The project aimed to address the issue of net damage and stock loss caused by predators (sharks and seals) in Tassal's Atlantic Salmon farms. The current single-layer polymeric netting used by Tassal has a limited lifespan and can be damaged by predators attempting to access the salmon. Tassal had previously tried various netting systems without success. One potential solution being investigated was the use of a stiffened polymer fiber netting material from a Japanese company, which showed promise but had limited availability. The project had two objectives: to demonstrate the feasibility of three alternative options for a seal-proof net structure and to recommend a structure for scale-up and commercial trials. By finding a more durable and predator-resistant netting solution, Tassal aimed to reduce net damage and stock loss, improving the overall efficiency and productivity of their Atlantic Salmon farming operations. Successful implementation of the recommended net structure would provide long-term benefits by minimizing predator intrusion and protecting the fish stock.
