Why Malaysia

Malaysia is one of the global shrimp powerhouses, with production concentrated in Perak, Johor, Kedah, Sabah, Sarawak and exports flowing through Port Klang, Penang, Johor (PTP), Kota Kinabalu. Buyers face fragmented supplier markets, opaque pricing and language barriers — FishMatch removes all three.

What we source

Complete grow-out and hatchery turn-key projects, RAS and biofloc retrofits, aeration, water treatment, automatic feeders, oxygen generators, plus broodstock and post-larvae partners. We do not publish supplier names; matches are private to each request.

Financing layer

With your consent, a shrimp project can be referred to independent financing providers for equipment leasing, buyer credit, trade finance or working capital. Each provider sets its own terms and decides case by case. We are not a lender.

Size your harvest vacuum before you request quotes

Shrimp Harvest Vacuum & Pump Sizing

Shrimp harvest vacuum (fish pump) systems are specified by live product throughput, the water carried with the product, hose diameter, lift height and the vacuum level the pump must hold without damaging the animals. Size the duty here, then request comparable quotes on the same spec.

Shorter windows raise pump size and cooling/ice demand.

2–4 typical for vannamei; gentler handling needs more water.

1.5–2.0 m/s keeps shrimp intact; above 2.5 m/s raises damage.

Required throughput
4 t/hr
12,000 kg in 3 h
Total pumped flow
16 m³/hr
12 m³/hr water + 4 m³/hr product
Hose / pipe diameter
56 mm
At 1.8 m/s design velocity — round up to the next standard size
Vacuum level required
0.51 bar
≈ 382 mmHg — static lift 4 m plus hose friction
Total dynamic head
7.2 m
Lift + hose friction + discharge allowance
Installed pump power
0.7 kW
Shaft 0.5 kW at 60% efficiency + 25% margin

Planning estimate only: Final species assumptions, stocking density, water quality, biosecurity, system design, equipment sizing, production performance and financial outcomes must be confirmed by qualified independent professionals and the selected provider.

Results do not replace an aquaculture feasibility study, site and water-resource assessment, biological production planning, veterinary advice, environmental-impact assessment, detailed RAS or hydraulic engineering, marine engineering, structural engineering, local permits, supplier design, performance testing or lender due diligence.

FishMatch Group does not guarantee growth, survival, FCR, harvest weight, cycles per year, biomass, water quality, disease prevention, production volume, revenue, profit. Outputs are not legal, financial, engineering, tax or veterinary advice. Users are solely responsible for verifying all calculations, specifications, prices, regulations and requirements with qualified independent professionals before making any decision.

Supplier and manufacturer listings are provided for research, transparency and discovery only. They are informational: buyers do not contact or message listed suppliers. Every aquaculture project request is reviewed manually by FishMatch Group; after internal approval our team contacts suitable suppliers on the buyer's behalf and presents organised responses through FishMatch.

FAQ

No. Supplier identities are confidential until both sides agree to engage. This protects pricing, margins and your sourcing strategy.

A person on our team replies within one business day. Supplier quote timing depends on the scope and the suppliers, so no turnaround is promised.

Managed sourcing is for projects of USD 250,000 or more. Smaller projects can use the free calculators and guides; requests below the threshold are kept on file but not sent to suppliers.

Most demand comes from Perak, Johor, Kedah, Sabah, Sarawak. We match suppliers who already ship, install and support systems in those areas, so lead times and spare-part logistics are realistic rather than theoretical.

Projects in Malaysia typically run L. vannamei & P. monodon. Species drives aeration load, water exchange, feed strategy and harvest handling, so tell us the species in your brief and quotes come back sized correctly.

Consignments normally clear through Port Klang, Penang, Johor (PTP), Kota Kinabalu. Quotes can be issued FOB, CIF or DAP so you can compare landed cost, duties and inland transport on the same basis.

Yes. Use the free pond volume, stocking density and shrimp farm cost calculators to fix pond area, biomass and budget first, then send the outputs with your quote request so suppliers price the same specification.

Stocked items such as paddlewheel aerators, blowers, pumps, feeders and liners are usually 2–4 weeks ex-works plus 3–6 weeks ocean transit to Port Klang, Penang, Johor (PTP), Kota Kinabalu. Built-to-order RAS skids, drum filters, oxygen generators and processing lines run 8–16 weeks in production. Customs clearance, import permits and any farm or site approvals have no fixed duration: the Malaysia authorities set them, and timing depends on the product, the documents and the site. Build your schedule from four parts — the processing time each authority states for your application, the documents the importer must hold before shipment, supplier production and transit, and inland delivery to Perak, Johor, Kedah, Sabah, Sarawak plus installation after clearance. Ask each authority for its current timeframe in writing and keep delivery dates conditional on clearance.

Sizing starts from pond volume and target biomass: fix total water volume, then set exchange or recirculation rate, harvest flow and solids load. Vacuum harvest pumps are specified by flow (m³/h), suction lift, hose diameter and solids handling, while aeration is sized in kW per hectare against peak biomass. Run the harvest vacuum, pond volume and stocking density calculators first so every supplier quotes the same duty point.

Standard import packs include the commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading or air waybill, certificate of origin, HS classification and, where applicable, an import permit or licence. Machinery normally needs CE or equivalent conformity declarations, electrical ratings matched to local voltage and frequency, plus manuals and spare-part lists. Live animals, feed and biologicals require separate veterinary or sanitary certificates from the competent authority in Malaysia.

Export consignments through Port Klang, Penang, Johor (PTP), Kota Kinabalu typically require a health or sanitary certificate from the competent authority, farm registration details, HACCP and traceability records, certificate of origin and, for the EU/US/Japan, buyer-specific residue and antibiotic testing. Plan the cold-chain and processing specification around those requirements so the line is compliant from day one.

Quotes can be issued FOB, CIF or DAP Port Klang, Penang, Johor (PTP), Kota Kinabalu. FOB leaves freight, insurance, duties and inland transport with you; CIF covers sea freight and insurance; DAP delivers to site. Duties and VAT remain the importer's responsibility. Installation and commissioning are quoted separately as supervision-only or full turnkey, and we flag which suppliers already have service coverage in Perak, Johor, Kedah, Sabah, Sarawak.
