About Aquaculture Farming

Aquaculture is more than about providing an important source of protein to us, it also ensures seafood sustainability and ocean conservation

In the U.S. the growth of seafood consumption is driven by lifestyle changes, demographic-shifts, and health concerns as consumers seek alternatives to beef, pork and fowls, leading to “pescetarianism”. Commercial landings do not come close to satisfying the increasing demand for seafood and aquaculture is making up the difference. Notably, the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization statistics showed that in the period from 1990 to 2018, global aquaculture production rose +527% whereas capture fisheries rose only +14%.

The U.S. government created the American Blue Economy Strategic Plan for 2021-2025 to preserve ocean sustainability and encourage investment in the domestic aquaculture.

Our webite is for aquaculture farms, their clients and suppliers that support the broader mariculture farming infrastructures.

This is what we can do for the aquaculture industry

We provide a marketplace for the aquaculture industry to showcase their farms, display their livestocks online, and the availability of their livestock.

Operators can use us to highlight their farm's heritage, expertise and owners' commitment.

Our application helps set up the farm's supply chain by working with both suppliers and buyers in the aquaculture industry by connecting participating parties online.

Farms can connect with and receive new product offers such as feed-types from suppliers.

Buyers can conduct price-discoveries, order livestock and pay in full or deposit for a future delivery, which farms can use to fund purchases from hatcheries.

Farms, suppliers and buyers can set up their shortlists of customers to help with customer management, to communicate with each other, and monitor their transactions with them.

We also help farms to monitor orders for livestock feed and related expenses.
