High-strength nylon netting for aquaculture and fishing applications requiring superior elasticity and knot strength.
Aquaculture is one of the fastest-growing food production sectors in the world — and it depends on netting and rope systems that perform reliably in harsh marine environments, often for years without replacement.
WireCo, through Euronete and Lankhorst, supplies cage netting, pen mooring ropes, and service lines designed specifically for fish farming operations. Our products address the critical challenges of biofouling, predator damage, and extreme weather while meeting the fish welfare standards that modern aquaculture demands.
From fjord-based salmon farming to exposed offshore installations, WireCo's aquaculture range is engineered for the specific conditions and regulatory requirements of each region.
The problems WireCo products are engineered to solve.
Marine growth on cage netting restricts water flow, reduces oxygen levels, and increases structural loads. Anti-fouling treatments and resistant materials are essential.
Offshore fish farms face extreme wave and current forces that stress cage structures and netting beyond normal service conditions.
Seal, bird, and shark predation causes stock losses and net damage. High-strength predator nets must resist animal attacks while maintaining water flow.
Environmental regulations require specific mesh configurations and containment standards to prevent fish escape and minimize seabed impact.
Euronete's knotless netting for aquaculture uses materials and surface treatments that reduce biofouling adhesion, extending the interval between net cleaning cycles. Smoother surfaces also improve water flow through the pen and reduce the risk of fish abrasion injuries.
Our aquaculture netting includes high-strength, predator-resistant configurations that withstand seal and shark attacks. Combined with proper tensioning and Lankhorst LankoForce mooring ropes that maintain pen geometry in strong currents, these systems protect fish stock and reduce escape incidents.
Lankhorst LankoMoor mooring ropes are designed for the dynamic loads of exposed aquaculture sites — absorbing wave and current energy while maintaining pen position and structural integrity. Our ropes are used in some of the most demanding aquaculture environments in Norway, Scotland, and Chile.
