Services

Aquaculture consulting services for every phase of your project

Some clients bring us in from the first idea to full production. Others need help with one specific piece, like a permit application, an equipment decision, or staff training. Every service below can be hired on its own.

Planning

Get the fundamentals right before money goes into the ground. Planning decisions set your costs, your timeline, and your odds of success for years to come.

Aquaculture feasibility studies

A comprehensive operational and financial blueprint of your project before it's built: market acceptance and pricing, production model, operating costs and margin, free cash flow, CapEx, site, and permitting. A study can cover one area or all of them, and it can save a project millions.

Aquaculture business plans

A clear, investor-ready aquaculture business plan that explains your product, market, production approach, and path to profitability. We write it from the perspective of operators who have taken a plan all the way to a working farm, so it holds up to scrutiny.

Financial pro formas

Financial projections that model capital costs, operating expenses, production volumes, and revenue over time. A realistic pro forma shows whether a project is viable and helps you test different scenarios before committing.

Bio plans

A biological production plan covering stocking, growth, survival, feed, and harvest schedules for your species and system. It links what happens in the tanks or cages to your financial model and facility design.

Capital raises

Support preparing for and running a capital raise, from shaping the investment story to answering technical due-diligence questions. We've raised capital for our own commercial RAS facility and understand what investors look for.

Site selection

An evaluation of potential sites for fish farm feasibility, looking at water, power, access, zoning, and proximity to markets and suppliers. Choosing the right site early avoids problems that are expensive or impossible to fix later.

Regulatory approvals & government permits

Guidance through aquaculture permitting and regulatory approvals, including identifying which permits apply and preparing what agencies need to see. Getting this right keeps your project timeline from stalling while you wait on approvals.

Execution

Turn plans into a working facility on budget and on schedule, with systems designed around how the farm will actually run.

Construction budgeting & timeline management

Realistic construction budgets and schedules, plus ongoing tracking to keep the build on course. We help you spot cost and schedule risks early so milestones are met rather than missed.

Equipment procurement & selection

Unbiased help choosing pumps, filtration, oxygenation, monitoring, and other equipment, and sourcing it through our network of vendors and suppliers. The goal is the right equipment for your system, not the most expensive option.

System installation & commissioning

Oversight of installation and a structured commissioning process to confirm every system performs as designed before animals go in. Careful commissioning reduces start-up losses and early operating surprises.

Operations

Run the facility efficiently, reduce day-to-day operating costs, and get your product to market.

SOP development & staff training

Written standard operating procedures for daily husbandry, water quality, system maintenance, and emergency response, plus hands-on training so your team can follow them. Good SOPs make your operation consistent and less dependent on any one person.

Sales channel development & pricing negotiation

Help identifying and building sales channels for your product and negotiating pricing with buyers. Producing great product is only half the job. Getting it to the right buyers at the right price is the other half.

One task or the whole project, your choice

You don't need to hire us for everything. Many engagements start with one question (here's how a typical engagement works): Is this site workable? Is this equipment right for us? Will this pro forma survive investor review?

Others want a partner from planning through operations. Either way, you get the same honest assessment and access to the same network of vendors, suppliers, and industry experts.

Not sure which phase you're in? That's a perfectly good place to start. Here's why early input tends to pay off.
