Shrimp

A Swiss company is building a 400-ton land-based shrimp farm in Morocco, and it could be the first of many

With a pilot farm already operating in Saudi Arabia, the company is intent on proving that shrimp can be farmed anywhere, even miles from the sea.

Built and controlled by the Zurich-based sustainable aquaculture technology company, Novaton, the vannamei shrimp farm will use the company's proprietary biological closed system, controlled by smart systems and almost zero water exchange.
