Production-scale pond research with commercial shrimp producers in Southeast Asia.
In Vietnam, PHP37 research moved to full production scale with commercial shrimp farms. Treated ponds were found to come back to health and stay productive — supporting shrimp that were larger, more abundant, and of higher quality at harvest. For an industry where one bacterial event can erase a season, that resilience is the whole game.
Aquaculture lives and dies by its water. Research on biofilm formation — the microbial colonization of surfaces in tanks, pipes, and processing systems — demonstrated the platform's ability to keep the water infrastructure of a farm working the way it was designed to.
Aquaculture is among the fastest-growing sources of protein on earth, and its producers face rising pressure on both disease and chemical use. A low-dose, water-soluble platform with completed OECD toxicology testing is exactly the kind of tool the industry has been asking for, and it enters the commercial roadmap as registrations are secured.
