Is the pre-project review really free?

The initial sourcing and partner-matching is free for qualified buyers. Detailed studies, on-site visits and engineering work are quoted directly by the specialist partner.

Which species and systems do you cover?

RAS (salmon, trout, sea bass, sea bream, tilapia, shrimp), flow-through, biofloc, pond, cage and offshore — freshwater and marine, hatchery through grow-out.

How fast can we start?

Most pre-project briefs receive a shortlist of qualified specialists within 24–72 hours.

Pre-project services

From idea to investable aquaculture project.
