Game Changing – Custom live seafood shipping containers designed to expand markets

February 19, 2016 Canada, International News

Two Nova Scotia companies are teaming up to transport live seafood around the world using what they call a method. BioNovations offers multiple sizes of its specialized live seafood shipping containers. (BioNovations) Antigonish-based BioNovations has created a self-regulating holding crate it says will enable a smooth transition for live seafood, such as crab and lobster, and reduce the shipping mortality rate.
