SATMAR: shellfish producers with an emphasis on excellent water quality and rigorous bio-security

Satmar was established in 1972. After forty-five years of experience, it is now recognised as the most experimented hatchery in Europe.

This long experience has led us to produce various species, including shrimp, scallop, and edulis. We also specialise in growing clams and oysters. spread of our production locations.

This method, linked with rigorous traceability standards, means that we have enjoyed organic accreditation since 2016.

Satmar not only specialises in triploid and diploid oysters but also in Japanese (Manilla) clams. In addition, we have been producing triploids oysters’ seeds since 1992.

Our main activity is oyster breeding, but we also breed clams. Production is split between diploid and triploid oysters’ seeds, part grown or half-grown, allowing us to supply the increasing demand.

As Satmar was one of the first hatcheries in France, we are also a leader in selling worldwide. We have more than one hundred workers spread all over our production sites. These include a special team involved in R&D - selecting

Satmar’s nine sites along the French coast, each selected for its excellent water quality: Gatteville-Le-Phare; Leucate; Lester; Chausey; Landeda; Ile-Tudy; Saint-Philibert; Bouin; and Saint-Just-Luzac.

Our hatcheries in Gatteville and Leucate are located more than 1,000 km apart, giving us more bio-security in production. In addition, our nursery production on four separate sites is based on the same idea, allowing us more secure and controlled production facilities.

The strategic location of our sites makes it possible for us to have a secure and controlled production. It also means that we are more environmentally conscious in terms of our sites’ products, quality, and overall biological balance.

Satmar has developed antibiotic-free production based on biotechnologies, sustainable production (less intensive than other hatcheries). We also carefully selected the geographic broodstock and improving survival and shape.

In addition, we have a dedicated salesperson who will guarantee customer satisfaction.

Even during these challenging times, Satmar has continued to invest in nursery sites to have quality product year-round. We are confident that our experience and expertise will soon see us out of this long, difficult time.

We expect 2021 to be less stressful, with oyster markets

and production soon returning to normal levels.
