NaturalShrimp, Inc.: Building Renovation and Shrimp Production Update

DALLAS, Tx., January 28, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — via NEWMEDIAWIRE –The renovation project at the NaturalShrimp, Inc.’s (OTCQB: SHMP) pilot production facility is proceeding as scheduled and is expected to be completed and fully operational, using its patented technology to grow gourmet-grade shrimp without the use of antibiotics or toxic chemicals, during the second quarter of 2020. This project entailed validating proper operation of the installed nursery and grow-out tanks and equipment with test batches of shrimp. When completed, the pilot plant will utilize four nursery tanks and 40 grow-out tanks having a total volume capacity of more than 600,000 gallons. The photos below show a view of some of the installed tanks.

   

The recently announced signed contract with Sea Products Development (SPD), LLC will allow NaturalShrimp, Inc. to begin limited shrimp production during the second quarter of 2020 and full production during the third quarter of 2020. The first shipment of 500,000 postlarvae shrimp from SPD is scheduled to arrive at the La Coste pilot plant on February 5, 2020. The photo below shows a one net sample of shrimp taken from one of our nursery tanks just prior to gravity flowing into our grow-out tanks.

 

Tom Untermeyer, Chief Technology Officer of NaturalShrimp, commented: “The pilot plant has undergone considerable changes in order to convert it into a first-class shrimp production facility. In addition to removing and replacing the plastic lined tanks with new fiberglass tanks and constructing a new in-ground 20,000-gallon concrete gravity fed harvest tank, the renovation involves routing new electrical wiring, air plumbing, and water plumbing throughout the 30,000 square foot production area. It has also included receiving and installing electrocoagulation equipment, supporting filtration vessels, new custom automated feeding devices, and alarm condition monitoring. Building renovations include new laboratory space and controlled access.”
