Hatchery or grow-out equipment: keep the scopes separate
| Option | Usually fits | What the RFQ must specify |
|---|---|---|
| Hatchery and broodstock | Egg, larval and juvenile production by batch | Batch output, water quality and temperature control, live-feed systems, biosecurity zoning |
| Nursery | Bridging juveniles to grow-out size | Stocking plan, aeration, grading, transfer and health checks |
| Grow-out | Production to harvest size | Annual tonnage, peak biomass, feed and oxygen duty — quoted separately from the hatchery |
Hatchery capacity is specified in juveniles per batch and per year, not in tonnes of fish.
Project brief checklist
Comparable quotes need the same eight facts from every buyer. Mark anything not yet known as “unknown”.
- Species and life stage — e.g. whiteleg shrimp grow-out, salmon smolt, tilapia fingerlings
- Production target — tonnes per year or juveniles per batch, with harvest size
- Site and water conditions — fresh, brackish or sea water; source; seasonal temperature and salinity tests
- Capacity basis — peak biomass, feed per day, flow or throughput the equipment must handle
- Energy — grid capacity, tariff, backup generation and any renewable supply
- Budget range — with currency and what it must include (equipment only, installed, turnkey)
- Destination — farm location, receiving port and, for product, the target market
- Project stage — study, design, permits, tender or build — and who already holds which approvals
FishMatch is a buyer-side RFQ and supplier-coordination service: the team turns your brief into one comparable request, approaches suitable providers after human review and returns offers on the same basis. It does not own farms or stock equipment, and it does not guarantee suppliers, yields, prices or permits. Managed sourcing is free to buyers for commercial projects from USD 250,000; the guides and calculators stay open to every project size.

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.
