Technology and 30,000 shrimp feeders
Allan Cooper, business development director at Vitapro, gave one concrete example of the way technology is playing a larger role in global shrimp production. "In Ecuador, for example, if you just go back seven years there were maybe no automatic feeders, and now we have more than 30,000 automatic feeders in Ecuador," Cooper told attendees.
"We are thinking about technology as the next frontier for the industry," he said.

Fantastic analogy from Bill Hoenig of Delta Blue at the @intrafish Shrimp Forum: 'Salmon is like OPEC -- there's very few places you can produce it.' Meanwhile, farmed #shrimp can be raised in dozens of countries, and is incredibly fragmented #ifshrimp21https://t.co/MYjMPyUaC2— Drew Cherry (@drewcherry) February 23, 2021
