Commercial Feed Consumption & Budget Calculator
Feed is the single largest cost line in commercial aquaculture — 40–65% of OPEX. This sizes annual feed tonnage from harvest target, FCR and mortality, then converts to $/year and $/kg fish so you can benchmark suppliers and pre-negotiate volume contracts.
Scenario modelling
Flexes mortality, FCR and feed price — the three feed-line drivers.

Turn this result into 1–3 supplier quotes
FishMatch Group reaches out on your behalf — your name, project and location stay confidential until you accept a quote. No sign-up, no listing fees, buyers never pay.
How supplier matching works
- 1. Private brief. Your spec goes only to manufacturers we have selected for the right category, capacity and export experience.
- 2. Confidential outreach. Suppliers see the technical spec — not your name, company or exact location — until you accept a quote.
- 3. 1–3 comparable quotes. Typically within 5–10 business days, aligned on scope so you can compare like-for-like.
- 4. Financing intro (optional). If needed, we introduce your project to a financing partner. No fee to buyers.
Notes
- Volume feed contracts (500+ t/yr) typically cut $/kg 8–15% vs spot.
- Feed represents 40–65% of OPEX — a 0.1 FCR improvement often equals the return of a whole solar PV project.
- Feed this into the Commercial ROI OPEX line and RFQ package.
