Mr. Sunny dog was very busy today he helped get all the buoys serviced and set out at each pond. They later will be put down in the water to monitor oxygen and temperature. This information is used to adjust our aerators and create a stable environment for the shrimp. 🦐 🐶

Well as of today all of the ponds are set up and ready for water. We can only fill up one at a time and it takes roughly 3-4 days and then they later have to be topped off due to evaporation. Our well pumps around 1,200 gallons a minute so things go by pretty quickly. Everything will be full and ready by the time we pick up the shrimp which we have just made arrangements to do at the end of the month. 🇺🇸 🦐

Welcome to the CEMENT BOX. This crucial piece of our process allows us to seal, fill and or drain the ponds. Keeping those shrimp in is our number one priority. Follow through to see how we install this piece of the puzzle.

Happy Monday everyone, we are starting the week off right! Wiring in the aerators, and testing them for proper function. One of the final steps before the ponds are filled.

Couple more ponds mowed this morning, just a few more things to get done and these will be ready for water. A lot more going on behind the scenes but will do my best to post what I can. Hope everyone is having a blessed week! 👍🏼

Day 3 filling up these ponds!!!
Gulf American Shrimp Farm located only 25 minutes north of the Gulf of America uses a special deep water well over 1000ft in the ground to extract that salty water straight from source. Sounds like freedom to me!!! 🇺🇸🦅🌊🦐

It is always a nerve-racking moment turning on the salt water well, we fear what if it does not pump? For us these photographs are just another reminder of how the good Lord provides. 🌊 🙏��🏼

We have also removed all of our feed distributors for servicing. Some of the things we have to service are new bearings, new radios, new computer boards… just to list a few. Also big news they are all getting a new type radio which is meant to pair with the microphone acoustic system which we will be running next season. The system will actually be able to hear the shrimp eating and feed accordingly for maximum growth!!
