Aquaculture Processing Plant Capacity Calculator
Sizes a processing plant from annual harvest input: daily throughput (t/day), gutted/HOG/filet yield, required headcount and indicative CAPEX. Use this before scoping equipment (grader, killing line, filet line, IQF).
Scenario modelling
Flexes volume, working days, worker throughput and product price.

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
- Add 25–40% for building, chilling, IQF freezer, packaging and effluent — full plant CAPEX is 1.4–1.7× line CAPEX.
- Filet line workers 40–80 kg/h; whole-fish 100–200 kg/h; shrimp peeling 15–30 kg/h.
- Chill-chain from kill to pack must stay < 4 °C — see the Cold Storage calculator.
