Nautilus has been developed based on experiences with Atlantis and TubenetTM, where the roof and air dome are identical to that used in Atlantis.
The difference between Atlantis and Nautilus is that with Nautilus, the floating pen remains at the surface while the net structure itself is lowered. Nautilus is largely based on well-known equipment for fish farming and is thus somewhat easier to operate.
By operating at depth, it is possible to optimise the conditions for the fish and avoid, for example, lice or other impacts on the surface. The solutions are cost-effective. With our experts and modelling tools, we can help you find out which sites are suitable for deep farming.
We have developed four main versions of Nautilus, which are adapted to the specific sites. The optimal solution is influenced by both the specific site and the farmer's individual preferences. Typical factors that determine the choice of design include depth, currents, desired volume, and existing infrastructure.
Technical solution
The buoyant pen lies on the surface and the net with net roofs and air dome is lowered to less than 20 meters
Nets with net roofs and air dome hangs from ropes or straps under the buoyant pen
The buoyant pen is without styrofoam, with associated bottom ring
Standard frame mooring
Prepared for installation of sludge collection
The fish get access to air and feed through the air dome that stands in the middle of the net roof
Ordinary frame mooring
Certified according to NS 9415:21
Important functions
Raising and lowering the net:
The net hangs in straps under the buoyancy pen.
