LA COSTE, Texas, Dec. 1, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- NaturalShrimp Incorporated (OTCQB: SHMP) (the "Company"), a global eco-friendly producer of shrimp grown in technologically unique indoor saltwater facilities, has filed a follow-on patent with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office around its Recirculating Aquaculture System and Treatment Method for Aquatic Species.

This proprietary technology is patent pending and is being issued alongside the Company's technology partner, F&T Water Solutions.  It supersedes and improves the Company's provisional patent originally filed in November of 2015.  This patent covers the Company's base process of growing healthful, naturally-grown shrimp, without the use of chemicals and/or antibiotics.  Furthermore, this patent also covers additional species of aquaculture which may be produced in the future and allows the Company to work towards its goal of creating facilities that have a "zero footprint" on the surrounding environments.

NaturalShrimp's President, Gerald Easterling, commented, "We continue to improve our technology and processes to grow commercial quantities of shrimp in a land-based environment.  We anticipate additional enhancements in the near future from our previously announced agreements."  Mr. Easterling also added, "We expect to announce deployment of the prototype system based on this patent in the next few weeks at our La Coste facility."
