Aquaculture
Mixscience: a strategic partner for the aquaculture industry
Aquaculture is now a strategic source of animal protein for a growing global population. Mixscience is a committed player in the field of animal nutrition and leverages its expertise to support the aquaculture industry in addressing nutritional, health, and environmental challenges. As specialists in animal nutrition and experts in biotechnology and feed technology, we support the entire industry – feed integrators, feed manufacturers, distributors, veterinarians, and farmers – in optimizing the zootechnical performance of key aquaculture species and in driving sustainable performance in aquaculture systems.
Taking action to Serve the Earth
Helping to support animal health, welfare, and sustainable performance
Guided by our mission statement “Taking action to serve the Earth”, we are committed to promoting sustainable aquaculture that respects natural resources and ecological balance. Our approach takes environmental, societal, and economic challenges into account to reconcile the protection of aquatic ecosystems with the imperatives of productivity and resilience in aquaculture operations. By addressing 8 of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals defined by the United Nations, we put scientific innovation to work for animal health, the technical and economic efficiency of the industry, and food sovereignty.
A holistic and personalized approach
At Mixscience, every solution draws on a deep understanding of our customers’ specific challenges and is grounded in a holistic approach that addresses animal health and welfare, nutritional quality of feed, technical and economic performance of operations, and management of environmental impact. We prioritize a risk-anticipation strategy to reduce the use of antibiotics and chemicals and promote sustainable, robust, and scientifically validated solutions.
From feed manufacturers to farmers, we support every stage of the aquaculture value chain and provide tailored guidance.

Solutions for complex and evolving aquaculture environments
Mixscience develops robust nutritional and health solutions, specifically formulated to address the multiple constraints of aquaculture environments.
Our products are designed to adapt to a wide range of physicochemical parameters, including pH, temperature, salinity, pollution, and the presence of contaminants, to ensure consistent zootechnical performance in demanding, unstable, and constantly changing production environments.
Designed for open or closed aquaculture systems (RAS), tanks, marine cages, raceways, hatcheries and nurseries, these solutions support the management of major health challenges and are suitable for a wide variety of species at any physiological stage: larvae, juveniles, adults, and broodstock.

Transformation of Oleochemistry, Microbiology and Phytogenics
The effectiveness of our solutions for aquaculture relies on 3 key areas of expertise: Oleochemistry, Microbiology, and Phytogenic. This technological foundation draws on our extensive expertise in animal nutrition and biocontrol, as well as our connection to AVRIL, and enables us to develop innovative functional and nutritional solutions using sustainable active ingredients and carefully selected microorganisms.
Our expertise in vectorization
Some of our solutions derive their effectiveness from our proprietary VSTAR Technologies. Specifically designed to address the constraints of aquaculture – processes, dilution, and species physiology – VSTAR Technologies ensures protection of active ingredients, controlled distribution and release in the animal digestive tract for maximum zootechnical efficacy. Most of our solutions are patented to guarantee their innovative and exclusive nature.
Advanced galenic engineering and formulation technologies
For each solution, galenic forms and formulations are specifically engineered to meet the demands of aquaculture—ensuring stability in aquatic environments, compatibility with industrial processes, and species‑appropriate bioavailability. Our products are backed by rigorous scientific documentation and international publications. With 25 years of experience, our aquaculture‑dedicated R&D team leverages a global network of experts and a deep understanding of input and probiotic mechanisms to drive the development of patented innovations.
