Russ Allen, a former Galapagos Island tour boat operator, is using cutting edge seafood technology to expand his Okemos-based Seafood Systems business.
According to excerpts from the article:
“There’s probably three or four other people in the United States working on this technology, maybe the same amount other places around the world,” Allen says. “It really is the cutting edge of technology worldwide.”

“Our primary focus here is not to produce shrimp for a market,” Allen says. “It’s to develop the technology to do this.”
