The system uses a constant supply of pure, cold, nutrient-rich seawater, pumped from a depth of 3,000 feet in the Pacific Ocean. The result is a near-perfect environment for growing Kona Abalone. KPFHC's facilities include a hatchery, a nursery and abalone grow-out tanks. In this way, KPFHC controls the quality of the abalone from the very start of the growth cycle. A blend of algae is used to feed the abalone, optimizing abalone taste, texture, color, nutrition, and shell characteristics. KPFHC maintains five million abalone in inventory on its 10-acre site.
