HÅVA is at the forefront of revolutionizing the seafood industry through the implementation of innovative technology that integrates advanced research with sustainable and circular economic practices. Central to our production methodology is biofloc technology, which provides effective solutions to a range of global sustainability challenges. Our efforts emphasize the importance of ecological responsibility while ensuring the production of high-quality seafood.
HÅVA has developed an integrated ecosystem that optimizes the physical characteristics of the tanks, the mix of microorganisms, and the chemical interactions within the water to create the best environment for shrimp farming. The farming units are designed to maximize space utilization and enhance production processes. Facilities are constructed with a strong emphasis on minimizing changes to reduce stress for the shrimp.
In our production system, shrimp are not viewed as isolated entities but as integral components of a larger interactive ecosystem. Our biofloc technology relies on the interplay between a complex biota and the shrimp, with the Biofloc serving as both the heart and engine of our production method. This heterotrophic-based biofloc improves production efficiency, decreases environmental impact, and addresses challenges related to water quality and disease management. This approach is especially beneficial in areas with limited water availability or where there are concerns about the environmental effects of aquaculture operations.
The system is designed to enable integrated multitrophic aquaculture (IMTA), a type of regenerative farming that involves cultivating multiple species in the same area. For example, seaweed, algae, sea cucumbers, and salt-tolerant plant species can be grown together in a looped system in which waste from one species is used as food for another, increasing efficiency in the whole system.
Central to our sustainability initiatives is biofloc technology, a system that enhances farming's self-sufficiency and resource efficiency.
HÅVAs farming is an integrated ecosystem where tech meets biology in a scalable system.
An unpleasant taste often found in fish and shellfish produced using Recirculating Aquaculture Systems is caused by different actinobacteria. These organisms produce compounds like geosmin and MIB, which accumulate in seafood and result in a muddy off-flavor. Our biofloc technology reduces the presence of actinobacteria, providing you with a superb culinary experience!
