Good afternoon. I'm John Scarpa of Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institution. For those who don't
know HBOI, we're a private nonprofit research, education, and training institution. So we're a little shy
of being an industry, but ahead of a public university. What we'd like to bring up is that in Florida, where
we're located, we really never expected to see the shrimp industry grow, mainly because of the highly
developed, highly regulated coastlines and high land values. We found out through industry partnerships
that Penaeus vannamei can withstand freshwater and can be grown to a commercial size in freshwater.
For the last few years we've actually been looking at that, and I'm up here mainly to discuss freshwater
as a possible biosecurity measure. Florida Atlantic University.
