Development of aquaculture

In the course of intensive cultivation of agricultural products to supply the world's population with food, the recovery of food resources from the ocean, rivers, and ponds, known as the "blue revolution", has led to a steady increase in fish farming.

Fish farming in aquacultures has become a high value business, especially in the Northern European countries, as well as Asia, and also North and South America. Currently, 52 million tons of fish per year are entering into the food chain from aquaculture operations, resulting in the need for intensive farming solutions to meet the increasing demand. Sustainable solutions are therefore needed for the associated problems which can accopany intensified cultivation techniques such as: the increased use of antibiotics, measures against fouling due to excretions, and from the colonization of the enclosures by parasitic micro-organisms.
Other more visible threats include losses due to predatory marine animals and the importance of maintaining  the enclosure netting in a clean condition are also important topics for intensive fish farming. The inherent durability of the enclosure pens is another issue high on the agenda.AquaTec – HUESKER’s fish farm netting –  provides comprehensive answers to many of these problems; AquaTec enables the farmed fish to be kept in appropriate conditions for each species, AquaTec provides enhanced protection against predatory marine animals, AquaTec significantly decreases the maintenance costs, and AquaTec is considerably more durable than traditional types of  fish farm netting.

AquaTec – the fish farm netting of the future

By using AquaTec fish farm netting from HUESKER you will see the benefits for many years to come:

• Significantly increased durability through the use of high-quality raw materials.
• Dimensional stability of the individual mesh holes as well as the complete fish farming pen. 
• The high strength of the raw materials used, which increases the lifetime of the fish farm netting.
• Special polymeric coating, which makes anti-fouling equipment largely unnecessary.
