our industry partner, is operating the largest indoor shrimp aquaculture facility in Canada (260,000 square foot_x000D_
state of the art facility). With the implementation of several innovative aquaculture approaches, Planet Shrimp_x000D_
Inc. has the potential to disrupt inland aquaculture practices and become the premier shrimp aquaculture hub in_x000D_
Canada. We propose to use plant based terpenoid compounds as a feed supplement to enhance and promote_x000D_
shrimp reproduction. Research performed as part of this project will provide preliminary data on this novel_x000D_
approach in that it will 1) identify target compounds suitable for this approach and 2) provide data on the_x000D_
effectiveness of dietary sources of these compounds on reproduction. Specifically, a benchmark analysis of_x000D_
reproduction in treated shrimp will allow the comparison of this approach with the common industry practice_x000D_
of eyestalk ablation (ESA. Ontario provides a unique opportunity for growth and development of inland_x000D_
