What a screened premium seafood supplier profile covers
This is an illustrative template, not a listing. It shows the details the team collects about a premium seafood supplier, so you know what to ask for. Supplier names, sites and contacts are never shown to buyers; introductions happen only after a person reviews your request.
Species and products
- Species
- Scientific and trade names, e.g. Penaeus vannamei (whiteleg shrimp)
- Farmed or wild
- Stated per product, with the evidence offered (farm/hatchery records or catch area)
- Forms
- e.g. HOSO, HLSO, peeled; raw or cooked
- Size / count basis
- Unit (per lb or per kg) and the form the count applies to
Origin and production
- Country and region
- Shown to buyers at country/region level only
- Production method
- e.g. pond, RAS, cage — as declared by the supplier
- Seasonality
- Harvest windows the supplier reports
- Lot traceability
- How carton lot codes link to production records
Cold chain and packing
- Freezing
- IQF, semi-IQF or block; glaze and net-weight declaration
- Storage and transport
- Declared temperatures and whether records are shared
- Packing
- Inner pack, master carton, labelling language
- Shipping terms
- Incoterms the supplier normally offers
Certificates and documents
- Certificates claimed
- Listed as claimed — buyers should verify each one with the issuer
- Export approvals
- Destination markets the supplier says it is approved for — to confirm with the authority
- Documents per shipment
- e.g. health certificate, packing list, certificate of origin, where required

How does FishMatch Group source suppliers for this requirement?
You submit one structured request. We translate it into a technical RFQ, run it against qualified manufacturers and integrators in the relevant categories, and return normalised quotations you can compare side by side on scope, lead time and total cost of ownership.
Do buyers see supplier names during the sourcing process?
No. Supplier identities stay confidential during discovery and evaluation. You receive anonymised, comparable technical and commercial packages, and introductions happen only after both sides are qualified and agree to proceed.
Before you request quotes
Equipment scope
What equipment does a commercial aquaculture project actually need?
A grow-out project typically needs holding infrastructure (tanks, ponds or cages), water movement (pumps, piping, valves), aeration or oxygenation, water treatment appropriate to the system, feeding equipment, grading and handling gear, monitoring and alarms, and backup power. RAS adds mechanical filtration, biofiltration, degassing, disinfection and tighter process control. Hatchery and processing scopes are specified separately.
Which equipment should be specified before requesting quotes?
Specify the items whose sizing changes everything downstream: design biomass and stocking density, water exchange or recirculation rate, oxygen demand at peak temperature, and installed pumping head. With those four fixed, suppliers can quote aeration, filtration, pumps and power on the same basis. FishMatch calculators produce these figures and attach them to the RFQ.
Can equipment be sourced in stages?
Yes, and phased procurement is common. The usual sequence is water supply and holding infrastructure, then aeration and treatment, then automation and monitoring, then processing and cold chain. Staging works when interfaces and capacity headroom are defined at the start; otherwise later phases force replacement rather than addition.
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.
