Shrimp farm planning checklist: site, permits, costs and request
Short answer: work through five steps in order — prove the site, confirm the approvals for that exact site, plan the permits for post-larvae, feed and water, size and compare costs with your own figures, then send one private request. Tick what you have; attach the list to your shrimp request so the review team sees what is ready and what is still open.

Site: prove it before anything is priced
The site decides which system is realistic, which approvals apply and most of the cost. Collect evidence a supplier or engineer can check, not descriptions.

Approvals: confirm the route for your country and exact site
Most routes combine an aquaculture licence or registration, an environmental assessment decision, a water permit and proof of land use. Which apply, and in what order, depends on the country and often the province or state.

Permits for post-larvae, feed and water
Permits for what goes into the farm are often issued per shipment or per activity, separately from the farm's own approval — and they decide whether the farm can be stocked at all.
Costs: size it with your own figures, then compare like for like
There is no single verified price for a shrimp farm. Cost follows the system and the site, so size the project with your own inputs and ask every supplier to quote the same scope.

Request: send one private brief
Send the request once you can state the country and site, species, system and target harvest — approvals can still be in progress. A person reviews every request, and supplier identities stay private.

Shrimp planning checklist FAQ
- Do I need every item ticked before I send a shrimp request?
- No. Send the request once you can state the country and site, species, system and target harvest. Approvals and some evidence can still be in progress — list what is open so the review team and suppliers know what is still to come.
- How does this checklist relate to the shrimp buyer's journey?
- It follows the same five steps — site, approvals, permits for post-larvae, feed and water, costs, and the request — as a list you can tick off. The buyer's journey explains each step and lists the approval route for each country.
- Can I attach my checklist to the request?
- Yes. The attach button copies what you marked ready and what is still open into the single shrimp request form. It stays in your browser until you submit and expires after two hours.
- Does FishMatch confirm permits or prices?
- No. This is planning guidance, not legal advice: FishMatch does not issue or approve permits, and rules change, so confirm them with the competent authority. Calculator results are scenarios built from your inputs, not supplier quotes or local prices.
