The best known, I think is Nova,
novaco@btl.net

In 2004, I spent an interesting 20 min on the B&B bus from Ladyville to O'Walk chatting about the shrimp farming that Barry Bowen was doing. Very modern aquaculture, learned from the Japanese. I'm not sure that he's still doing it. There were some pollution issues (runoff) Their address is
cocacola@bowen.com.bz

There should be a website at bowen.com.bz but I couldn't get it to come up.

one armed charlie , was growing shrimp well before nova, who moved in about 4 miles away.

Yer way behind again Smelly. Nova is in receivership. Majority of the shrimp farms are down south. Barry is bigger than ever and very succesful.

" Dolphin Development also holds a 90%ownership interest in the Belize entity Triton Mariculture, Ltd., an entity which owned a shrimp farm in Belize and which has since been placed in receivership by Atlantic Bank Ltd"
