! We maintain a zero discharge facility by using advanced filter systems to clean and neutralize water for the next batch. Furthermore, our commitment to sustainability extends to repurposing left-over materials as fertilizer, supporting the growth of crops like samphire.
We grow Pacific White Shrimp: Litopenaeus Vannamei. A decapod species of the Penaeidae family. Originally from the eastern Pacific Ocean, from the west coast of Mexico to the west coast of Peru.
We feed our shrimp a specific pellet diet that includes proteins and the necessary vitamins and minerals. More than 5 times a day.
All geared to the water quality and growth of our shrimp.
It may seem gross, but the opposite is true. Our biofloc system contains healthy bacteria that ensure perfect water quality. Just like the natural environment.
Generally, it takes about 4 months from post-larvae to harvest. If the conditions are right, shrimp can grow incredibly fast.
100% of the shrimp we consume in The Netherlands, is imported, mostly from Asia and Central America. This shrimp is shipped in frozen containers because it would be too costly and impracticable to ship fresh shrimp.
