Set an initial harvest date based on projected growth, but revise it monthly as actual sampling data comes in. Growth rate tracking tools can help.
Confirm buyer commitments and transport logistics at least 2 weeks before the scheduled harvest date.
Fish should be fasted 24–48 hours before grading to reduce stress and waste. Plan feed inventory accordingly around grading dates.
Generates individual all-day ICS events for stocking, each grading, and harvest. Calendar export uses RFC 5545 iCalendar format. All processing is client-side.

Effective production planning ensures that labor, equipment, feed, and market access are coordinated across the full growout cycle. Key milestones — stocking, size gradings, and harvest — each require advance preparation. Missing a grading window leads to size variation and reduced market value. Missing a harvest window can mean feeding past the efficient growth phase, increasing FCR and reducing profit. This tool builds a complete production calendar that syncs to your team’s calendars.
