Zhuzhan (Shanghai) Biotechnology is the Chinese entity representing the Red Chamber Group, a major global player in the seafood industry. The Red Chamber Group was founded in 1973 by Shan Chun and his wife Shu Chin Kou, who emigrated from China. What began as a restaurant in Vernon, California, has grown into one of the largest seafood importing and processing companies in North America. The company is now run by the founders' sons, Ming Bin Kou as CEO and Ming Shin Kou as CFO/COO.

The Group operates as an importer, exporter, processor, and harvester of a wide variety of seafood products. Its business model is built on vertical integration, controlling the entire supply chain from its own fishing fleets to strategically located processing plants and cold storage facilities across the United States and internationally. This structure allows the company to process seafood in numerous ways, including portion-controlled packaging with nutritional labeling. The company's processing plants and cold storage facilities in the U.S. can handle over 60 million pounds of product.

Red Chamber Group serves major clients, including big-box retailers like Wal-Mart and restaurant companies such as Darden Restaurants. Its extensive portfolio of subsidiaries includes Neptune Foods, OFI Markesa International, Tampa Bay Fisheries, Kitchens of the Oceans, and Aqua Star, among others. The company has a significant international presence with commercial offices and processing plants in numerous countries, including Argentina, China, Canada, and Vietnam. The Argentinian subsidiary, Red Chamber Argentina S.A., specializes in wild-caught Patagonian shrimp, hake, and squid, operating its own fleet and processing plant to supply global markets.

The Tmall store 'redchamber.world.tmall.com' serves as a business-to-consumer (B2C) channel for the company, selling seafood products directly to consumers in the Greater China market.
