Cargill opens new aqua research facility

The environmentally controlled facility consists of multiple research systems
capable of handling a wide range of research objectives, including feeding
trials using either freshwater or saltwater animals of various sizes and at a
range of salinities and temperatures. Initial feeding trials will use tilapia
and hybrid-striped bass. However, longer-term projects will include catfish as
well as shrimp and other saltwater species.

Cargill officials said they
anticipate that the facility will be able to host up to a dozen major
aquaculture studies annually.
