>From WA Business News Down Under -- Mate -- on the web;

" Fremantle-based Cell Aquaculture Ltd has successfully produced its
first batch of fingerlings from its larval rearing system at James Cook
University, Townsville, Queensland. The first batch of Cell's own
fingerlings are ready to be transported to its vertically integrated
production systems in Tolbert in the Netherlands, and Centerville in
Mississippi, USA. Twenty thousand (20,000) 30-day old fingerlings,
each approximately 30 millimetres in length, will be shipped to the
joint venture grow-out facilities over the coming week. In February,
the company signed an operating agreement with Nevada-based aquaculture
company Delta Aquaculture Services LLC.
This year the company also purchased a 50 per cent interest in Delta
Aquaculture Services as part of its strategic plan to roll out its Cell
Aquaculture Barramundi System in the United States.

At 900 WST, shares in Cell Aquaculture were at 23 cents.
Below is the full announcement:

Fremantle-based Cell Aquaculture Ltd has successfully produced its
first batch of fingerlings from its larval rearing system at James Cook
University, Townsville, Queensland. Production of these fingerlings,
which have been cleared by QDPI&F for disease and export from
Queensland, means that the first batch of Cell's own fingerlings are
ready to be transported to its vertically integrated production systems
in Tolbert in the Netherlands, and Centeruille in Mississippi, USA.
Twenty thousand (20,000) 30-day old fingerlings, each approximately 30
millimetres in length, will be shipped to the joint venture grow-out
facilities over the coming week. Cell's production from the larval
rearing facility, which uses the unique passive grading system,
completes one of the final steps in the integrated production system
for barramundi in Australia, Europe and the USA. The successful
production of juvenile fish secures supply of fingerlings for the
European and USA operations with bi-monthly production scheduled for
fingerling export and sales."

I can find nothing online on freshwater shrimp larval -- well on wood
shrimp. Arnold got an aquaculture bill about him here in California --
not much press here in the US about it, nor aquaculture in general for
that matter. Such is life, for now.

I dream a day, when CA has got a game in the Senate Committee on
Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry. Not in the 109 Congress, for now.
It's the whole water thing, with the power and water board game, and
humpation relations with other states respective, for now. Thank
Enron. There will come a day, when CA gets with aquaculture, on a
more, intensive level. There will be days like this.
