Japan's ShrimpTech JIRCAS and IMT Engineering partner on land-based shrimp aquaculture

They said the new collaboration will focus on both basic and applied research, feasibility studies, and the commercialisation of new technologies to promote the growth of what they describe as "sustainable" land-based shrimp production in Japan and internationally.

Under the partnership, IMT Engineering will provide technical support, including site surveys and facility design, while ShrimpTech JIRCAS will focus on research and technology commercialisation. The companies will also explore joint business activities, an exchange of human resources, and the cultivation of research staff to promote innovation, they added.

Dr. Marcy Wilder, CEO of ShrimpTech JIRCAS, stated that the collaboration will allow both companies to leverage their respective strengths and deliver a positive impact to the industry.
