Shrimp Farm Calculator

Whiteleg shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) farming economics come down to stocking density (PL/m²), survival, average harvest weight and FCR. This tool models yield, feed load and gross margin per cycle for semi-intensive, intensive and biofloc systems — matching what our sourcing engine uses to pre-qualify projects.

Scenario modelling

Flexes survival, harvest weight, price and FCR — the four variables shrimp farms live and die by.

Calculator inputs

Semi-int. 15–40, intensive 60–150, biofloc 150–400

Turn this result into 1–3 supplier quotes

Send this spec privately to selected manufacturers.

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. 1. Private brief. Your spec goes only to manufacturers we have selected for the right category, capacity and export experience.
  2. 2. Confidential outreach. Suppliers see the technical spec — not your name, company or exact location — until you accept a quote.
  3. 3. 1–3 comparable quotes. Typically within 5–10 business days, aligned on scope so you can compare like-for-like.
  4. 4. Financing intro (optional). If needed, we introduce your project to a financing partner. No fee to buyers.

Notes

  • Add aeration energy, PL, labor, pond prep and financing for full net. Biofloc systems tolerate 3–4× the stocking density of earthen ponds.
