Project checklist

Aquaculture project checklist — six stages, with to-dos and indicative timings

The working companion to the aquaculture buyer's guide. Each stage lists what has to be finished before the next one starts, roughly how long that stage takes on a commercial fish or shrimp project, and the tool to use. Durations are planning ranges observed across projects of different sizes — not commitments, and not a delivery promise from any supplier. Ticks are saved on this device only.
