Dec 9 : Dr Bill McGraw, a resident of Boquete for 4 years is going to present his research on hyper-intensive shrimp aquaculture in 5 countries over 15 years. Having experience growing shrimp at 10x the biomass currently produced in open air ponds, without any disease,  the information shows how exciting intellectual property was created that the current shrimp industry desperately needs to continue and become sustainable. Bill is offering potential investors of Boquete a chance to become part of a shift in paradigm that the shrimp aquaculture industry is about to engage in. This presentation will highlight Dr Bills work history that led to the creation of new, proven ideas that make shrimp aquaculture more sustainable and incredibly more profitable.
