Independent aquaculture sourcing — built for serious industrial buyers.
FishMatch Group is an independent B2B procurement and sourcing platform for commercial aquaculture projects from USD $250K+. We do not build, install, engineer, operate or finance farms. This page explains exactly what we are and are not, how the private RFQ process works step by step, and what supplier qualification does and does not mean.
What FishMatch is — and what it is not.
- An independent B2B procurement and sourcing platform for commercial aquaculture projects from USD $250K+.
- A private RFQ layer: you send one specification, we route it to qualified third-party suppliers.
- A comparison layer: quotations normalized to the same scope, delivery terms, warranty and after-sales.
- A confidentiality layer: your identity and site are withheld from suppliers until you approve a shortlist.
- A documentary qualification layer: registration, export history, references and in-region service are reviewed before outreach.
- —Not a manufacturer, distributor, importer or equipment reseller.
- —Not an EPC contractor, engineering firm or installer — construction and installation are performed by third-party partners.
- —Not a farm operator — we do not run, manage or staff production facilities.
- —Not a lender, broker or regulated financial provider — financing terms are set solely by independent providers.
- —Not a certification body or auditor — qualification is documentary, not an inspection or performance guarantee.
- —Not a party to your supply, EPC or financing contract — you contract directly with the counterparty you choose.
One specification, comparable quotations.
- 1. You submit one specification
Species, system, capacity, site country, timeline and indicative budget. One structured form replaces dozens of separate supplier enquiries.
- 2. We normalize the brief
Missing technical parameters (flow rates, biomass targets, power, water source) are flagged so every supplier quotes the same scope.
- 3. Documentary qualification
Candidate suppliers are screened on registration, export history, reference projects, in-region service and current lead time.
- 4. Blind outreach
Suppliers are approached under FishMatch Group. Your name, company and coordinates are not disclosed until you approve the counterparty.
- 5. Comparable quotations
Typically 1–3 quotations, presented side by side with scope, incoterms, warranty, spares and lead time aligned.
- 6. You contract directly
You sign with the supplier of your choice. FishMatch stays available for clarification, logistics coordination support and financing introductions.
What qualification means — and what it does not.
- Corporate registration and legal existence checked against public records.
- Export history and experience shipping to your region reviewed.
- Reference projects of comparable species, system and capacity requested.
- In-region service, spare-parts and commissioning capability confirmed by the supplier.
- Current lead time and capacity confirmed before the quotation is issued.
- Repeated buyer-reported issues remove a supplier from future shortlists.
- —Not a factory audit, site inspection or product certification.
- —Not a guarantee of quality, delivery date, warranty performance or financial stability.
- —Not a substitute for your own due diligence, legal review and contract terms.
- —Not an endorsement — every qualified supplier competes on the same specification.
From private brief to signed contract.
You send a private RFQ or emergency need — species, system, capacity, site, timeline, budget. No public listing. No cold calls.
Our sourcing team reviews your brief, benchmarks it against comparable global projects, and shortlists suppliers that match your species, capacity and region.
Each shortlisted supplier is checked on documents — corporate registration, reference projects, in-region service capability, current lead time and export experience — before we contact them.
We approach suppliers on your behalf under FishMatch Group. Your name, company, coordinates and financials are never shared until you approve the counterparty.
You receive 1–3 comparable quotations with normalized scope, delivery terms, warranty and after-sales — plus our notes on strengths and open questions.
You contract directly with the supplier of your choice. FishMatch remains available for clarification support, logistics coordination and financing introductions.
Four commitments — in writing.
Your name, company and site coordinates are withheld from suppliers until you approve a shortlist. Financials are never shared without written consent.
FishMatch Group is not a manufacturer, distributor, broker or lender. We are not a party to any supply, EPC or financing contract — you sign directly with the counterparty.
One aquaculture specialist owns your file end-to-end: RFQ, quotes, clarifications, logistics coordination and financing introductions — across time zones and languages.
Project-matched partners across Europe, Asia, LATAM, Africa, the Gulf and North America. Species specialists for shrimp, tilapia, salmon, sea bass, sea bream and trout.
Buyer-side is free. Supplier-side is transparent.
Buyers submit RFQs, receive quotations, use our calculators, and negotiate with matched suppliers at no cost. There is no subscription, no listing fee and no data resale.
FishMatch Group is compensated by manufacturers on closed opportunities only. The commission does not sit on top of your price — it is factored into the quote you receive from the supplier, exactly as it would be for the supplier's own sales team. The commission does not create any preference: every project-matched manufacturer for your specification is invited to compete.
Where financing is involved, FishMatch may receive a referral fee from an independent financing partner if a facility closes. This is disclosed and does not affect the financing terms you are offered.
Built for industrial buyers, not tyre-kickers.
Expansion, retrofit, replacement equipment, emergency parts, supplier consolidation, service contracts.
Greenfield RAS, shrimp, tilapia, hatchery and processing projects — pre-project studies, EPC shortlists, financing introductions.
National aquaculture programmes, food-security projects, tender support, independent supplier assessment.
Vendor-neutral shortlists, second opinions on submitted quotes, hard-to-source component procurement.
The questions serious buyers always ask.
Send your specification. We do the sourcing.
- Confidential — supplier network only, never public
- Comparable quotations with normalized scope
- Optional financing introduction
- No cost, no obligation, no lock-in
Send us one fish, shrimp, hatchery or RAS project and we will help evaluate sourcing options — supplier shortlist, RFQ preparation and quotation comparison. Your client relationship stays with you.
