Aquaculture projects in Russia: requirements and procurement
Start with species, annual capacity, site, water source and production goals. FishMatch Group reviews projects of USD 250,000+, structures the RFQ and compares responses through its team. Cross-border procurement eligibility is reviewed separately; supplier contacts are not released.

Site rights and project approvals
- Federal Law No. 148-FZ on aquaculture (fish farming) is the starting framework. Confirm its current consolidated version and requirements with the territorial Rosrybolovstvo office and qualified legal advisers.
- For a project using a water body, check whether a fish-farming plot and plot-use agreement are required. Do not automatically apply water-body allocation rules to a land-based RAS.
- Review land rights, abstraction, discharge, waste, construction and veterinary requirements separately. Environmental procedures depend on location and activity.
- Assign each approval to a named project responsibility before ordering equipment. A budget or technical proposal is not an operating permission.
RUB budgets and cross-border feasibility
- Request RUB pricing for local work and identify the currency of imported items separately. Record the exchange-rate date, source and adjustment mechanism.
- Before seeking a binding proposal, check applicable sanctions, export controls, transaction parties, payment, logistics and servicing. Supply, financing and payment availability are not guaranteed.
- Separate equipment, freight, customs, taxes, construction, installation, commissioning and spares. Do not present an unverified tax rate or exchange rate as current pricing.
Russian terms and specification units
- УЗВ means recirculating aquaculture system; садковое рыбоводство means cage farming. Define мальки (fry) and посадочный материал (stocking material) by the actual production stage.
- Separate harvest in t/year from peak biomass in kg. Use water volume in m³, flow in m³/h, feeding in kg/day and energy in kWh.
- Specify FCR, dissolved oxygen, temperature, salinity, backup power and acceptance-test conditions. Cage projects also need site-specific ice, wind loading and access reviews.
RFQ preparation
Include region and site coordinates, species/stage, system, annual capacity, water analyses, power, approval status, budget, currency and timing. Declare cross-border procurement constraints separately.

Buyer questions
Does every land-based RAS require a fish-farming plot?
Do not assume a universal requirement. Classify land-based facilities and water-body projects separately with competent authorities.
Is international supply guaranteed?
No. Legal restrictions, payment, logistics and servicing are reviewed for each transaction; circumvention is not offered.
