Aquaculture & RAS Procurement
How to request quotes for aquaculture and RAS equipment
Short answer
To request comparable aquaculture quotations, define target species, annual biomass, production system, water source and temperature profile, discharge limits and scope boundary. Global B2B Group structures those inputs into one documented request, reviews it manually, and routes reviewed aquaculture briefs to FishMatch Group before any supplier research is considered.
What this covers
- Recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) and partial-reuse systems
- Pond and cage farming infrastructure
- Fish and shrimp hatcheries and nurseries
- Water treatment, filtration, oxygenation and disinfection
- Feeding systems, monitoring, sensors and control
- Related harvest, processing and cold chain scope
What to define before quotations can be compared
1.Species and biomass
Target species, annual biomass, harvest size and stocking plan.
2.Production system
RAS, flow-through, pond, cage or hybrid — and whether hatchery and grow-out are in the same scope.
3.Water
Source, salinity, temperature profile, available flow and the discharge limits that apply at the site.
4.Site and energy
Country, site area, building status, power supply and backup requirements.
5.Scope boundary
Equipment supply, supply with installation, or turnkey including civil works, commissioning and biological start-up support.
6.Commercial frame
Budget range, delivery destination and Incoterm, and your decision timeline.

Calculator results are preliminary planning estimates for budgeting and comparison. They are not engineering, agronomic, nutritional, refrigeration or financial conclusions and are not a commitment of any kind.
What happens after you submit
Requesting a quotation through Global B2B Group is free and creates no obligation. Every serious request is reviewed by a person, missing technical or commercial information is raised with the buyer, and suitable suppliers or partners are researched only after that review. Buyers are not connected to suppliers automatically, buyer information is not published, and no supplier is approved, ranked or recommended automatically. No proposal, price, availability, timeline or outcome is promised.
Where financing is mentioned
Global B2B Group and its specialist platforms are not banks, lenders or financial advisers. Eligible projects may be introduced to independent financing or export-credit partners where relevant. Any assessment, terms, approval and commitment remain solely with those independent organizations.

Frequently asked questions
- Can a calculator tell me whether my RAS design will work biologically?
- No. The calculators produce preliminary planning estimates only. Biological, engineering and water-quality design conclusions require qualified specialists and are outside what any tool on this site provides.
- What if discharge limits at my site are not yet confirmed?
- State that they are unconfirmed. It is recorded as an open point in the request rather than filled in with an assumption.
- What does it cost a buyer to request quotations?
- Nothing. Preparing and submitting a request is free for buyers, and submitting one creates no obligation to proceed.
- Will my request be sent to suppliers automatically?
- No. The request is reviewed by a person first. Supplier or partner research is considered only after that review, and any introduction is a controlled step decided by Global B2B Group — never an automatic broadcast of your project to a supplier list.
- What happens if my scope is still incomplete?
- That is normal at this stage. The review identifies which technical and commercial details are missing, and those points are raised with you before anything is taken further.
