Ace Aquatec’s new A-HSU for Shrimp is a small, self- contained, transportable system for stunning crustaceans prior to slaughter which has been adapted and developed in collaboration with shrimp producers.
The entire unit is mounted on a small trailer, which allows the unit to be moved easily from factory to pond-side. The unit has been designed to withstand robust biosecurity measures and protocols and can process at a rate up to eight tonnes per hour.
"Shrimp producers globally have been calling for a versatile, easy-to-deploy system which can simultaneously make the harvesting process more sustainable and efficient, while also improving quality and streamlining logistics. Working closely with the industry to further understand their needs, we have created a unique product that can be used both in factories and pond-side, and we expect to see it enhance operations for shrimp farmers, both in Thailand and at further installation sites in the future," said Tara McGregor-Woodhams, chief sales and marketing officer at Ace Aquatec, in a press release.
Through a partnership with the Shrimp Welfare Project, Sea Farms - a Thailand-based shrimp farming company - is the first in the region to deploy the new portable system. The Shrimp Welfare Project continues to engage with leading supermarkets, seafood suppliers and producers to explore opportunities for further installations of stunning systems, with Ace Aquatec’s technology as one of the available solutions.
