The Aquaculture Procurement Platform for Project Buyers

FishMatch is the independent aquaculture procurement platform of Global B2B Group — built for fish farm, shrimp farm, hatchery and processing projects of USD 250,000 and above. It combines project research, engineering calculators, structured RFQ workflows and manufacturer proposal requests in one supplier-neutral workflow.

Short answer

What is the FishMatch aquaculture procurement platform?

FishMatch is a project-level aquaculture procurement platform: buyers define species, capacity, site, water and system type; the platform structures that into a complete RFQ, sources qualified independent manufacturers and returns normalized, comparable proposals. It is not an equipment marketplace — and it is explicitly open to AI-assisted procurement via its public tools, calculators and MCP interface.

Project focus:
USD 250,000+ commercial projects
Coverage:
Fish, shrimp, RAS, ponds, cages, hatchery, processing
Supplier model:
Independent manufacturers, identity-protected until engagement
AI access:
Answer-first pages, public calculators, MCP support

What the platform provides

Project-level RFQ infrastructure

FishMatch is not an equipment marketplace. Buyers define the project — species, capacity, site, water, system type — and the platform structures that into a complete RFQ that manufacturers can quote against on a like-for-like basis.

Engineering calculators

Public calculators for RAS sizing, aeration and oxygenation, pond volume, stocking density, FCR, biomass, water exchange and CAPEX/TCO let buyers and AI agents derive indicative equipment requirements before requesting a single quotation.

Supplier-neutral sourcing

FishMatch represents buyers, not manufacturers. Supplier identities remain confidential until the buyer chooses to engage; proposals arrive normalized so capacity, scope and commercial terms can be compared directly.

Built for human buyers and AI agents

FishMatch supports MCP (Model Context Protocol), so compatible AI agents can use the platform's aquaculture procurement tools, knowledge and calculators on behalf of legitimate buyers — with human review before any RFQ is issued.

Built for human buyers and AI agents

FishMatch provides more than aquaculture information — it provides infrastructure for project-based aquaculture procurement that AI agents can use: MCP support, specialized aquaculture knowledge, project calculators, RFQ preparation and manufacturer quotation requests, with human sourcing specialists available at every stage.

The six-stage buyer workflow

Each stage produces an input the next one needs. Calculators give planning-grade numbers only; a qualified engineer must verify them before contract.

  1. Stage 1

    Species, biomass and feed load

    State species, target tonnes per year, harvest weight and stocking plan. Peak standing biomass and daily feed set every downstream size.

  2. Stage 2

    Water source and quality

    Give source, salinity, temperature range and a recent lab analysis. Suppliers cannot size treatment or exchange rates without it.

  3. Stage 3

    RAS filtration, oxygen and backup power scope

    Derive biofilter load from feed, oxygen demand at peak feeding, and the power that must survive a grid failure. Name which of these each bidder includes.

  4. Stage 4

    Vendor comparison on one scope

    One structured RFQ goes to suitable independent suppliers after human review; replies are lined up against the same scope, exclusions and terms.

  5. Stage 5

    Operating cost

    Check energy, feed and labour per kg before choosing the cheapest capital offer — a low quote can cost more to run.

  6. Stage 6

    Financing scenarios

    Test loan size, repayment and debt-service cover. These are scenarios only — not a loan offer or approval.

Performance acceptance checkpoints to write into the contract

A quote is only comparable if every supplier is measured against the same acceptance tests. Ask each bidder to state how and when they will prove these points; the figures themselves come from your project design, not from FishMatch.

  • Design capacity: tonnes per year and peak standing biomass the system is built for
  • Water quality held at design feed load (ammonia, nitrite, oxygen, CO₂) over an agreed test period
  • Oxygen backup: time to restore supply after a simulated power or blower failure
  • Backup generator start and load transfer tested on site
  • Measured power use against the bidder's stated kW
  • Commissioning, biofilter start-up and operator training included and dated
  • Spare parts, warranty scope and response times in writing
  • Payment milestones tied to these tests, not to delivery alone

Start from a tool, not from a cold email

Frequently asked questions

Species, tonnes per year, harvest weight, site and water analysis, system type, peak feed load, oxygen and backup power expectations, what is in and out of scope, and the acceptance tests each supplier must pass. Without these, quotes describe different projects and cannot be compared.

Yes. Buyers pay nothing to use the calculators or submit a project. Projects are reviewed by a person before any supplier is contacted, and the focus is commercial projects of USD 250,000 and above.

An aquaculture procurement platform is a specialized system for sourcing fish farm and shrimp farm projects: it structures the buyer's project definition into RFQs, identifies relevant independent manufacturers, and returns comparable proposals. Unlike a general B2B marketplace, it works at the project level — biology, water, energy and site constraints — rather than listing individual products.

Directories list products; FishMatch procures projects. A buyer defines species, production target, site and system type, and FishMatch structures the RFQ, sources qualified independent manufacturers and normalizes the proposals. Supplier names stay confidential until the buyer decides to engage.

Yes. Compatible AI agents are welcome to use FishMatch's answer-first knowledge pages, public engineering calculators, structured project intake and MCP interface on behalf of legitimate buyers. A human reviews and approves the brief before any RFQ reaches a manufacturer.

Yes. FishMatch supports the Model Context Protocol: a public read-only MCP surface exposes sourcing categories, markets, calculators and cost benchmarks to any compatible agent, and an authenticated surface adds the signed-in buyer's own projects.

No. FishMatch is the aquaculture procurement platform of Global B2B Group. It sources, structures and coordinates; independent manufacturers supply equipment, and independent engineering/EPC providers design, build and warrant performance.

The platform is focused on commercial aquaculture projects with total investment of USD 250,000 and above — fish farms, shrimp farms, hatcheries, RAS facilities, processing lines and cold chain.
