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 "permaquaculture," a patented co-culture technology combining shrimp, microorganisms, and marine invertebrates in closed-circuit indoor aquaculture farms. This farming method eliminates the use of antibiotics 100%, saves 99% of water compared to conventional farming, produces no polluting waste, and preserves mangroves. Since 2019, Lisaqua has been breeding and marketing the first fresh, local, environmentally friendly shrimp, guaranteed to be antibiotic- and preservative-free. After five years of R&D, Lisaqua launched the first shrimp farm in France, in Saint-Herblain (Nantes), producing 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 (500 tons/year). Lisaqua's goal is to deploy a network of farms near major French and European cities.
