Quick answer

What is FCR in aquaculture?

Feed conversion ratio (FCR) is kilograms of feed given per kilogram of biomass gained: FCR = total feed ÷ (final biomass − initial biomass). Lower is better. Compare it with your own past cycles and your feed supplier's feeding table for the same species, size and system — not with a universal number.

How do you calculate FCR in shrimp farming?
Divide total feed given by the weight the shrimp gained: FCR = feed used (kg) ÷ (harvest biomass − stocked biomass) (kg). Count all feed delivered to the water, and count the biomass you stocked, not just the animals that survived.

What we source

Source aquafeed at industrial volumes: extruded sinking and floating feeds, starters, broodstock diets, functional feeds, and alternative-protein formulations.

  • Species-specific extruded feeds
  • Starter, grower, finisher diets
  • Functional & medicated diets
  • Alternative protein (insect, single-cell)

Private by design.

You'll never see supplier names. We run a sealed-bid process and present anonymized proposals — you choose the winner, we handle the introduction and the contract.

Markets we source aquafeed for

Sourcing runs the same way in every market: one structured specification, matched suppliers with real export experience for that destination, and anonymized bids priced on the same scope. Country pages below carry the local logistics, certification and installation detail.

Aquafeed is covered as part of the farm plan — feed suppliers and aquafeed manufacturers are compared on the species and stage the project needs.

Aquafeed: equipment guides and planning tools

Product-type guides explain what each item does, published specification ranges and what to put in a request. Size the project with the calculators, then send one reviewed RFQ.

FAQ

Aquaculture feed — sourcing & FCR FAQ

How buyers pick and price extruded feed for finfish and shrimp.

On delivered cost per kg of fish/shrimp gained — not per kg of feed. FCR, pellet stability, digestibility and delivery lead time matter as much as headline price. We benchmark all four in the anonymized bid pack.

Grow-out finfish and shrimp almost always want extruded (floating or sinking) for water stability and digestibility. Pressed pellets remain viable for some low-intensity freshwater applications only.

Yes during high-risk windows — post-transfer, disease pressure, temperature swings. Functional feeds cost more per ton but usually pay back in FCR and survival.

Yes — vendor-neutral across major feed producers. Suppliers remain anonymous until you select a winning offer.
