Lisa Smith, a lab technician at Planet Shrimp, performs water quality testing in the lab. Smith is part of a team of scientists at the indoor farm.
They track everything from how much the shrimp eat and the water temperature to the salinity and pH levels in each tank.
The operations team at Planet Shrimp, a 37,500-square-foot aquafarm in Aylmer, Ont., conduct frequent inspections of the tanks holding Pacific white shrimp in all stages of development from larvae to harvesting weight.
