With global demand expected to grow by over 140% by 2050, marine aquaculture is currently the fastest-growing sector in the agri-food industry. This development goes hand in hand with a necessary transition towards new protein sources for feeding farmed fish and shrimp.
Mealworms stand out as a high-quality, sustainable alternative with production potential on our territory.
The Invers mealworm is a safe food source, free from chemical residues or harmful components. Incorporating insects into the diets of farmed fish and shrimp, as a substitute for other protein sources taken from the oceans, eliminates any risk of contamination.
Feeding farmed fish and shrimp with insect protein sustainably strengthens the health of the livestock and addresses the growing consumer demand for healthier and more sustainable food options.
Enhanced Growth Performance for Rainbow Trout and Atlantic Salmon
Improves resistance to pathogenic bacteria and parasites
The quality of the fishing nets used for fish fed with mealworms remains uncompromised.
Traceability and Food Soveignty
Our insects are fed with wheat bran, a 100% French by-product sourced from local farms. The larvae fattening phase takes place on the farms of our partner farmers.
A 100% local supply and production chain allows us to ensure complete traceability of inputs and meet the strictest European standards.

Insect protein offers a sustainable alternative that requires minimal land use, limited water input, and produces low CO2 emissions. Mealworms provide a credible, healthy, and high-quality solution for aquaculture industries.
Environmental crises and the crossing of planetary boundaries (as per The Stockholm Resilience Centre) demand urgent action to reduce impacts, particularly by decreasing or halting fish extraction from oceans, which threatens marine ecosystems.
Substituting insect protein for traditional fishmeal in aquaculture feed significantly reduces ocean fishing pressure. For every tonne of larvae included in aquaculture diets, one tonne of fish is spared from being taken from the oceans.
