Biofouling in marine aquaculture is a specific problem where both the target culture species
and/or infrastructure are exposed to a diverse array of fouling organisms, with significant …

As marine aquaculture expands around the world, there is increased concern for impacts to
protected species. Documented cases of marine mammal, sea turtle, seabird, and shark …

Aquaculture is expanding all over the world. The limitations are mainly related to location,
water flow, escapees and fish health. The present status of flow hydrodynamics within and …

Application of copper alloy netting in marine aquaculture has potential benefits associated
with reduced biofouling, improved cage volume stability, structural strength and protection …

Intensifying and expanding sustainable aquaculture is essential for achieving the United
Nations' global goal of the Decade of Action. Cage culture is a typical aquaculture method in …

Hydrodynamic loads acting on a fish farm may be affected by the growth of different
biofouling organisms, mainly due to increased solidity of the nets. In this paper, the …

Biofouling is an inevitable problem in marine aquaculture and it is prone to cause many
negative effects on the hydrodynamic behavior of the aquaculture facility. In this study, the …

Net deformations of sea-cages in two full-scale commercial Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)
farms (Varaldsøy, Norway, Hestur, Faroe Islands) were determined in relation to incoming …

Growth of fouling organisms on suspended fish cages is an impediment to aquaculture
projects in coastal waters around the world. The present study characterized ecological …

In this study, we investigated the hydrodynamic characteristics of marine aquaculture net
cages used for farming silver salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch). Two sets of experiments were …
