Lined semi-intensive vannamei shrimp ponds with paddlewheel aeration at sunrise

Semi-intensive shrimp

Semi-intensive vannamei farm — solar-hybrid retrofit

Latin America (Pacific coast)

Scope: Lined ponds, paddlewheel + central aeration, brackish intake with reservoir and settling pond, PV + battery + diesel backup.

Procurement focus: Procurement focus: comparable aeration and energy packages, plus an independent budget benchmark for lender discussions.

Lessons

• Reservoir + settling capacity was the single largest bankability improvement
• Solar-hybrid sizing had to prioritise aeration continuity, not headline PV capacity
• A two-supplier aeration split (paddlewheel + central) simplified maintenance

Delivery

14 months, concept to stocking

Bids compared

6 aeration & energy packages

Energy mix

Solar-hybrid with diesel backup

Indoor recirculating aquaculture tanks with drum filters and oxygen cones

Indoor RAS · tilapia

Indoor tilapia RAS — greenfield

MENA (inland)

Scope: Grow-out + nursery, MBBR biofilter, drum filters, O₂ cones, degassers, HVAC, monitoring, HACCP-ready processing tie-in.

Procurement focus: Procurement focus: a neutral RFQ that produced comparable bids, allowing selection on schedule and warranty rather than price alone.

Lessons

• Standardised biofilter sizing rules removed most of the bid variance
• Energy resilience (solar + gen backup) moved from 'nice to have' to a lender requirement
• Processing tie-in specified at RFQ stage avoided a costly retrofit

Delivery

19 months to first harvest

Bids compared

5 full RAS packages

Selection basis

Schedule & warranty, not price alone

500-t RAS archetype

Marine fish hatchery larval rearing room with tanks and live-feed systems

Off-grid hatchery

Off-grid smolt / fingerling hatchery — PV + battery

Remote coastal (island)

Scope: Broodstock + larval + live-feed rooms, dual water source with UV/ozone, PV + battery with diesel for emergencies only.

Procurement focus: Procurement focus: energy architecture and water treatment redundancy specified so the project could be assessed by green-finance lenders.

Lessons

• Battery sized to life-support autonomy, not full-load autonomy
• Two independent water treatment trains preserved biosecurity during maintenance
• Genset retained for emergency duty only, cutting expected running hours

Delivery

11 months, off-grid site

Redundancy

2 independent water treatment trains

Genset hours

Emergency duty only

Off-grid solar hatchery

Fish processing plant filleting and IQF freezing line in stainless steel hall

Processing & export

Farmed fish processing plant — EU export ready

West Africa

Scope: Reception, filleting, IQF, packing, cold storage, reefer dock, effluent treatment; layout designed for BRC + EU approval.

Procurement focus: Procurement focus: freezing, traceability and export logistics specified inside one neutral tender package.

Lessons

• Freezer capacity was the binding constraint — sized on peak, not average, throughput
• Traceability system chosen at RFQ stage simplified the BRC audit
• Reefer dock layout designed around container turn frequency

Delivery

16 months to EU-ready commissioning

Standards

BRC + EU approval layout

Bids compared

4 turn-key processing tenders

Processing plant archetype

Cold chain

Regional cold-chain hub for farmed shrimp

Southeast Asia

Scope: Blast freezer + cold storage + reefer yard for aggregated shrimp exports, integrated with upstream farms.

Procurement focus: Procurement focus: shared freezing and traceability specification that several upstream farms could use jointly.

Lessons

• Aggregation across sponsors only worked with a neutral operator and shared traceability
• Blast freezer sized to seasonal peak, not annual average
• Buffer racking added cost but removed downstream reefer demurrage

Delivery

12 months to first export cycle

Sponsors served

Multiple upstream farms, one hub

Sizing basis

Seasonal peak throughput

Cold chain archetype

Coastal solar-hybrid aquaculture facility with photovoltaic array and grow-out systems

Solar-hybrid RAS

Solar-hybrid RAS — grid-tied hybrid

Mediterranean

Scope: Grow-out RAS with PV + battery + grid; load-shifted aeration and pumping to the daylight window.

Procurement focus: Procurement focus: energy and RAS packages specified together so load-shifting did not compromise life support.

Lessons

• Load-shift schedule had to respect biofilter O₂ demand, not just peak-shave economics
• Daily battery cycling justified the LFP chemistry premium
• Grid tariff structure drove PV + battery sizing more than energy volume

Delivery

17 months, grid-tied hybrid

Load shifted

Aeration & pumping to daylight window

Battery

LFP, daily cycling

Short answer

What is the fastest way to get quotes for Case Studies?

Submit one structured request for Case Studies. FishMatch Group translates it into a technical RFQ, runs a confidential sourcing round with project-matched international suppliers, and returns comparable quotations. No fee is charged to the buyer, and your identity and project details stay private until you choose to proceed.

How it works:: One structured request, human-reviewed before any supplier outreach
Typical turnaround:: Depends on scope and site data; no turnaround is guaranteed
Confidentiality:: Supplier names are never exposed during evaluation
Cost to buyers:: No fee charged to the buyer

What is the fastest way to get quotes for Case Studies?

How does FishMatch Group source suppliers for this requirement?

You submit one structured request. We translate it into a technical RFQ, run it against qualified manufacturers and integrators in the relevant categories, and return normalised quotations you can compare side by side on scope, lead time and total cost of ownership.

Do buyers see supplier names during the sourcing process?

No. Supplier identities stay confidential during discovery and evaluation. You receive anonymised, comparable technical and commercial packages, and introductions happen only after both sides are qualified and agree to proceed.
