KikkoNet in fish farming with floating and summersible cages - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

KikkoNet in fish farming with floating and summersible cages Introducing Maccaferri KikkoNet Solutions for offshore mariculture OFFSHORE MARICULTURE Conference Europe 2016 6-8 April 2016 – Barcelona Mr. Massimo Branzanti International Product and Business Development Manager Maccaferri – KikkoNet Division

What is this KikkoNet? KikkoNet is an innovative net made of UV stabilised PET monofilaments, woven into a double twisted hexagonal mesh, with specific and unique characteristics. KikkoNet Net Pens provide ideal conditions for the growth of almost all fish species. 2

Supply Our Mission Assembling To become a leading international provider of advanced netting Manufacturing solutions for the aquaculture and mariculture market from design to Design commissioning. Research 3

KikkoNet Mesh Type Length – L1 Wire diameter Mesh size • Small Mesh 2,50 mm 35 mm 43 mm • Small Mesh 3,00 mm • Large Mesh 2,50 mm 45 mm 70 mm • Large Mesh 3,00 mm • Super Large Mesh 3,00 mm 75 mm 100 mm • Super Large Mesh 3,50 mm 5

Characteristics of the KikkoNet - Long life (4-5 times more than traditional material). NS 9415 - Reduced biofouling - No need to remove cage from water for a long time - Low maintenance cost - Less flexible than other material, hence less stress and more oxigenation for the fish - Resistant to virtually any predator 6

Biofouling and KikkoNet The KikkoNet is easily cleaned, inspected and maintained while in the water (no anti-fouling used). • Hard, smooth and tough surface that resists marine fouling thanks to the monofilament • Frequency of cleaning cycles greately reduced • Optimized water flow allows for maximum oxygen supply to fish 7
