FAQ

Pricing depends on production capacity, technical duty, automation, materials, delivery and installation scope. Submit the site and project specification so FishMatch can seek comparable responses from relevant manufacturers serving United Arab Emirates; availability depends on scope and supplier interest.

International manufacturers may quote delivery to United Arab Emirates, subject to project scope and their current market coverage. The RFQ should state the delivery point, Incoterm, customs responsibility, installation boundary and local-service requirement.

Eligible projects may be introduced to independent third-party equipment-leasing and export-credit providers. FishMatch Group is not a lender; availability, terms and approval are determined solely by the provider.

No. Buyers pay no fee, and suppliers cannot pay for ranking or shortlist position.
FishMatch Group and the other Global B2B Group platforms are committed to conducting their own activities in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. FishMatch facilitates sourcing and RFQs; it does not manufacture, process, export or sell the listed products and does not grant regulatory approval.

What applies locally in the UAE

Most UAE RAS designs are shaped by the site and licence as much as by the fish — check these before fixing a design.

  • A farm licence from the federal ministry, renewed yearly

    The Ministry of Climate Change and Environment issues the licence to establish an aquaculture production farm: online form, payment, review, site inspection, electronic licence valid one year.

  • One federal law on aquatic resources

    Federal Law No. 23 of 1999 governs the exploitation, protection and development of living aquatic resources; Cabinet Resolution No. 120 of 2023 sets penalties.

  • Official site-selection criteria

    The ministry's UAE Aquaculture Guide (2017) covers farm classification, licensing and site-selection criteria — screen sites before asking for designs.

  • Emirate rules can add to federal ones

    Abu Dhabi has a Sustainable Aquaculture Policy (March 2019), and its environment agency launched the emirate's first sea-cage aquaculture project in August 2024.

Short answer

How do you source UAE for a commercial aquaculture project?

Start from the process requirement — biomass, flow, water quality target and site constraints — not from a product catalogue. FishMatch Group converts that requirement into a specification for UAE, sources it from matched manufacturers and integrators across Europe, Asia and the Americas, and returns like-for-like quotations with lead times, energy consumption and lifetime running cost stated in the same format.

What we compare:
Scope, capacity, energy use, lead time and total cost of ownership
Typical turnaround:
Depends on scope and site data; no turnaround is guaranteed
Delivery terms:
Quotations normalised to EXW / FOB / CIF so prices are like-for-like
Cost to buyers:
No fee charged to the buyer

Before you request quotes

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.
