As for 2016, Aquaprimeur has taken the lead in frog-farming R&D. To be more specific, Aquaprimeur has specialized in frog hatchery, or better said tadpole rearing to produce frog juveniles. Our froglets are mostly sold to growers who further grow the animals from 5g to 60g and process them to premium quality frog legs.
Aquaprimeur, thanks to years of R&D programms, is now able to produce all year round, thousands of healthy froglets, respecing social and environmental principles.

In earlier years, Aquaprimeur was the pioneer in aquaponics.

Aquaprimeur with Dr Agnès JOLY was a member of the European scientific and lobbying group COST FA1305 

Aquaprimeur worked actively in urban farming project lead by Base5 association to convert the 5 french submarine bases in urban aquaponics. 

Aquaprimeur in Paris-Belleville has been a 3 years experimental project in soilless farming. We were offered the oportunity by the city of Paris to rent a beautiful hall in an old winter garden in the east of Paris. The situation is just fantastic, with the absolute best view on Paris.

The experiment started thanks to a competition for best projects to get Paris greener and make possible some food production in the city. Our project came in top position because we are producing both fish and vegetables!

All our crops do grow on water. No soil here. Roots find in the water all they need. We give them 3 kinds of nutrients (in 3 different systems that we sort of compare):

– traditional hydroponics, were nutrients are soluble minerals, adapted to each stage of growth: just started, plain growth, flowering, fruits

– bioponics, were nutrients are given in an organic state, and slowly mineralised. We sometimes call it liquid soil

– aquaponics, were nutrients are natural, produced in situ by golden fish. While digesting their feed, gold fish produce the most natural feed you find = manure!

In May 2014 we installed aromatics. Then in the automn 2014 we installed kale; in february 2015 strawberries that turned delicious. In october 2015 we grew mustard, bok choi and colorfull beet. We added flowers and chives in the spring 2016.
