Sustainability and ESG requirements in aquaculture sourcing
FishMatch Group can write sustainability and certification requirements — for example ASC, BAP or GlobalG.A.P. — into your RFQ. Certificates are checked per supplier, species and site, never assumed; FishMatch does not certify anyone.
Recirculating systems treat and reuse most of their process water. The reuse rate depends on the design, so ask suppliers to state it in their offer.
FCR varies by species, system and management. Compare evidence from comparable farms rather than a generic figure.
RAS and biofloc designs can reduce nutrient discharge; the limit that applies is set by the site's discharge permit.
FAO's State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture 2024 reports that aquaculture produced 51% of aquatic animal production in 2022.
ESG framework
- Environmental — water reuse, energy efficiency, escapee prevention, low antibiotic use, low FIFO ratios (fish-in / fish-out).
- Social — rural employment and food security in producing markets; labour-practice evidence requested when your RFQ requires it.
- Governance — certification (ASC / BAP / GlobalG.A.P.) required when you ask for it and verified document by document, traceability, transparent financing terms.
Sustainability-linked financing may be available.
Some lenders and development-finance programmes offer green or blue-economy financing for aquaculture. Eligibility depends on each lender's criteria, the project and its evidence — nothing is approved in advance. Our financing desk can check options with your consent.

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.
