Start year 2010 End year 2010 Funding (€) € 32,050 Website https://www.fhf.no/prosjekter/prosjektbasen/900483/ Summary "Various initiatives and projects have previously been made with a view to new solutions for farmed nets and some innovations have seen the light of day. Nevertheless, the net market is still dominated by relatively traditional nylon nets with major challenges related to escape safety and overgrowth. There is therefore a need to gather expertise on the progress of recent years in materials and chemistry and to identify knowledge gaps and possible new directions of development.
FHF has expressed interest in research and development in the area and calls for a working meeting that brings together various business actors as well as people with interesting expertise outside the industry to meet and initiate research and development activities.
SINTEF Fisheries and Aquaculture has for many years worked with the development of knowledge and technology for the aquaculture industry, among other things aimed at reducing vegetation and to prevent the escape of fish. The projects are funded by industry actors, the Research Council of Norway, the EU, and the Fisheries and Aquaculture Research Fund. Development of competence and knowledge for nets and net material that will reduce and prevent overgrowth and escape is part of SINTEF Fisheries and Aquaculture's long-term research strategy. This is made visible, among other things, through activities in CREATE (Center for aquaculture technology) and by prioritizing own strategic research funds for future aquaculture nets. This project aims to start a development of the farming net of the future, without too strong ties to existing technology. It is envisaged that the farming net of the future should be escape-proof and fouling-free, as well as satisfy all necessary requirements for modern farming. One limitation is that it must be possible to use it within the framework of a fish farm today, ie in a system with traditional floating collars and anchoring systems."
