About Lisaqua

Our mantra: produce better, with fewer resources. Founded in 2018 in Nantes, Lisaqua is a deeptech startup revolutionizing aquaculture by designing an aquaculture production system with low environmental impact. Lisaqua has developed "permaculture", a patented co-culture technology coupling shrimp, microorganisms, and marine invertebrates in closed-circuit indoor aquaculture farms. This farming method eliminates 100% of antibiotics, saves 99% of water compared to conventional farming, produces no polluting discharge, and preserves mangroves. Since 2019, Lisaqua has been raising and marketing the first fresh, local, environmentally friendly shrimp guaranteed to be free of antibiotics and preservatives. After 5 years of R&D, Lisaqua launched the first shrimp farm in France, in Saint-Herblain (Nantes) and produces 10 tons of shrimp per year. The company is preparing to scale up with the largest shrimp farm in Europe, in Seine-et-Marne in 2025 (500t/year). Lisaqua's goal is to deploy a network of farms near major French and European cities.
