Atarraya

Atarraya is a sustainable aquaculture technology company that operates autonomous shrimp farms using proprietary Shrimpbox technology, enabling the local, sustainable, and year-round production of premium chemical-free shrimp. The company combines biotech, software, and hardware to grow shrimp in automated indoor systems that use microbial communities as a nitrogen sequestration strategy, eliminating disease risk without antibiotics or chemicals. Atarraya technology achieves 100x the productivity per square meter of traditional shrimp farms, 40% lower production costs compared to other inland systems, and enables deployment from planning to harvest in less than 6 months without requiring skilled labor onsite. The company proprietary digital platform turns farming protocols into algorithms and automated workflows, while its vertically integrated hardware is designed, manufactured, and deployed entirely in-house. Founded in 2017 and headquartered in Lakeland, Florida, Atarraya has raised $5 million in Series A funding from Animo.
