US land-based shrimp producer NaturalShrimp announced today that it's installing an enhanced version of its patent-pending, vibrio suppression technology system at its production facility in La Coste, Texas.

"The testing we conducted went very well," said Tom Untermeyer, the company's chief technology officer.

NaturalShrimp said its vibrio suppression technology is designed to create higher sustainable shrimp population densities, consistent production, improved growth and survival rates and superior food conversion without the use of antibiotics, probiotics or toxic chemicals.

The company said vibrio suppression technology works to exclude and suppress harmful organisms such as bacteria that can destroy shrimp crops produced with older closed-loop technologies.
