09/12/13: Sustainable aquaculture in Shepherdstown; shrimp farm closes down due to theft; new cold store in Spain

Located off the back roads of Shepherdstown, West Virginia, USA lies a research lab which houses a tank filled with 40,000 gallons of water and 5,000 Atlantic salmon. 

The research lab is the beating heart of the Freshwater Institute - an internationally recognised program of The Conservation Fund.

Conducting research into sustainable aquaculture, the staff at the Freshwater Institute hatch salmon eggs and grow the salmon to harvest size. The fish are sold to a West Coast seafood marketer who ships them to restaurants in Toronto and British Columbia.
