FishMatch Group · Project procurement
Aquaculture projects for other species
Define the species and life stage first, then compare ponds, RAS, raceways or cages against the exact site, water, climate, peak biological loads and route to market. A coordinated project can include hatchery, grow-out, utilities and harvest handling; these modules are optional and must have explicit boundaries.
Managed infrastructure procurement from USD 250,000 total project value · Free to buyers · Supplier-funded
Project options and scope basis
| Project | System | Capacity basis | Procurement interfaces |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pond farm | Earthen or lined ponds | Buyer-entered area, water balance and cohort plan | Earthworks, intake, aeration, drainage and harvest |
| Recirculating farm | RAS tanks and treatment | Species-specific peak feed and biomass basis | Solids, biofiltration, oxygen, temperature and standby |
| Cage project | Freshwater or marine cages | Site-specific carrying capacity and exposure study | Moorings, feeding, handling, shore utilities and permits |
| Hatchery or nursery | Species-specific early life stages | Buyer-entered batches, delivery size and health requirements | Water quality, live feed where needed, quarantine and transfers |
Use buyer-entered assumptions and dated site evidence. No standard CAPEX, yield, survival or supplier availability is implied.
Define your project context
- Greenfield farm: establish the species, site and market basis before choosing a system or turnkey scope.
- Expansion or modernization: distinguish existing capacity, measured bottlenecks and the proposed upgrade.
- Integrated program: align seed supply, grow-out, harvest, processing and cold chain without assuming every module is included.
Equipment and interfaces
- Species-appropriate grow-out units and handling
- Intake, treatment, reuse and effluent interfaces
- Feeding, oxygen or aeration, monitoring and alarms
- Utility connections, backup and maintenance access
- Optional hatchery, processing, chilling and cold chain
Checks before an RFQ
- Identify species, life stage, intended product and destination.
- Provide water analysis, site survey, climate and applicable permit evidence.
- Have qualified engineers validate peak loads and module compatibility.
- Define owner-supplied works, installation scope and contractor responsibilities.
- Request common acceptance tests, warranty terms, training, exclusions and evidence.
How procurement works
- 01
Define species, site, capacity, scope and unknowns in one brief.
- 02
FishMatch staff check completeness and qualification before any sourcing.
- 03
Staff coordinate provider questions and comparable scope privately; identities and contacts stay confidential.
- 04
Review exclusions, evidence and next actions through FishMatch; independent contractors retain responsibility for their work.
Planning tools and related scope
Project, seafood supply or RFQ service: which one do you need?
Commercial aquaculture project
Building, expanding or equipping a fish farm, shrimp farm, hatchery, RAS or processing line. You describe species, capacity, system, site and water.
Prepare your private briefSeafood sourcing
Buying farmed fish or shrimp as a product, not equipment. A separate brief asks for species, specification, volume, destination and cold chain.
Open the seafood sourcing briefHuman-reviewed RFQ service
There is no instant or automated supplier match. Manufacturer research happens after the project requirement is clear and is reviewed by the FishMatch team before any supplier is approached. No quote, price or financing is guaranteed.
How the review works
Buyers pay nothing. Managed requests start at USD 250,000: total project value for farms and equipment, or total annual or seasonal program value for seafood. FishMatch Group owns no farms or stock and guarantees no availability, price, quality, approval or delivery. Hobby, aquarium, backyard and ornamental systems are outside this service; the free calculators stay open to everyone. Free calculators
Buyer questions
Does the same system work for every species?
No. Temperature, salinity, oxygen, waste loading, behavior and life stage differ. A system needs species- and site-specific validation; a generic capacity label is insufficient.
What does turnkey include?
Only the scope explicitly agreed in the contract. Separate engineering, civil works, equipment, installation, commissioning, training, hatchery, processing and cold chain. FishMatch is not the EPC contractor.
Can FishMatch arrange financing?
Financing preparation and any introduction are separate from sourcing and require separate consent and applicable legal checks. FishMatch does not make credit decisions, pre-approve finance or guarantee funding.
Who sees my project details?
Only authorized FishMatch staff handle the private sourcing workflow. Buyers do not receive supplier identities or contact details; supplier communications are staff-mediated.
Can I submit a smaller project?
Managed infrastructure procurement starts at USD 250,000 total project value. The existing intake can save smaller requests and point to free planning tools; they are not queued for managed sourcing.
Prepare your private brief
FishMatch is not a farm operator, manufacturer, EPC contractor or lender. Requirements vary by species, product and country; qualified engineering and local regulatory review remain necessary.
