Mission Statement

Science That
Protects
the Pond.

Every formula Innovare develops is stress-tested against one measure beyond efficacy: does it leave the pond — and the planet — in better condition than it found it?

Soil Quality Management

The Foundation
of Every Harvest

Pond sediment is a living ecosystem. Neglected soil accumulates ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, and pathogens that cascade into crop losses. Our protocols actively restore and maintain sediment chemistry.

⚖️
⚖️
Soil pH
Ideal Range

6.5 – 7.5

Prevents nutrient lock-up; eliminates acid-sulphate toxicity risk.

🌱
🌱
Organic Matter
Ideal Range

2 – 4 %

Sustains beneficial microbial biomass without triggering hypoxia.

Redox Potential
Ideal Range

+50 to +200 mV

Aerobic sediment suppresses H₂S generation and anaerobic fermentation.

💊
💊
Phosphorus
Ideal Range

20 – 40 ppm

Supports phytoplankton without driving eutrophication events.

⚠️
⚠️
Hydrogen Sulfide
Ideal Range

< 0.01 mg/L

Lethal at trace levels; managed via aeration and liming protocols.

🪴
🪴
Silt Content
Ideal Range

< 30 %

Limits resuspension events that devastate water clarity and gill function.

Aquaculture Standards

Industry Standards We Follow

Introduction to Aquaculture Standards

Aquaculture entails managed farming or culture of organisms in saline or brackishwater areas for the purpose of enhancing production, both for domestic and export markets — including shrimp, prawn, crabs, lobsters, finfishes like groupers, and oysters.

To ensure orderly and sustainable development, the industry is guided by environmentally responsible and socially acceptable standards covering farm management, wastewater treatment, and mitigation of adverse environmental impacts.

🌿

Environmental Responsibility

Farms must operate within defined environmental carrying capacities, with effluent treatment systems and regular impact assessments to minimize ecosystem disruption.

ISO 14001 aligned
🦐

Animal Health & Welfare

Species-specific stocking densities, disease prevention programs, and veterinary oversight ensure animals are raised under humane and healthy conditions.

GAP / BAP certified
🍽️

Food Safety & Traceability

Complete batch-level traceability from broodstock to harvest, with residue testing for antibiotics, heavy metals, and chemical contaminants before export.

HACCP / GlobalG.A.P
👷

Worker Safety & Social Equity

Fair wages, safe working conditions, prohibition of child and forced labour, and access to grievance mechanisms are mandatory across certified supply chains.

ILO standards
💧

Water Use & Discharge

Licensed water abstraction limits, settling pond requirements, and zero-discharge goals for high-density systems and to protect shared water resources.

MPEDA / EIA norms
📋

Record Keeping & Audits

Third-party annual audits verify compliance. Farm records covering feed lots, treatments, mortalities, and harvests must be retained for a minimum of three years.

ASC / BAP audited
