Who this is for

  • Aquaculture investors sizing a new fish or shrimp project.
  • Engineering consultants preparing bank-ready feasibility studies.
  • Procurement managers issuing an international RFQ.
  • Hatchery, RAS and processing plant operators evaluating expansions.

How it works

  1. 1Enter your project parameters — species, capacity and site conditions.
  2. 2The tool applies industry benchmarks and returns dimensioned outputs.
  3. 3Export or copy the numbers straight into your specification and RFQ.

Why it matters

  • Independent of any supplier — outputs are neutral engineering figures.
  • Removes guesswork before you request quotations.
  • Aligns budget, engineering and procurement teams on a single number.
  • Turns straight into an RFQ line item or financing input.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. Every Planning Center tool, including Export & International Sourcing, is free and runs entirely in your browser. Buyers pay no fee, and suppliers cannot pay for ranking or shortlist position.

No. Export & International Sourcing requires no sign-up. Your inputs never leave your device.

Export & International Sourcing produces industry-standard engineering figures suitable for feasibility studies and RFQ documents. For financial close, pair it with the CAPEX, OPEX and ROI calculators and a stamped detailed design from a licensed engineer.

Yes. Export & International Sourcing covers the aquaculture systems FishMatch Group specialises in — shrimp, tilapia, salmon, sea bass, trout, hatcheries, RAS and processing.

Copy the output into the RFQ Builder or the Technical Specification Template. FishMatch Group forwards the confidential brief to project-matched international manufacturers only.

Benchmarks are curated by the FishMatch Group aquaculture engineering team. Always validate against site-specific conditions and licensed engineering review.

Supplier selection criteria

How should a buyer compare aquaculture suppliers?

Compare on evidence, not on presentation: delivered projects at a similar scale and climate, engineering support during design, lead time commitments, spare-part and service availability in your region, certification and testing documentation, payment and warranty terms, and willingness to quote against your specification rather than substituting a catalogue package.

What are the warning signs in a supplier quotation?

Treat these as review triggers: no itemised scope, guaranteed biological or financial performance, no named delivery terms or lead time, no spare-parts or service statement, unclear responsibility for installation and commissioning, and equipment sizing that does not reference your water temperature, oxygen demand or biomass targets.

How does FishMatch handle supplier selection?

FishMatch is an independent sourcing service, not a manufacturer or reseller. The buyer submits one structured project request; our team reviews it first and only then contacts suitable suppliers on the buyer's behalf, presenting their responses through FishMatch in a comparable format. Buyers do not contact suppliers directly and nothing is sent automatically. The final choice stays with the buyer.
