Overview
Atarraya builds compact bioreactor systems for sustainable urban shrimp farming using its Slurry Immobilized Biofilm technology.

Competitive landscape
Edge: Patented SIB bioreactor approach purpose-built for shrimp versus generic vertical-farming stacks.
Urban aquaculture remains capital-intensive with regulatory and biosecurity hurdles. Atarraya's bet is modular reactors that shrink supply chains; scale proof depends on unit economics versus Asian import pricing.
