The procedure of designing, manufacturing of new type net cage and the new development of set net with additional bottom

1. Investigation: thorough investigation on the fishing ground

We have a long-term cooperation with the Research and Development Center for Set Net Fishery Technology of National Kaohsiung Marine University. Through the application of precision instruments, we carry out investigations on the topography of sea bottom, tides, water depth, water quality and bottom materials of the proposed installation site of set net. We also collect and analyze climatic data, wind and wave data, etc and explore the species and quantities of migratory fishes.

2. Diagnosis: scientific diagnosis based on the collected data

Through the analysis of climatic data, wind and wave data, topography of sea bottom, currents, water depth, water quality and bottom materials collected during the investigation, we can explore the appropriate sites for a fishing ground and their ranges, shapes and depths. We can also tell what problems that the fishing ground might run into and their improvement methods, etc based on our experiences. Furthermore, we provide consultation and assistance to the application of relevant licenses; we also provide feasibility advice on the installation of bottom set net.

3. Design: rich experiences in designing

Based on the results of scientific diagnosis, we can design the appropriate size, shape and strength of the set net; we also provide suggestions on operation and assessments on facilities renovation.

4. Manufacturing: professional manufacturing and quality assurance

We have experience in the designing of net cage and installation of handmade net for more than a decade; we also have the professional manufacturing technology of ropes. Experienced design never just remains on paper; instead, it will become tangible when it is turned into a piece of perfect net or production facility.

5. Installation: correct installation guidance

Nets that have been professionally made still need professional installation guidance. Without correct installation of nets, you are bound to run into difficulties in operation later which might increase the working time and number of operators needed.

6. Management: guidance in the management of fishing ground

Over a wide range of relevant knowledge issues including aquaculture record, feed formulation, harvest record, training and consultation for operation personnel, fishing ground management, maintenance of nets, etc., we have sufficient experience and professional personnel to provide suggestions and make perfect plans for you, so that the set net can yield more economic profits.

7. Renovation: facilities renovation to generate profits

Consists of two parts, i.e. the utilization of bottom set net and the establishment of sightseeing marine ranch. The bottom set net will be the best countermeasure for you to reduce the escaping of fishes from the net cage. Furthermore, the bottom set net can serve as a damping net, which prevents the net cage from becoming easily deformed by the currents. Besides, fish feed scattered out of the net cage can attract some fishes nearby into the net. All these measures can be carried out with the existing manpower, no additional hands are needed. So the establishment of bottom set net can not only reduce the losses of fishes, but can also enhance the income from fishes. Moreover, the establishment of sightseeing marine ranch can not only utilize the existing fishing ground and other sightseeing resources to endow the fishing ground with a new life, but can also earn additional non-operating income and provide all proprietors of marine net cage with brand-new modes of thinking and modes of operation that are worth consideration.
