Aquaculture Floats

Breakthrough technology in terms of operational cost reductions, environmental sustainability and allowance of farming inclement offshore open waters. The shock-absorbing connection system allows fast installation. It also prevents the contact between the backbone rope and the floats resulting in increased rope life and elimination of lashings. The heavy-duty attachment points permit farming in extreme weather conditions without floats detaching or lashing/locking-pins breaking. Very versatile, the system can be used in conventional surface or sub-surface long line farming. For sub-surface applications, floats are designed with built-in quick connection receptacles for long life elastic cords. These elastic cords can be used to connect surface and sub-surface floats (Elastic Droppers) dampening the energy allowing farming in more extreme conditions and mitigating the “drop off” losses of product.
