Shrimp Farm
Shrimp Farm
The Happy Shrimp Farm is the first tropical shrimp farm in Europe. It is an example of a new eco-industrial company in the port of Rotterdam that benefits the economy and environment. The Happy Shrimp are very safe to eat. The whole farm is operated with the highest standards of food hygiene and quality. An ISO 22,000 system is implemented throughout the whole process. The baby shrimp come from broodstock farms in the Caribbean. These farms are certified and closed inland systems. In the future, the Happy Shrimp Farm will provide its own broodstock. The Happy Shrimp Farm is a closed recirculation system, which means nothing can enter or exit.
Greenhouse-enclosed farm is located on the dunes near the city of Rotterdam. It is co-sited near a power plant of E.ON Benelux utilizing the waste heat for warming the farm. The company was set-up in two years time by Bass & Gill BV. The management consists of Gilbert Curtessi, Bas Greiner and Job Munten.

Superfresh Shrimps


Happy Shrimp are the freshest shrimp available! In the morning they are still jumping and playing in the water with their shrimp friends while in the evening the Happy Shrimp are turned into delicious, high quality seafood dishes. The Happy Shrimp are shipped to you by the famous Rotterdam Schmidt Zeevis and delivered to various high quality restaurants.

Environment friendly


The Happy Shrimp Farm is heated with a heat-exchange system which is placed at the site of the E.ON Maasvlakte power plant. Using this heat exchanger we utilize waste heat that would otherwise be released into the air. The waste streams from the Happy Shrimp Farm are utilized in a biological filter bed. The Happy Shrimp Farm makes it possible for future generations to still enjoy the flavour and quality of good fresh shrimp while at the same time enjoying a clean and untouched environment.

Many of the existing shrimp farms in the southern hemisphere are polluting and use mangroves. This coastal wetland is the environment where many fish breed and lay their eggs. Happy Shrimp are produced in an environmentally friendly manner.

Social responsible


Know what you eat!! This requires transparency of the whole production. All ingredients and partners of the Happy Shrimp are checked and are socially responsible and happy. Aquaculture has great potential as the food production source of the future in this world. The activities of the Happy Shrimp Farm and Bass & Gill are not only about shrimp farming but also informing the general public about industrial ecology, sustainability, energy use, healthy food and enjoying life.
