Countries that use extensive antibiotics that could make you ill now techno goes inside the federal Testing Program american food. Thats supposed to protect the food supply doctors should be some are is mechanical engineer she will share the results of her investigation to how dangerous is that for human beings and im phil torres im an entomologist visit a shrimp farm in the middle of indiana yes indiana that could revolutionize the industry well this is like a Little Laboratory here yes it is. A terrorist santa maria is a neuroscientist. Imagine that you are one of the 1st to take a trip to mars. This is the definition of pioneering thats what makes it exciting thats our team now lets do some science. Yes. Hey guys welcome to techno on phil tours joined by dr shu some are in karas santa maria because im not going to one of my favorite things is shrimp sizzling away on a hot grill but i also have a fair amount of hesitation when it comes to actually knowing where the trouble comes from and you may not realize it but shrimp raised overseas can have high levels of antibiotics and other additives that dont always pass American Safety standards and america imports a lot of shrimp ira 1000000000 pounds worth so we asked the food and Drug Administration the Agency Responsible for policing us ports if we could follow them while they test for unsafe shipments. America has a jumbo appetite for shrimp its a little piece of flesh that they could be easy its kind of like popcorn of the sea americans its an average of 4 pounds per pass a year. At fred 62. 00 and no sanjays chef fred eric says a lot of shrimp its very difficult as a chef or restaurant or to buy shrimp with the confidence that what youre serving them is going to be good ty cobbs right which. Americans taste comes with a price. 90 percent of only shrimp eaten in the u. S. Is imported. Much of it from countries like india thailand and indonesia sometimes trip is raised overseas using production drugs like antibiotics that are proof for use in those countries but not approved for use in the u. S. Johns hopkins microbiologist david love surveyed federal data on drugs found in imported shrimp some of the top drugs that we found in shrimp were im sure if youre and. And i call tetracycline. And instructed my son what does it mean for the consumer to be exposed to antibiotic resistant bacteria if you get an infection from these bacteria it can be hard to treat using antibiotics especially if these bacteria are resistant to the antibiotics that your doctor would prescribe. For bombs that use antibiotics often farm with overcrowded diseases are a big deal in term farming can be a high mortality rate and some farms. The food and Drug Administration polices shrimp imports. 5500000000. 00 pounds the thing it is imported into the United States every year and much of it ends up in a cold Storage Facility like this one in Southern California but only a tiny fraction of all of that seafood is actually inspected so weve come here today to find out exactly how the f. D. A. Emily morrison is a veteran f. D. A. Inspector weve collected one subsample of 15. Boxes and now in the process bag them. Put them in coolers. And ship it to the lab a Computer System red flags imports believed to pose the greatest risk based on country of origin and the companys past history of violations. By nature is a high risk. Lease hence inspections at the ports of los angeles so there are many boxes here packed full what percentage of the sample gets chosen to be taken to the lab so review all electronic transmission. We utilize things like foreign inspection domestic inspection whether it was sampled and another for all that information is gather within the predict application and then that shipment will be given a risk or the higher the risk or the more chances one of these officers will sample that much at. Once the f. D. A. Inspectors have picked some pills for inspection and sent to an f. D. A. Lab like this one and find california. You may be assured they are getting all the. Good i can imagine because the shrimp is mixed with a chemical solvent dried and liquefied again run through an animal. Is an f. D. A. Chemist so kind the results are in from the tests what are they showing us in this closed compound working for sponsored programs and how dangerous is that for human beings virtual current is dangerous for human beings because its cost some of the night. Before now so for this hour one of the earlier one cause of this improvement are going for one salt. Good sized swimming. So how many parts per 1000000000 is this result i was is about 1000. 00 true cost of building so 2. 00 grains and so in the olympic sized pool and youve managed to find it out by now thats incredible and so that batch of strand is not allowed in this country essentially this is not going to be a large discount from the f. D. A. Simply isnt testing enough on the imported market to really find all of these violent of residues dr rangan headed a study of imported shrimp for the june 2015 issue of the influential magazine Consumer Reports of the 205 imported farm say. Impulse that we found a leaven of those actually had illegal residues of antibiotics on them that comes out to about 5 percent of the imported farm shrimp samples being contaminated with an illegal antibiotic residue the fact that the f. D. A. Only tests about point 7 percent of all the shrimp in this country for those antibiotic residues suggests that the agency is not actually testing enough shrimp to catch the amount of illegal residue products that may be coming into the market however many of the countries that export the shrimp permit the use of antibiotics when you feed low levels of antibiotics every day youre not feeding them enough to necessarily kill bacteria those bacteria can become resistant to those antibiotics and that can make those antibiotics less effective in people if were infected by those bacteria just as worrisome was the number of shrimp that tested positive for bacteria we found about a 3rd of the shrimp that we had had vibrio contamination vibrio is one of the few food borne illnesses on the rise 7 of the samples we found had mercy thats concerning too and thats probably primarily associated with the amount of processing that goes on the Shrimp Production both have the potential to cause illness to the cooking process they can be killed we do know that there are shrimp farms and Shrimp Production practices that are doing a lot more to address those issues that are addressing hygiene and addressing other issues so that they arent heavily reliant on drugs or other chemicals. 600 miles from the nearest ocean. Windmills and soybean and corn fields. Indiana home to. Mom and pop indoor salt water shrimp for. Their own theyre over and im struggling now. Welcomed r. T. After travis county. Carlina and daryl brown are accidental shrimp farming pioneers are you going to now 6 pounds with 32. 00 dozen basic Backyard Pools as growing tanks theyve perfected an indoor system with 0 waste no chemicals in the 90 percent survival rate. Thats a 3rd higher than traditional outdoor shrimp farms well this is like a Little Laboratory here yes it is in the short form yes it is we do 9 tests every single day we do temperature dissolved oxygen night child c o 2 salinity alkalinity ph ammonia and flop as you can see our water is brown the test were doing here right now is were trying to see how much bacteria is in our water and we call the settling so youre basically waiting for all those bacteria to go to the bottom and that tells you how much is in how much we have an exact like air for over a certain level then we have to get it out of the tanks otherwise its going to start suffocating the strap thats very important that has to be done every day basically were not even farmers anymore we ask ourselves guardians of water as long as the water does what its supposed to be doing the trick to just fine we add no antibiotics no hormones are ever added into our tanks you heard that right no antibiotics no hormones just fish food salt and baking soda its called a head root trophic by a flock system a process that revolves around bacteria no it looks very grown what is this brown that im seeing the ground is the bacteria the bacteria is why they sell their way so that they can survive without a major filter heres whats happening below the surface the shrimp eat their feed in excrete ammonia the bacteria turns that into talks ignite troitsky other bacteria turn that into benign nitrates and as the waters air raided the nitrates turn into a harmless gas and around and around how long have you had this water for years and how does. Compared to other short forms most of dont have water that law we by mistake actually kept our water its like its maturing its like one now does and we just found out that the older it gets the better it gets and so too for the shrimp the growing process starts every month with about 250000. 00 newborns called post marbles nicknamed peels now were going to show you about r p ls and when they come in theyre the size of an eye last so its hard to see inside this water how many shrimp are actually in there we stock about 17000 each one of my 6 tanks there so with all these tubes coming down those are airlines that adds the oxygen and their oxygen and keeps everything in suspense in because if this stuff settles ill have 20 minutes and then 20 minutes i meant maybe that everything here seems so precise it has to be its Mother Nature will it is Mother Nature but with a lot of hope from a mother in indiana and i noticed theres foam on top what is this foam foam is mostly c o 2 mixing with their feed that just comes to the top and it will actually disappear so its part of the process as part of the process. Yeah its wrong. Because. This is what you see in the supermarket when you get a shrimp down as they said they can be frozen with a hat on theyre very translucent and one of the characteristics we actually look for mine say the long and 10 is 1000 theyre happy. That theyre intended to start their fest now they begin seeing here this is their only protection and these mad right now that mouthpiece have these very angry at me as well horn yeah that if you can look right where your thumb is that thats where part is that also you can see is part being. A month later theyre promoted to the Production Team with the turn in to dinner they are. Already have you know you have to keep dont you would. Yes they. Are you say in on the best. Brown so about 500. 00 pounds directly to walk ins each month at 18. 00 thank you very mad to think they. Devotional sold their know how to 2 dozen start up forms in the u. S. As well as ones in switzerland and spain these companies are really innovators theyre trying out new technology Johns Hopkins microbiologist david love studies true production he gives the production like the bronze a high grade with one caviar one that could ultimately make or break in the Business World a lot of these farms my start out with a bang but then fizzle after a few years because they dont make money for the browns shrimp farming is paying off no financial fizzle only sizzle as the business continues to grow as it already is just a back but the proof of their success is what ends up on the plate in this case innovation tastes pretty good when served with the profit motive so you would. Know i still cant get over the fact that possibly the cleanest and arguably the best shrimp in the world may come from the middle of indiana so i guess im. In the table looks a little gross i get that but its chemistry in there and good in results is really good theres a global problem with using a lot of antibiotics in farming the more antibiotics used the more were going to start seeing antibiotic resistant super bugs it happens in agribusiness here in the us it happens overseas and it even happens in medical practice you know a lot of people ask why should we care if theres some superbug that can infect shrimp how does that affect us but what they found is that bacteria can actually swap genes so potentially if the bacteria. That in fact shrimp becomes resistant it could swap the genes into a bacteria that infects us and so that resistance me passed on and the amounts of you know millions of pounds of antibiotics are being used around the world not just in trim but in cattle and poultry as well that is going to catch up to us when it hits or health care so yeah its called a its called a spillover event its not infection its an infection that happens in an animal species and then just like that a human can get infected too and its been the source of most deadly diseases that medicine cant keep up with and thats where you look at the numbers could we have a 1000000000 pounds getting imported here only 2 percent actually gets inspected what about the other 90 percent its important to have confidence in the system moving forward if were going to keep eating shrimp and the inspection process missing brandon i mean the amount of ship in that came investors will actually made it into a lab is tiny care what you have coming up for us next you have really interesting story now imagine that you are one of the 1st pioneers to take a trip to mars but also imagine that youre not allowed to come home its a one way trip which you guys do at. I met a woman who is already signed up and shes raring to go. For decades humanity has been fascinated with a manned expedition to mars. This is. The definition of pioneering. That doesnt scare here thats what makes it exciting robotic pioneers like mars curiosity rover have been crawling around the cratered landscape uncovering clues. About whether this distant planet can sustain life as we know it do you have the right stuff have the right stuff jamie del rosario is a 27 year old entrepreneur and c. E. O. Of the International Metal source a Raw Materials company that supplies metals to Aerospace Companies like space x. And Lockheed Martin she is one of 100 candidates that has been selected by mars one a private company that wants to colonize the red planet the catch theres no return flight home what do you say to people when they say jamie this is a Suicide Mission why are you doing it call it as i said mission but its something that i chose im creating my own destiny for myself and and if its a destiny that would help humanity. Im all for it. According to mars 11. 00 of the main goals of the project is to establish an interplanetary species to preserve the human race. I want to contribute directly to mankinds call for the expansion of the solar system which we have to look for point to stronger than the one she made it to the top 100 the 3rd round of a Selection Process mars one says started with 200000 online applicants ultimately 24. 00 crew members will be chosen. Do you think that anybody with enough training could be. Common astronaut i believe that if you have. The motivation and its terminations of of wanting to do it you can a mission to mars is obviously no simple matter pasadena california is home to the mars program at nasa is jet Propulsion Laboratory nasa has taken the man to the moon and back but theyve approached this journey with a much more deliberate and rigorous training program. Im now on the base on mars and i will give you a little tour in 20156 volunteer scientists walked out of a dome on the side of a hawaiian volcano after being locked away by nasa for 8 months this was a simulated experiment of what life on mars would be like coexisting is one challenge getting there and surviving is an entirely different endeavor landing on mars is still pretty well sometimes it can be quite a terrifying play. Dr Richard Zurek is the chief scientist for the mars program at nasa as jet Propulsion Laboratory a lot of things have to happen right right know we fly into the atmosphere we have would he choose the protection but were also trying to slow down so that we can land softly. Were talking about a very different scale of endeavor were landing a metric ton down on the planet today we think for Human Missions to get stuff down on the surface that they can use that they can be there for a long period of time that means 4050 metric tons thats a lot of material today we dont know how to land on mars one has come under critical fire for their project primarily due to funding issues and for reports of recording the mission for Reality Television show. In march 2015 c. E. O. Basilan store took to you tube to respond they are currently selling our documentary series to international brawls costs or theres no deal in place yet but its looking very promising theres a lot of interest when we really fell you are good criticism about our mission because it helps us to improve our mission also tells techno quote there are less serious critics who are only interested to sabotage our mission for example by lying but even if. This nonprofits Mission Never launches nasa is laying the groundwork today this is very much in the mode there are going to be humans on mars were in the 1st stages of trying to understand what it takes to actually be able to explore with humans on the surface of the planet weve made a good start for everybody program 1st its to get down there see what the planet is like that those 1st explorers out there on the surface in that we can see what the future holds not in a 1000000 years but i want to go and colonize mars i mean theres so many risks its so frightening to me what is the value thats different from me and probably from most of the People Living on this planet who are afraid to go some people just have different goals and missions i want to do something that would change the world or help the world so if you are selected to go to mars do you foresee yourself getting married on mars having children id say that. Is you know interesting because it will happen do you think thats going to be a part of your training i would think so i mean thats something that we cannot shying away from because were the new frontiers of colony and i think another part in the solar system are you scare leaving earth behind i will miss it everybody is trying to get smart and i think what stands out with my swan is a permanent settlement and i think this is the time now. So im really interested you guys would you sign up for a one way mission to mars i wouldnt you wouldnt mind where i am i would possibly but i dont think i would sign up for this one way mission the mars jeweler through history so many pioneers and explorers were to be fair a little bit crazy and sometimes they succeeded but other times they didnt but it always will push progress forward just a little bit through how i think the merit of this project is the fact that the goal lives to try to be able to to achieve living on mars and the result of having a go at night which is extremely ambitious is the amount of technology thats going to be developed you know just crazy inventions and innovations that are going to come out of a kind of pie in the sky its your doubts have you know i think weve talked sustaining life on other planets versus sustaining life if youre wrong earths really interesting topics today guys so thank you for them well have a lot more of these stories next on here in techno well see you then.
