KikkoNet in Fish farming - Marine and Freshwater

KikkoNet provides the best opportunity for less maintenance, better protection and safety for the fish in today's aquaculture.

KikkoNet is a high performance net constructed from PET (polyethylene terephthalate) monofilaments with a double twisted hexagonal mesh.

The PET monofilament is a single, hard and smooth plastic wire; the surface area is limited compared to multifilament wire making it difficult to deposit eggs between the fibres. Growth of biofouling is limited and fouling detaches relatively easily thus resulting in high dissolved oxygen levels in the water flowing into the cage.

Nets made of KikkoNet offer more protection against predators like seals, sharks and sea lions. The material has a higher abrasion and cut resistance compared to other types of netting. This results in better resistance, with the ultimate advantage in less stress and loss of fish and less damage to the nets.

In 2014 - 2015  KikkoNet was installed in several submersible SeaStations moored off the coasts of Panama and Hawaii.

Since its introduction in 2010 hundreds of KikkoNet systems have been successfully installed in Scandinavia, the Shetland Islands, Australia and in the Americas, and continue today to protect the valuable live-stock of numerous fish farming companies without ever having been replaced.
