' '¥@ THE OSHAWA TIMES, Wed: Inesdey, September 12, 1962 BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT Prairie Shrimp Season Active WATROUS, Sask. (CP) -- A t fleet of five has been bobbing across the salty waters of Little Manitou Lake near here this summer netting the material for a new Prairie industry. Hundreds of miles inland, the 1Smile-long lake and this east central Saskatchewan town are the scene of brine shrimp fish- ing and packaging operations. The shrimp. are not for hu. man consumption. Resembling in size and shape the thick end of a toothpick, they are only * one-half inch long at the end of their 18-month-long life 'Dele. They are used as food for trop- ical fish. The rich harvest has been ex- ploited for the first time this summer, by the newly formed Wardley Brine Shrimp Com- pany which has va eae rights for 10 years. BEST IN WORLD Frank Debeve, manager of the company, said Little Mani- tou is one of two salt water lakes in North America with enough shrimp to make a com- mercial enterprise possible. He describes the saline waters as being the most abundantly en- dowed in the world. "The shrimp catch is brought to the company's plant here, packaged in plastic and quick- frozen for shipment to world markets, | The other part of the com-) pany's operation is the gather- ing of brine shrimp eggs which are scooped from the shore where an on-shore breeze has piled them. WALK ON EGGS | "There is no natural sand at Manitou and visitors who have thought they were walking on sand were actually treading on) billions of shrimp eggs which| lie up to five inches deep. | OFFICIAL LANGUAGE Although Hebrew is the offi- cial language of Israel, provi- sion is made in the Knesset (Parliament) for simultaneous ja point, Shovelled into sacks and aged for two months, they are then separated from the mud by a flotation process. Skimmed from the surface, they are dried, separated from their shells then packaged. "Because of the highly re- stricted competition in this field the world market demand for our products is far greater than our ability to produce at pres- ent," said Mr. Debeve. The company plans a $150,000 expansion program within the next year. to enable it to start manufacture of other lines of fish food products. The expan- sion would mean a full-time la- bor force of 15 persons. In the four-month shrimp season 25 to 35 are employed.
