Short Description of the company
Founded in 2018, Lisaqua is an impact start-up that raises shrimp in land-based farms, with no impact on the environment. Its mission: to produce better, with fewer resources.
Thanks to its patented technology, Lisaqua offers the first fresh shrimp, guaranteed without antibiotics or preservatives, raised in France.
After 5 years of R&D, Lisaqua launched the first shrimp farm in France, in Saint-Herblain (Nantes) and produces 10 tons of shrimp a year. The company is preparing to scale up with Europe’s largest shrimp farm, in Seine-et-Marne in 2025 (500t/year).
Lisaqua’s ambition is to become the leader in healthy, sustainable aquaculture. A network of farms in France and Europe will enable us to produce several tens of thousands of tonnes per year. Lisaqua’s shrimps, which are local and environmentally friendly, will thus be accessible to as many people as possible.
