Harvesting net

A fishing net for aquaculture is a specialized piece of equipment used to capture, sort, and harvest fish in aquaculture ponds. Designed to meet the needs of aquaculture partners, this type of net is essential for ensuring an efficient harvest while preserving the health and well-being of the fish.

• Material: Aquaculture nets are made from water-resistant and durable materials such as nylon, polyester, or PE (polyethylene). These materials are chosen for their strength and longevity to withstand harsh and prolonged working conditions in the water.

• Mesh size: The mesh size is adapted to the size of the fish being captured. The mesh is typically designed to allow selective capture of fish, while permitting the passage of smaller species or juvenile fish that are not desired.

• Shape and design: Fishing nets can be circular, rectangular, with or without pockets, or cone-shaped, depending on the fishing methods used. They are often equipped with long, reinforced handles and sometimes with pulley or winch systems to facilitate handling.

• Usage: These nets are used for harvesting fish at the end of a production cycle or for capturing fish intended for sale. They can also be used for sorting fish by size, moving them from one pond to another, or taking samples for health inspections.

• Benefits: A fishing net helps efficiently capture fish while reducing the risk of injury or stress. The soft materials and appropriate design help maintain the health of the fish during handling.

• Durability: These nets are designed to withstand intensive use, including exposure to weather, debris, and water salinity. Their longevity ensures optimal harvests for several years.

Fishing nets are essential tools for aquaculturists, enabling them to manage harvests efficiently while preserving the quality of the fish and the integrity of the aquatic ecosystem.
