A full range of polysteel rope and pot ropes are also available to serve the growing static gear fisheries. Large quantities of stock allow us to offer prompt delivery with overnight carriage available to many locations throughout the UK.

Boris Nets began supplying the Scottish Fish farming industry in 1984, and have continued to perform at the forefront of the aquaculture industry worldwide. Today our designs and products are in use at many locations by fish farmers, including Europe, Mexico, Africa and the Caribbean. Our cages are manufactured to the highest of standards using innovative designs, materials and technical information gathered throughout over 30 years of working hand in hand with our large customer base.

For many species, including salmon, sea bass and sea bream. The cage nets are manufactured from nylon, polyester, Dyneema and HDPE, depending on customer requirements. The netting is usually hand mounted to UV-stabilised polysteel ropes of various diameters from 12mm up to 28mm, depending on cage size and environmental conditions. Hand mounting is used on heavy weather cage nets because there is much greater control of the ratio of rope to netting. All ropes are hand spliced, with either loops or rings on the top ropes. Hand holds, if required, can be fitted on all vertical ropes.

For salmon and trout. As for sea cage nets, the cage nets are manufactured from nylon or Dyneema, depending on customer requirements. The netting is usually hand mounted to UV-stabilised polysteel ropes of various diameters from 12mm up to 18mm, depending on cage size and environmental conditions. Hand mounting is essential on Dyneema cage nets because there is much greater control of the ratio of rope to netting. All ropes are hand spliced, with either loops or rings on the top ropes. Hand holds, if required, can be fitted on all vertical ropes.

Submerged Anti-Predator Nets for diving birds, seals, and other species mesh sizes include 45mm, 75mm, 100mm & 200mm.

These are made from a high-quality semi-porous nylon or polyester material. Boris Nets can supply either curtains or enclosed bags.

High-quality Nylon knotless netting is, in most cases, set on the square. This helps to prevent net distortion and allows a good water exchange. At modern fish farms, impacts on predatory sharks and marine mammals are being minimised with improved net technologies and removing dead fish from cages to prevent predation on cultured fish. Siting away from known aggregation sites and installing rigid predator exclusion nets effectively prevent adverse impacts on cultured fish, farm structures and marine predators.

Ponds, raceways, recirculating systems, and cages are the four culture systems available for fish. A cage, sometimes known as a net pen, is a mechanism that restricts fish or shellfish in a mesh enclosure. The construction of a cage and a net pen differs by definition. A cage has a rigid frame (on all sides), but a net pen has a stiff frame at the top. The phrases “cage” and “net pen” are sometimes used interchangeably.
