Because the net panels are held taut, underwater cleaning with a hydraulic cleaner is much easier than with conventional pens. In conventional cages, pen volume is significantly reduced by drag forces on the netting caused by current. All of these benefits result in more efficient conversion of food to muscle and ultimately more profit to the fish farmer. The simple design translates to low maintenance, easy installation, and exceptional value. Ocean forces such as waves and currents pass easily through the System leaving it relatively unaffected.
Less movement means less wear for longer life and reduced maintenance.
And with only 8 connection points needed to make the Ocean Spar complete, installation is made easy. Simplicity of design married with the highest quality materials and engineering make Ocean Spar an exceptional system. The team at Ocean Spar Technologies has been designing and developing ocean systems for the past twenty-five years. This includes a worldwide market study of the industry s needs, extensive engineering feasibility studies and the actual operation of its systems raising fish in high energy, oceanic conditions. Custom Designed Exposed sites differ considerably in the mix of conditions that a cage must withstand.
