Mediterranean Sea Cage Farm
Reference scope for a nearshore sea-cage fish farm with HDPE cages, mooring design, feeding automation and harvest logistics.
Project scope
- HDPE circular cages with site-specific mooring layout
- Feed delivery, underwater cameras and biomass monitoring
- Workboat, net handling and harvest logistics specification
- Environmental monitoring and fallowing plan aligned with local permits
Highlights
Reference scope aligned equipment, marine works and operations requirements into one comparable tender envelope.

How this project moved from a first enquiry to a comparable RFQ
Every FishMatch project follows the same five stages. Nothing is sourced until a person has reviewed the brief, and supplier identities stay confidential until the buyer decides to engage.
- 01
Initial enquiry
The buyer described a sea cage project in Eastern Mediterranean in a few lines — species or product, target output and site situation — without naming or contacting a single supplier.
Result · A confidential brief in the FishMatch desk, acknowledged the same day.
- 02
Brief review
FishMatch read the brief before any sourcing began, listed the missing decisions and separated what was fixed from what was still an assumption.
Result · An agreed project definition: system type, production model and the constraints that change equipment selection.
- 03
Sizing and numbers
Duty figures were established for the sea cage scope — load, water treatment, aeration or oxygenation, flow and energy — so equipment was specified from numbers rather than catalogue models.
Result · A sizing basis every supplier quotes against, using the same assumptions.
- 04
Structured RFQ
The scope was split into lots (hdpe circular cages with site-specific mooring layout and the rest of the package) and issued as one RFQ with identical questions to each shortlisted manufacturer.
Result · Comparable offers on one sheet: scope, exclusions, lead time and commissioning support.
- 05
Review and handoff
Offers were normalised, deviations declared, and only then were introductions made manually — supplier identities were held by FishMatch throughout.
Result · Reference scope aligned equipment, marine works and operations requirements into one comparable tender envelope.

Equipment scope
What equipment does a commercial aquaculture project actually need?
A grow-out project typically needs holding infrastructure (tanks, ponds or cages), water movement (pumps, piping, valves), aeration or oxygenation, water treatment appropriate to the system, feeding equipment, grading and handling gear, monitoring and alarms, and backup power. RAS adds mechanical filtration, biofiltration, degassing, disinfection and tighter process control. Hatchery and processing scopes are specified separately.
Which equipment should be specified before requesting quotes?
Specify the items whose sizing changes everything downstream: design biomass and stocking density, water exchange or recirculation rate, oxygen demand at peak temperature, and installed pumping head. With those four fixed, suppliers can quote aeration, filtration, pumps and power on the same basis. FishMatch calculators produce these figures and attach them to the RFQ.
Can equipment be sourced in stages?
Yes, and phased procurement is common. The usual sequence is water supply and holding infrastructure, then aeration and treatment, then automation and monitoring, then processing and cold chain. Staging works when interfaces and capacity headroom are defined at the start; otherwise later phases force replacement rather than addition.
