Florida's aquaculture industry - from shrimp farms in the Panhandle to tilapia operations in South Florida - requires pallets that withstand wet, salty, and cold environments while meeting FDA seafood safety requirements.
Fish farms, hatcheries, and seafood processing plants operate in some of the harshest pallet environments - constant moisture, saltwater exposure, freezing temperatures, and strict FDA food safety requirements.
Florida ranks among the top states for aquaculture production - shrimp, tilapia, catfish, oysters, and ornamental fish. Seafood processing plants along the Gulf Coast and Atlantic coast move product on pallets from processing floor to frozen storage to distribution. In wet processing zones, plastic pallets outperform wood dramatically. For frozen distribution, GMA 48x40 pallets are standard for grocery and foodservice delivery. See our seafood pallets page for broader coverage.
Seafood exports from Florida ports require ISPM-15 heat-treated pallets with documentation for international compliance. Our delivery network covers aquaculture operations statewide - from Panhandle shrimp processors to South Florida tilapia farms. Florida Pallet Supply stocks both plastic and wood options to cover all aquaculture pallet needs.

Heat Treated Options →Plastic pallets are preferred for wet fish processing areas due to their non-porous, washdown-resistant surface that meets FDA HACCP requirements. GMA wood pallets work well for frozen seafood distribution in cold storage and outbound shipping. See our plastic vs wood pallets comparison for full guidance.
Yes. All wood pallets used for seafood exports leaving US ports must comply with ISPM-15 heat treatment requirements. Florida Pallet Supply stocks HT-stamped pallets with certification documentation for seafood exporters shipping through Florida ports.
Wood pallets degrade quickly in direct saltwater exposure and should not be used on processing floors where they contact seawater, fish effluent, or cleaning chemicals. Plastic pallets are the appropriate choice for wet zones. Wood pallets are suitable for dry storage, freezer staging areas, and outbound distribution.
We deliver to aquaculture and seafood processing operations throughout Florida - including Panhandle shrimp processors (Pensacola, Panama City), Gulf Coast seafood plants (Tampa, Fort Myers, Naples), Atlantic Coast processors, and South Florida tilapia and ornamental fish farms. We also serve GA, NJ, MD, and DE seafood operations.
In wet processing areas and HACCP-controlled zones of FDA-regulated seafood facilities, plastic pallets are strongly preferred. Their non-porous surface does not harbor bacteria the way wood grain can. Florida Pallet Supply supplies both plastic and food-safe wood pallets depending on the application zone within your facility.
