ah, welcome to tech told me about hackers, paralyzed me to your societies, computers than elsewhere. you and governments that go crazy for your data. we explain how these technologies work, how they can go sim for and that's how they can also go terribly. watch it now on tune with ah, the german shrimp industry is floundering low prices during the coven 19 pandemic, and increased fuel costs are threatening the fishes livelihoods. they're dependent on the dutch wholesalers. they supply those hello,

the wholesalers know exactly what they need so they can dictate the price the key because they just do what they want with us. christine clayvon, engineer from fi slanted northern germany is developing a modern trump peeling machine, which stands to liberate german fishes from their dependence on dutch wholesalers the hub. yet the shell is burst open by sound waves. that's the trick here, pentagon ah, almost every night mike mushed at, takes his boat out to the coastal waters north of claim a half and he's under enormous pressure. he's and very little in the last 3 years and narrowly escaped bankruptcy. he even considered selling his boat, but no one wants to get into the industry right now. his fishing towards now,

i could relay the nets and they've been trolling the watches for an hour and a half here along what's called the buttons. see, the water is just a few me to steep. they're hoping for a better catch than what they've had in recent months. they go, we've got a decent catch here. oh boy. woody. oh, wow, looks pretty good. we've got 3 or 4 crates here. i'd say like one really wow, they're big ones. well the thought and i've heard of our conveyor belt is down today. it's an electrical problem or vice florida. that's not something i want to mess with. i won't try to

fix it myself. on the voicemail i called the electrician earlier, but he'll probably come on wednesday wasn't quite caught. we'll have to manage without for a couple of days. hika has to shovel in this shrimp by hand shrunk. prices had already fallen in 2019. then came the pandemic. when locked downs and other restrictions affected, the fishing season, retail demand dropped on the bill for white glove over 3 years now we've been living off our savings. somebody. nissan obama. it's not exactly from hand to mouth, but it's been getting worse and worse little tool and mid october, our steering system broke and the repairs cost me $10000.00 euros. i've been told all of the old game, most of the level of war owned for them. and then in late november, the auxiliary engine broke. one moment, let me pull that was another 30000 euros. gone. bill was last winter really sucked until

i ca separates the bi catch from the shrimp smaller fish and starfish. go back into the sea. the fishes fish off when the tide is high and stay out at sea for 12 hours. mike went returned from his turn until sunrise and he calls fall. we come on on the one i'm out on the water. there's no stress. it's just me, i'm a, i'm, i'm the, i'm the one who plans when to go out. if you're on your own and you're free, well, pretty much all you need to keep calm. stress is no use to anyone. lot of an old bravado. you can't catch shrimp by force divided. come on, all kind of trim trolling is hard work. the shrimp up boiled live and see water directly on the boat. let's say

they taste the best fancy of you to see these spots turning white here. that means they're done off. that's when the meat starts to separate from the shell . after boiling the flesh tens pink or red, it's why the shrimp are sometimes called red gold. but the shrimp need to be peeled fast. most of the catch goes to the netherlands, where it's then send to shelling plants in morocco. they appealed by hand and end up back on the european monkeys. the smallest fish and pieces of shell assisted out by vibrating says it's a good start. several crates full and one whole is unusual. mike and hike. i won't let in on where they caught these. the other fishes out to nice. we'll have to find their own fishing grounds themself. i've all

i go. how much do you have? 03 crates. great. like this. 3 crates, that's nearly $400.00 euros. a fuel at all. we'll all have a grade for one and a half hours work before i'm happy. it makes going out worth it holds it almost 10 hours later they've hold up the next 5 more times. they filled 11 crates . one of their best catches of the year. ah ah, by now they 20 kilometers off the coast. time to head back to

mike tallies up the nights, catch. it's an excellent night's work. o 2. it's while no dies you 130 kilos today. oh good. that was great. i'm happy with all now i'm off to bed. the load i'll head out again. tonight is the totals ah, for that speak, a noise felt can only be navigated at high tide. that's when the fishing tool is head in a dutch wholesale. it already has the refrigerated truck waiting to take the swim to then next destination waldorf eugenio snuck hawksoft. they're headed to cooks hoffman to be sorted, preserved and packed on the wheels. and then they'll go to the netherlands orland gisela hollow from there i imagine they'll go on to morocco game of little and

they'll be back here in 4 weeks. oh, no with right fresh caught he then the molecules indic appeal to morocco. i think because wages are low as they're owned by doc, can just take the saw process and we freeze the shrimp there. those docile you don't. that's not allowed here in germany long so that he couldn't do that. here. marlins did a puzzle volkswagen. they normally set the price at the auction. it's a question of supply and demand more also, and the wholesalers know what they need no visible. that's why they always dictate the price more the key handling moto rash lemma. worst thing is, you start fishing and monday, which you don't find out the price until friday. they can do whatever they want with us. then make a profit either way. give them a grade. ah, the ton of outcome in the netherlands has been europe's from capital since the 19 ninety's. most north,

the shrimp are sent here and then shipped on to morocco. the gold trim company operates one of the country's largest sourcing plants, shrimp from denmark, germany and the netherlands, assorted by size and pack for transport. the netherlands is keen to support its domestic fish and shrimp industry. more so than germany, glove at all, since opening his and shelling plant in morocco, my taste funded plan has built up a monopoly and become a shrimp millionaire. together with his son, he is one of the largest buyers of german shrimp. and his familiar with the complaints of german fishes about low prices. tom sylvia, they pay a price, they hope will motivate the shrimp fisher store to stay in the harbor. but to go back out to see and the but i desire when the price is too high, people who eat shrimp that don't buy them anymore and that's, that's how it is much all the mostly of all the has to pay more,

but i'll be pushing down the price looking at about 50 years ago, marty's funded plus sent his 1st shipment of shrimp by truck to a purpose built shedding plant in morocco. soon he drew more investors to day more than 5. i wasn't him for years, work for the dutch industry. that gives dutch wholesalers an edge. and dutch fishes also have a better deal than all on behalf of the homes in the netherlands. we have shrimp fishers who catch large volumes and they make good money. they all are the dutch fishers always follow the shrimp moment, gunners at the moment the best characters are in denmark, only carmel think they can go out fishing at wind force of 7 or 8 only the germans have smaller boats and can't go out at wind for 7 or 8 and they be risking their lives and is as slaves prevailed. funny, cliff used to be

a shrimp wholesaler himself, but he sold his shares long ago, making him a multi millionaire pipeline. the company he co founded is the biggest in the shrimp industry to day. they are shedding plants and morocco have helped them dominate the european market. but the company was not willing to grant us an interview. ah, transition in the north german harbor of gleam and have smaller vessels, they net only around a quarter as much shrimp as they dutch competitors. all of schmidt hoped to retire last year, but couldn't find a buyer for his chola. he put in a double shift to day to help compensate for the losses of the last 3 months. the past 3 years have been the worst crisis he's experienced over

a 40 year career. prices are too low. the fishing season was restricted and the catch was poor. i think it 10 crates in 24 hours of fishing. i should have caught twice as much during that time. it is like just to break even a bit of it will reason, recalls go from i'm going home now off to bed. it's rental 1st be taken to produce is association and cooks often. and then on to the netherlands with his brothers and me and his friend hall, if he sells a small portion of his catch directly to tourists and locals. it's an important source of extra income. i live one kilo

mine of holiday, my wife called yesterday. thoughtful. right, so you want a kilo right, like hulu and a half. i remember the, let's zanik optic that if we hadn't had this last year, we would have earned a lot less. 05, we didn't earn much anyway if you could with an offer, but we sold a bit more directly and at the price, they're actually worth nothing. they cost $10.00 euros, and if someone says that's too expensive for me, fine. but i'll be your from, i'll to, i'm going, as i told a customer once i need to make a living from this, you can go and buy a brought worst for 3 years. if you like. if you have a choice, i don't most of them understand that hallmark the 5 over the let's feel another one . then i'll be there always good hello. fresh his best into every day, i'm going to untie the gas guns like squeezed,

gently here at the tail and pull it off of it. then you have the meat that was with us. got with 4th ring up from the tail bullets and about a 100 other fishes founded the producers association almost 10 years ago. together with manager chi honest schmidt, they want to make german shrimpers more independent from the dutch and gain is say in the price. but there shrimps still have to be sent to morocco for painting. so gaining independence from the dutch wholesalers has eluded them. the dutch still set the prices, transport this room to morocco. have them peeled their ship them back to europe and sell them. the german produce is association hasn't been able to break this

monopoly that you let's name is in grandma, our goal ultimately is to market our shrimp ourselves or does then we could for instance, fried some shrimp when they're cheap and sell them when they're more expensive on stuff on that home old. so we had 100000 euro starter capital. and wanted to turn that 100000 euros equity into an investment of 2.5 to 3000001. so 1st you need to find a bank that has faith and you are there for the advantage as i see it. which of course to partner doesn't care about as much out of as that are. association is now debt free via and we're on the way to raising our next round of equity. so we can take the next step i want to lagging and through hopefully through a bit of one thing about fisher says they are impatient to gain fuss at fisher or fight it is fishers in a patient by nature and expect results 1st told he would have opted schnell or

visual tartar, an engineer from friesland is also involved in the attempt to gain more independence from the dutch and they partners in morocco. christine clever estron fish. his daughter is a mechanical engineer. she wrote her master's thesis on trim shelling to this day. it's a process that has defined automation in speak, annoy, felt she's inspecting one of the few shrimp peeling machines in operation. the machine has never been used on a larger scale. this selling machine works mechanically. it opens the shelves with round thin blades, but can only peal around 60 killers of shrimp an hour. an employee has to

remain at the machine to handle malfunctions and to check the product. otherwise, too many shrimp and up and peeled in the waste container. christine clever is now developing a new machine that's far more efficient. it does not have to be constantly monitored and will be able to process up to a ton of shrimp per hour. this would be the 1st time that machine shinning could work on a large scale video yet. and this is a handful of the waste which comes out of the machine engineer. the thought it should only really be shell parts fine. he has a rock, but here we have one that wasn't completely separated from it shell under shadow here and he is another with the meat is still on it. on hank, as you see that the yield is extremely low, which makes it unappealing. mac type will act ocoee as

a valid al machine is designed to work with the shrimps, resistant sob, either or impedance, as a physicist would say, hi, this is father, either iraq and i to be the standard. this resistance can be overcome by sound waves. that's the trick behind this on this machine to him. so you still have to peel some of the shrimp by hand. christine klivis, invention would eliminate that. she's convinced that using special sound waves to crack, the shells would be more reliable to longest. come as long as we have the shrimp, the mechanical shelling is better for a company. and the demand for shrimp is they're gone up like they're mostly for tourists and hotels. right. oh, like mostly for private buyers. they come to us because they don't want shrimp. that's been shipped halfway around the world of us with us. it's an issue for a lot of people. the transport and its impact on defense will be the same.

deferring as of a wine, we don't want to be cheaper. the morocco shrimp is still a product that's worth its price, that we know the fishes don't earn what they should on buffy becomes our. our goal is for the fishes to make a bit more money. and the quality of the ship mate will be better than the product from morocco because we don't have to do as much to preserve the meat. if we do the shelling right here, we have much more awful. then she may think about it. the shrimp for morocco, a preserved and liquid, so they keep for 6 months, that's the preservatives. they just don't taste like real shrimp anymore. we can bring the original flavor back. christine clave as 1st model is promising. now she wants to build an optimized prototype, but key parts are in short supply and there is another unexpected obstacle out the home is the reason i can't,

and i don't want to show our machine at the moment is, although the german patent is secure. we also applied for european one, a notice of opposition was filed last year, but we were able to ward that off corn. then the next notice of opposition came in 35. the question that springs to mind is, who was working with these lawyers. wouldn't give it a valid we're pretty sure it's one of the major competitors, not home on the huge and the fishing business is f as i and they have the resources to keep filing notices emitted as a life big answer when she's now getting support from the state of lois saxony and the tune and institute of c. fisheries in play, ma, half as state research project provided her with 2300000 euros in funding . now a team of 7 is working to optimize the machine to be as last night and maritime

sociologist believes the project could have enormous benefits for the region. to handle spear home can differ shots from thought. shrimp fisher's had next to no leeway at the moment to respond to crisis, to sneak dollar. that's because they have no choice who they sell their shrimp to the north seas. shrimp abo multi got need a quote, the most of it goes to this quality monopoly on us most if they have an alternative have supported by an effective new showing technology not and a regional value chain, then part of that catch could be sold that way. else technic, another you know, that shop was good. contra, i'm tired, it may be one day we could have smaller showing facilities right near the harbor sensitive liners and she looks on little little calling here from stockton gibson. what does this info or what might be more economically efficient? one large regional showing, planted with a larger production line route on our course when federal senior within 3 years,

they hope these plans will become a reality. the sand banks of that in see stretch out for miles into the open voices. they offer unique habitat, for scenes bets, shrimp, and other creatures. ah, the passions formed by the no seas. ebb and flow are only visible at low tide. with fishes have adapted to the rhythm of the tides. ah, high tide is when they returned to the harbour. home at last. mike and high call once you get to bed soon, so they can head out to sea again to night. but before that, they make a shrimp salad for a late breakfast with kevin, a. fisher from a neighboring village. we bow onions quart gurkin and trem. that's all.

just add salt and pepper. hiker and kevin both come from fishing families. only mike comes from a different background. he trained as a painter before he discovered his passion for the c on the north sea holiday. the world, but his doubts about his future as a fisher are growing. the whole is the new shrimp peeling machine a ray of hope. oh, well, they're still developing it and it's light on the 4th. oh shoot, let me play with. the main thing is that our pattern doesn't go to the netherlands, you know why? but otherwise, we'll never be in charge of our own business woman. we need to get a bit of monopoly going to hold on. if not the dutch will control everything same as always in the netherlands. fishers are valued, but not here in germany. they like to keep you small here, you might say weak and powerless. so to pretty much are the german government does nothing for fishing on the country. probably,

but none of them are optimistic about the future. food on many fishes have been bankrupted by the crisis of the recent years. those who are left like mike face a tough battle christine clever, is paying a visit to her parents here in the north of germany. her father, gunter clever, was himself a shrimp or before becoming an e u fishing official. now here it's a small produces association. he's a big supporter of his daughter's plans and helps with organizational matters. she shows him pictures of recent tests of the special soundwave technology. you're the here, the 1st one. so if you're a 5th of shell that have been blasted off and down here are more bits of shell and i can scroll it up either the right and he, you can see how much meat there is. that's interesting on the photo. we want to get this much meat off every shrimp as all my even when you sheldon bye hand. this bit

is usually broken off. for her 1st attempt, christine adapted a machine that was originally built for another purpose of his asthma as, as, as the 1st step on him. or you can see we had to bring the shrimp to one point anchor because the machine we're testing is just too big, like a hub. i. so we put the shrimp in a bag of water up. and by that, as you see here with my hit options and she wants to keep the details of her invention, a secret to protect her patent application from the competition, the boyfriend and of the machine of mark. they want to prevent the machine from coming to market invest warren in the medical, the investors in the morocco shelling plants have invested millions on van. and she long if the shelling could be done here in the region again, their investment would be obsolete. when i 1st was on album to fisher. susie, east,

us her, and i. but in the past it's always been the fishers who had to pay the bill on both of you. for spectrum, your daughter just reached the machine. my hope is that this machine and bringing the shelling operation back to our coastal region could break up the monopoly of our dutch wholesalers, one up ne, madonica, blocking via misses it will take a while. we estimate it will take 8 to 10 months until a small prototype is ready in one and then we'll have our 1st and peeled shrimp. it's the asked home cabin. ah, maybe one day, one of his shrimp shilling scenes will be right here, inflaming ah, my less and his friends me up to smoke some fish. ha! a cancer like, oh, laugh most of his friends have spent their entire lives fishing level so heard about the new invention. yeah. hi alice, this is

a great herbal occur quarterly. cool young. so my from funnel from good here in the principal, i think it's a good idea. and as would be function yet didn't globally. so if it really works, then i think it has a chance us or our region has a chance to grow a bit. do you think your phone's not a downwash and we not bisson so baxon does this young font? it's something we've noticed too, that professors did feed a finance guy and we're selling shrimp by the boat. people often ask if we have peeled ones, they might us and beaten cars. if we could offer that at a reasonable price, a lot of people would buy them pies. wooden feet of customers would buy peeled shrimp. the vertical political, the normally they don't head

out in the winter when storms and waves make fishing dangerous. but this winter they both went out just to make ends meet. electrical. i just want to get by. i don't want to get rich, but to make a decent living a lot more than to be able to take a break from fishing from christmas till the spring and the mother. we don't want to get rich. we just want to live on fishing, not for it, for the for so like i, the coming year will be make or break for local fishes. they need fair prices and pick a catches to stay afloat. the new shilling machine could be a source of ah,
