HHA SPF TVR:
HHA's SPF TVR P. vannamei (Pacific White) is certified disease free and has been bred for Taura Virus (TSV) Resistance and growth for over 8 generations. TVR is HHA's brand of Specific Pathogen Resistance (SPR). When HHA developed the concept of SPR, it was met with great skepticism by the shrimp research community. The success of HHA and the verification by, the shrimp research community has led to acceptance of the SPR concept.
Shortly after TVR (SPR) was established at HHA, there was criticism due to reduced growth in SPR shrimp. The research community stated that there may be a negative correlation between disease resistance and growth in shrimp. HHA believed that the growth rates could be improved through selecting for growth. In developing the SPR broodstock, HHA had only selected for resistance. With over 8 generations of selecting for fast growth in our TVR families, HHA's TVR lines share the same fast growth characteristics of our SPF Kona families. In 2005, the research community has verified that faster growth in Taura Resistant strains could be achieved through breeding.
