Dutch-based Hendrix Genetics completed a deal with Integrated Aquaculture International LLC (IAI) to participate in the breeding and production of shrimp for the global industry.

IAI is an aquaculture technology company on the Hawaiian island of Kauai. Its breeding center produces genetically-improved Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) broodstock under the brand name "Kona Bay" and will soon launch its line of SPF black tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon).

Hendrix Genetics will accelerate IAI's shrimp breeding program by introducing its advanced genetic and genomic technologies.
