APQA Private Limited – Transforming Fish and Shrimp Co-Products into Sustainable, Food-Grade Marine Ingredients
for aqua-eco equilibrium
We make a living by what we get.
Giving Value to What’s Left Behind
“We make a living by what we get. But we make a life by what we give.”
As seafood consumption rises, so does the volume of waste from fish and shrimp processing. At APQA, we focus on the leftover output—the shells, heads and scales often discarded by processing units.
We convert these by-products into premium, food-grade ingredients through sustainable enzymatic processes.

We make a living by what we get.
But we make a life by what we give.
While the fish and shrimp processing units are feeding the increased population, adhering to the right manufacturing practices. There has been an increase in the INPUT as well as the OUTPUT at these processing units. At APQA we mainly focus on the OUTPUT leftover from the fish and shrimp processing units.
APQA specializes in converting the discarded parts of shrimp and fish into raw materials and intermediaries for value-added products like demineralized fish scales, shrimp feed meal, shrimp soluble paste, astaxanthin(shrimp oil), shrimp hydrolysate, and more futuristic products with ongoing research.
Keeping in sync with the rapid advances in the fish and shrimp-based proteins market, APQA will be delving into as diverse a range as supplements, aqua feed, agro products, pharmaceuticals, neutraceuticals, biomaterials, redox flow batteries, biofuel, and more path-breaking areas.
