Ever dreamed of blending Nordic expertise with tropical vibes? Meet Harry Båtvik, a Norwegian aquaculture whiz who recently jetted 8,000 km to Hainan’s sun-drenched shores. 🌴
Back in Norway, Harry mastered cold-water fish farming. But this year, he fell in love with Hainan’s year-round warmth and saw a chance to tackle a fresh challenge: breeding happy, healthy tropical fish. Think groupers, snappers, and even colourful sea bass!
His secret? Mixing high-tech solutions—like smart feeding systems that cut waste—with local know-how from Hainanese fish farmers. The result: faster growth cycles, less environmental impact, and tastier fish on your dinner plate. 🍣
Harry’s journey shows how cross-continental collaboration can drive sustainable foodie trends. From lab tests in Sanya to open-net cages off Wanning, every step has been about learning, adapting, and growing together with local communities.
Next up: Harry’s planning a pilot project using floating solar panels to power offshore fish pens. If it works, aquaculture could get even greener, setting a new standard for the region. 🌊☀️
For young pros and eco-enthusiasts across South and Southeast Asia, Harry’s story is a reminder: innovation knows no borders. So, whether you’re coding the next fish-farm app in Bengaluru or designing eco-friendly nets in Manila, there’s a spot for you in the future of sustainable seafood!
