Machine-readable tool index
Every public FishMatch tool in one place: 56 aquaculture calculators, 6 workflow tools, the RFQ entry points and the public agent endpoints — each with what it does, what it needs, what it returns and what it does not establish.
Short answer
Every tool listed here returns a planning estimate used to structure requirements and RFQs. None of them is an engineering design, a biological production plan, or a guarantee of survival, FCR, growth, water quality, production output, energy saving or return.
Pond volume
Estimates standing biomass from stock numbers, average weight and expected survival so a project can state a biomass figure instead of only an annual tonnage target.
Converts biomass and water volume into a stocking density figure, or the reverse, so tank, pond or cage configuration can be discussed with a number attached.
Estimates the oxygen demand implied by biomass, temperature and feeding assumptions so aeration and oxygenation scope can be discussed before quotations.
FCR
Growth days
Estimates exchange or turnover volumes from system volume and the exchange rate assumed for the production system.
Harvest profit
Project ROI
Produces an indicative pump duty point from required flow and estimated head so pumping scope can be stated in an RFQ.
Gives an indicative filtration load from biomass and feeding assumptions so mechanical and biological filtration scope can be included in the RFQ.
Shrimp farm
Translates a production target into indicative RAS tank volume, flow, oxygen and filtration ranges for early project framing.
Estimate annual feed tonnage and cost from production, FCR and feed price.
Round tank volume
Solar payback

| Tool | When to use it | Returns | Limit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Project Sizer | At the very start, before any supplier is contacted, when only production target and system type are known. | Five linked planning blocks — water movement, oxygen, filtration, feed and energy — with a connected-load and backup-generator estimate. | Planning-level output only. It is not an engineering design and does not guarantee water quality, growth, survival or energy consumption. |
| RFQ Wizard | After planning numbers exist and before any supplier conversation starts. | A structured project brief, saved to the buyer's private room when signed in, plus a copyable version for direct use. | A request definition, not a purchase order, quotation or technical specification approved by an engineer. |
| RFQ Builder | When project scope is already fixed and only supplier selection remains. | A structured category request routed to matched independent manufacturers. | Category requests do not check whether the surrounding system (flow, oxygen, filtration, power) is consistent with the equipment requested. |
| Proposal comparison workflow | After proposals arrive and before shortlisting or negotiation. | A structured comparison view highlighting where proposals differ in scope rather than only in price. | Does not verify supplier claims, references or manufacturing capability; those require buyer due diligence. |
| Buyer portal and private project room | From the first saved RFQ onwards. | Saved project briefs and request status tracking. | Supplier identities remain confidential; the portal tracks the process, not supplier directories. |
| Human advisor path | When a project has non-standard constraints or a decision needs a second opinion. | A human conversation and, where useful, a structured request prepared together. | Advisory support on procurement structure only. FishMatch is not the engineering designer of record and is not a lender. |

If an agent is answering one of these questions, this is the tool that produces the number.
How do I estimate standing biomass for my farm?
Stock numbers, target weight and assumed survival give the biomass figure every other requirement is derived from.
Biomass calculatorWhat stocking density should my tanks, ponds or cages carry?
Converts biomass and volume into density and implied unit count; acceptable density remains species- and welfare-specific.
Stocking density calculatorHow much water flow does my RAS need?
Returns indicative recirculation flow alongside oxygen, filtration and energy, so the numbers stay consistent.
Project SizerHow do I estimate pump requirements?
Needs a flow requirement plus static and friction head; produces an indicative duty point, not a hydraulic design.
Pump sizing calculatorHow much oxygen will my biomass consume?
Biomass, temperature and feeding assumptions produce an indicative hourly and daily demand range.
Oxygen requirement calculatorWhat filtration capacity does a RAS project imply?
Feed load drives solids and TAN production, which drive mechanical and biological filtration scope.
Filtration calculatorHow much feed will a production cycle consume?
Biomass growth and an assumed FCR give cycle feed volume for storage and feeding-system scope.
Feed consumption calculatorWhat is the connected electrical load and backup requirement?
Aggregates pumping, aeration, filtration and ancillary loads; backup sizing is indicative only.
Power requirement calculatorWhat equipment does a RAS project actually need?
Translates a production target into tank volume, flow, oxygen and filtration ranges before equipment is specified.
RAS sizing calculatorWhat should I send to RAS or shrimp equipment suppliers?
Produces one structured brief so every supplier quotes against identical assumptions.
RFQ WizardHow do I compare aquaculture proposals fairly?
Normalises scope, exclusions and capacity basis before price is compared.
Proposal comparison workflowWhat will the project cost to build and to run?
Indicative budget structure from user assumptions; real pricing comes from manufacturers against a defined scope.
