Belize Aquaculture, Ltd

Since its formation in 1996, BAL has focused on the research and development of environmentally sustainable shrimp culture practices, utilizing improved breeding stocks, a strict no antibiotic or chemical usage protocol, environmental controls, and advanced culture systems to ensure biosecurity.

BAL demonstrated that the Pacific White Shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) could be cultured under bio-secure conditions, separating the farming activities from the surrounding environment, and achieving production levels of 10,000 pounds per acre per crop without the use of antibiotics or chemicals.
