Cage Nets are an important part of the whole solution
If the net rips, the fish escape. It's as simple as that. To minimise the chance of that happening, nets have to be perfectly dimensioned to fit the other components. Optimal clearance; no abrasion. No unnecessary splices, knots or joins. Minimum shrinkage. Strong framing ropes. Correct and eco-friendly impregnation. Easy cleaning.
The practice of supplying over-dimensioned nets has long been standard procedure in Norway, to ensure that they still fit after several rounds of washing and cleaning. The result is nets that are too large for almost their entire working life. Over-dimensioning leads to problems such as abrasion against sinker ring supporting systems and floating collars, increasing the risk of escapes. What's more, there will be problems when underwater high-pressure washing large nets.
