This web site provides public information about the ClosedFishCage project. The project was initiated by the coordinator, Plast-sveis AS, and funded by EU’s FP7 – Research for SMEs.
Official start date of the project was on September 1st, 2009. The duration of the project is 24 months.
Project Description
ClosedFishCage will focus on the development of a closed, escape proof, constant volume, sea-based cage for fish farming. Among the project’s innovative elements are a very durable and flexible polymer plastic net pen, a predator guard, a control system, easy set-up and replacement of damaged cage parts. The technological solutions involved in the sea-based cage will preserve advantages of land-based fish farming while at the same time taking advantage of the cost efficiency of seabased fish farming.
