Consultant search

Find an aquaculture consultant by country and species

Pick your species and country. You get the disciplines a project of that type needs, in the order they are normally engaged, and what to prepare before the first conversation.

Short answer

Which aquaculture consultant does my project need?

It depends on the species and the stage, not the country. A shrimp pond project needs a shrimp farming advisor and a water treatment specialist; a land-based salmon project needs RAS engineering first. The country changes permitting, energy cost, duties and in-region service — not the discipline.

Vannamei shrimp

Typical systems: Earthen or lined ponds, biofloc, shrimp RAS. Aeration energy and survival assumptions drive both the equipment list and the cost per kilogram.

Disciplines this project usually needs, in order

Step 1

Shrimp farm consultants

Pond and lined-pond vannamei production, intensification, aeration strategy, biofloc or clear-water operation and the equipment budget that supports the stocking plan.

Scope
  • Stocking density, aeration demand and water exchange plan
  • Liner, aerator, pump and monitoring scope
  • Harvest and post-harvest handling flow
Have ready
  • Pond count, surface area and depth
  • Target cycles per year and stocking density
  • Grid power or generator situation
Step 2

Hatchery consultants

Fish and shrimp hatchery planning: broodstock, maturation, larval tanks, live feed, water treatment and the biosecurity regime the equipment has to support.

Scope
  • Tank plan against target fry or post-larvae output
  • Live feed, water treatment and heating scope
  • Biosecurity zoning and disinfection requirements
Have ready
  • Target output per cycle and cycles per year
  • Species and source of broodstock
  • Water source and required treatment level
Step 3

Water treatment and aeration specialists

Intake, filtration, disinfection, effluent and aeration design — the part of a project most often under-scoped in a supplier quotation.

Scope
  • Raw water analysis and required treatment train
  • UV, ozone, filtration and degassing specification
  • Oxygen transfer requirement and energy per kg O₂
Have ready
  • Water analysis results if available
  • Discharge permit conditions
  • Electricity tariff for energy comparison
Step 4

Processing and cold-chain consultants

Primary processing, chilling, freezing, ice supply and cold storage sized against the harvest calendar rather than a single peak day.

Scope
  • Throughput basis from the monthly harvest profile
  • Hygienic design and traceability for the destination market
  • Refrigeration load, water and power demand
Have ready
  • Harvest calendar by month
  • Product formats and target markets
  • Available utilities on site
Step 5

Feasibility and financing-readiness advisors

Production and cost modelling, CAPEX and OPEX structure, and assembling documentation a lender or investor can actually read.

Scope
  • Production model, FCR and cost per kilogram assumptions
  • CAPEX build-up with exclusions written down
  • Single-currency, single-incoterm cost summary
Have ready
  • Existing quotes, even if incomplete
  • Land, permit and offtake status
  • Equity available and financing amount sought
Step 6

Procurement, EPC and turnkey advisors

Package splits, RFQ structure, interface management and vendor comparison for turnkey or multi-lot builds.

Scope
  • Lot structure and interface matrix
  • One RFQ text, one incoterm, one currency for every bidder
  • Scope-gap list per offer instead of estimated extras
Have ready
  • Design basis or specification, if it exists
  • Delivery deadline and site readiness date
  • Any suppliers you already want invited

FishMatch Group does not publish the names, websites or contact details of the consultants and suppliers in its network, and does not certify, license or rank consultants. This directory describes the disciplines a commercial fish or shrimp project normally needs and what to prepare before engaging one. Sourcing support is arranged through a human review, not an automatic match.

Next step

Tell us the project and we arrange the right people

Send the project once. A person reads it, tells you which disciplines it genuinely needs, and arranges introductions only where both sides agree. Nothing is auto-matched and your details are not shared with suppliers without your consent.

Questions

How do I find an aquaculture consultant for my country and species?

Start from the project, not the person. Choose the species and the country above and the page shows which disciplines a project of that type normally needs, in what order, and what to prepare for each. You can then send the project for human review and we arrange the introduction that fits.

Can I see consultant names and contact details here?

No. FishMatch Group keeps its consultant and supplier network confidential — no names, websites, emails or phone numbers are published. Introductions are arranged case by case, with both sides' agreement.

Do I need a consultant before submitting an RFQ?

Not always, but you do need a design basis. If your production target, water source, oxygen demand and treatment level are already written down, you can go straight to the RFQ. If not, a sizing specialist first will save a round of unusable quotes.

Does the country change which consultant I need?

It changes the constraints more than the discipline. Permitting, water cost, energy tariffs, import duties and in-region service availability differ sharply by country, and they shape both the specification and who can realistically support the site.
