- Experience.  Having produced its first crop in 1982, our Bayview site is the oldest continuously operating shrimp farm in the U.S.  Our hatchery was a pioneer in the development and sale of SPF and High Health shrimp and is recognized as a significant factor in the evolution of the industry in our hemisphere.
	- Eco- friendly.  Our grow-out team is responsible for many innovative techniques which have made our operation one of the most environmentally sensitive and responsible in the world.  Our establishment and use of wetlands was a factor in our receipt of the Environmental Stewardship Award by the National Fisheries Institute and the Ocean Trust. Our Loma Alta Aquaculture farm in Texas has been pioneering the use of wetlands to recycle pond water as well as to improve discharge water quality.  The capacities and management of the wetlands systems have been researched in partnership with Texas A&M Kingsville and all farm construction and management has been planned to minimize and environmental impacts.
	- Regulatory Oversight.  As domestic producers our operations are strictly regulated by eight separate federal agencies.  In fact, our farms have been used as models for some of these agencies in determining regulatory parameters.  When it comes to protecting the health and safety of our people, only shrimp raised under these strict protocols can give you and your customer the assurance that you are buying a safe, healthy and wholesome product.
	- Quality.  By controlling every aspect of our shrimps existence from egg to you, we provide you the finest shrimp available.  After being chill killed at harvest, and maintaining strict temperature control, our shrimp goes directly to the processing facility to ensure that we are always providing our customers the freshest, best tasting, and most wholesome shrimp there is.
	- Physical Diversity.  To maximize bio-security, minimize environmental impact, and ensure our ability to supply our customers, we have diversified our grow-out operation to 3 separate locations in South Texas. - Continuous Improvement.  We feel that no matter how good you are, there is always room for improvement and we constantly  strive to do things better.   Our long-standing relationship with Texas A&M, the University of Texas and the U.S. Marine Shrimp Farming Program has enabled us to play a key role in research projects that have broken new ground in cleaner, more efficient and environmentally responsible processes.
