Major investment aids development of new fish farm cage
One of the new tools will be used in the manufacture of brackets for an alternative version of the Triton cage using 400mm diameter polyethylene (PE) flotation pipes instead of the traditional 450mm size. The other tooling will aid in the fabrication and installation of safety decking on these cages. The extra large three-ring Triton 450 cage has already proved extremely successful for the offshore farming of tuna and salmon. The new Triton 400 version has been developed to provide an alternative specification that can be used in either three or two ring formats. Stephen Divers, Fusion Marine managing director, said: “We have made this significant investment so as to provide fish farmers with a range of options and specifications for the successful Triton cage.”
