ILLUMINATED NETCAGES for the fingerling production with natural zooplankton

20 years' experience in the field of global plankton research and fingerling production with natural plankton and years of tests under different environmental conditions in marine and fresh water, are the basis of the new "UWG- Solar cage system". The production method is based on plankton feeding in the natural environment like: lagoons, bays, fjords, lakes and large ponds, by means of attracting the organisms using a lamp located in the center of fine meshed submerged nets. Mainly Copepods and Cladoceres - but also a variety of other zooplankton organisms are photo sensitive and steadily swarm into the cages towards the light source.
The 2x2x2 m net cages (8 m3) are manufactured from highly resistant mono-filament polyester fabric (with mesh sizes 0,3 to 2,0 mm), is fitted with a zipper for easy access and a conduit for the electric cable. The net cage is stretched onto a strong stainless steel or aluminum frame. An efficient Solar-Generator is supplied for remote site operation. An electrical transformer can be supplied in order to reduce voltage to safer levels for use with water. Depending on the zooplankton populations, the fish-stocking density (from the fry stage to fingerling size of 5 cm length) can come to 5.000 Ind./m3 and survival rates of more than 90 % have been achieved with various marine and freshwater fish species.
The operation and maintenance is limited to the functional control of the system, a periodic cleaning with a portable high pressure cleaner, in order to prevent clogging effects, caused by detritus, algae and faces, and the observations of the plankton development in the location.  The system is environmentally safe since no feeds or fertilizer are applied, the construction materials are inert, and the plankton consumption is minimal and does not affect the natural stocks.

NET CLEANING SYSTEM with high pressure

This netcleaners maintain a flow of oxygenated water through the nets, that keeps them clean with minimal disturbance and no need to remove the fish from the pens. It's construction and design make the washers head working toward the net against its own high pressure water stream and can be used on all types of nets and cages. The netwasher loosen and pulverize, with its high pressure water stream, algae growth, food remains and other fouling, which in turn will drift away by the current. The single head disk is easily used, the dual head disk is for faster cleaning. The fuel driven pressure pump with high output drives the head of the net-washer disk or can be used for pressure washing. It can be operated by one man from the boat or walkway/collar or underwater by a diver. Alternatively a hydraulic power pack for workboats is available, which is permanently installed with all the advantages of hydraulic drive, useful for pressure washing on boat and cages.

POLYMER COATED POLYESTER NETS for cages

This special polymer (PVC) coated polyester (PET) net is very strong and stable, but also flexible. The nets are 100 % stronger than conventional nylon nets, are highly UV-resistant, suitable for seawater and need no antifouling. They need about 90 % less maintenance and have fewer escapes than nylon nets. The live-time of this nets with continuous use in fresh water is up to 30 years. The material is available on coils with a width of 3,6 m with a mesh size of 5 mm, and 5,0 m wide with a mesh size of 20 and 40 mm. With a weight of 450-790 g/m2 the cages need no lead sinkers. We deliver finished cages or also the material on coils.

PRECISION CLOTHS for aquaculture and hydrobiology

Precision woven screening fabric is a highly specialized monofilament fabric, characterized by precisely defined and controlled, consistent and repeatable material properties s.a.: mesh size, thickness, tensile strength, dimensional stability, cleanliness etc.). This fabric program includes precision sieves of different material strengths and offers a narrow mesh grading between 20-2000 micrometer and therefore fulfills all requirements of today's aquaculture and hydrological needs. Appropriate sieve fabrics are offered per running meter and as standard or customized products, such as filter-, dip-, hatching-, cage- and plankton-nets.
In Austria a catch of zooplankton for the production of fry and fingerlings is commonly practiced since more than 50 years. During the last years several important optimizations are archived allowing a better net construction and easy catching. With appropriate designed plankton nets, harvests of several tons per day can be achieved. Thanks' to this Austrian development of special sieve-net-systems, it is possible to grad the plankton in 3 different size classes during the catch. The result is the correct plankton size for all development stages from fish larvae to fry and fingerling. An expensive and complicated indoor-production of prey organisms (such as: Algae, Rotatoria, Artemia, Daphnia etc.) can be replaced.

SHADING SHEETS AND PROTECTION NETS made of polyethylene

Shades and nets are made from UV-stable polyethylene material with a shading density of 50-85 % to protect fish and ponds from light and birds. The sheets which let water (from rain) to drain off, are available on coils from 1,5 and 3,0 m width and can be manufactured wider with extra strong hem and eyes. For pricing always the width of the coil is calculated.

We also deliver bird protection nets with a mesh size of 15 - 150 mm.

ELECTRO MOTORS for boats and pontoons

For boats, an electro motor is practicable for up to 9 m total hull lengths. Electric motors have, compared with petrol motors, different turning moments, which allow to use electric motors with relative low powers. Longtime experiments have proven, that the required power relation (electro to petrol motor) can be 1:2.0 to 2.5, if the petrol motor was not over motorized for the boat and the use. All models have a compensated row motor, which coiling compensation optimizes the energy usage and increase the output of the motor, specially at higher turns. The casings as well as all supports are made from marine aluminum (GalSi5Mg to DIN 1725, pp. 2), which is corrosions and seawater proof. All other materials incl. all screws are made from stainless steel. The ball bearings are made for long operation and live and the seals of the bearing are made form seal rings. All parts are covered by plastic or special paintings for additional protection. Motor and motor casings are also painted with antifouling. All parts are built with high precision and each motor will be tested to electric performance.
