Your Global Compounder of Custom Engineered Thermoplastics In-demand features give aquaculture organizations a revolutionary improvement in assessment techniques—with a little help from polymer science. For the commercial aquaculture industry and researchers alike, arduous “hand-counting and clicking” has long been the standard for assessing marine organisms such as shrimp, trout eggs, or algae in a sample of marine water. Grad student Valerie Robitaille thought that she had a significantly better way—an electronic device using light sensors and custom-computed, species-specific algorithms that could accurately size and count them in the sample automatically. However, in developing her application, XperCount, she and her team soon experienced a setback from an unexp
