FishMatch Group · Industries

Who FishMatch Group works with — and how we increase project bankability.

We serve investors, operators, EPC firms, governments and lenders on large aquaculture projects only. We do not sell equipment. Every mandate runs through a neutral, confidential RFQ path so buyers, suppliers and financiers see the same, comparable spec.

What they need: Biosecure larval systems, live feed, water treatment, energy resilience, genetics sourcing.

  • Marine & freshwater hatchery engineering (broodstock → PL)
  • Live-feed room, water treatment, UV/ozone sizing
  • Off-grid solar & battery backup for remote sites
  • Neutral sourcing of tanks, filtration, algae systems

Seafood processors & exporters

Who: Processing plants integrating farm supply, filleting, IQF, cold storage and export.

What they need: HACCP / BRC / EU / FDA / GCC-ready plants, blast freezing, cold chain and reefer logistics.

  • Cold storage & blast freezer sizing
  • Export-lane logistics (reefer, port, documentation)
  • Traceability & certification path

EPC & engineering firms

Who: EPC contractors and integrators bidding on aquaculture packages who need a neutral supplier network.

What they need: Access to project-matched equipment vendors across categories, class-3 packages, benchmark budgets.

  • Neutral supplier shortlists across 24+ categories
  • Reference CAPEX splits and bankable spec templates
  • RFQ handling under NDA
  • No conflict of interest — we don't sell equipment

Governments & development banks

Who: Ministries of fisheries/agriculture, sovereign wealth vehicles, DFIs and multilateral programmes funding aquaculture.

What they need: Independent feasibility, class-3 budgets, sustainability & food-security framing, bankable RFQs.

  • Independent techno-economic studies (no vendor bias)
  • Job-creation, food-security and FX-substitution modelling
  • Solar & water-treatment integration for ESG mandates
  • Bankable RFQ packages aligned with DFI procurement rules

Lenders, DFIs & impact funds

Who: Banks, leasing houses, DFIs and impact investors evaluating aquaculture deals.

What they need: Independent technical review, realistic CAPEX/OPEX, sensitivity analysis, sponsor readiness.

  • Independent technical review of sponsor submissions
  • Class-3 CAPEX benchmarking against comparable projects
  • Scenario modelling (pessimistic / base / optimistic)
  • Warm intros to bankable, project-matched sponsors

Cold chain & export operators

Who: Cold storage, reefer logistics and export platforms serving farmed seafood.

What they need: Blast freezing, cold rooms, traceability, port-to-port routing and buyer alignment.

  • Cold storage & blast-freezer sizing
  • Reefer container and multi-modal export routing
  • Integration with upstream processing plants
  • Neutral vendor shortlists (refrigeration, racking, WMS)
