Groupe Aqualande is a French aquaculture-focused producer within the food and beverage sector, handling both farming and processing operations. It is based in Roquefort, Landes, in Nouvelle-Aquitaine, and traces its roots to 1981 when ten friends started fish farms in the Hautes Landes de Gascogne to leverage the area's natural water quality. The group oversees the entire value chain—from hatchery to farming to processing—and has grown its footprint with subsidiaries along the Charente-Maritime coast, on the Mediterranean, and in Spain and the Middle East, achieving European leadership in aquaculture by 2020. Its products are marketed under multiple brands, including Ovive, Landvika, Moulin du Caouley, Sources du Courlis, and Piszolla, distributed through a range of networks. The company articulates a vision of developing a responsible aquaculture value chain that respects people, the environment, and the fish.
