Shrimp Farms May be the Next Big Aquaculture Thing

Recently, shrimp surpassed tuna as the most-consumed seafood in the United States.

Most of it's produced in Southeast Asia, India, Mexico and Brazil.

Russ Allen wants to change that.

He's opened one of the world's few indoor shrimp farms.

Allen says his operation meets an obvious market demand, is good for the environment, and presents a new economic opportunity for the country.
