A sweep net is special equipment used to remove fish from the net. It can be manufactured in different sizes and using different types of materials, based on the purpose for which it is intended. Sweep nets are used, for example, for collecting fish for harvest, sampling when counting lice, and for different types of treatments.
A dead fish collector is a tool for collecting and removal of dead fish from nets. Egersund Net has a solid experience with the production of dead fish collectors. The collectors are manufactured with different sizes and materials, and can be delivered with single or double steel ring.
A protective cover is equipment that is used when a top net is being fitted to or removed from a floating collar. It is fitted as a cover on the water’s surface within the floating collar. Protective covers can be manufactured in various sizes to suit different sizes of floating collar. The purpose of the protective cover is to ensure that no fish become caught in the top net.
A safety net is a piece of netting placed between floating collar and boat, and is used when fish is removed from a floating collar. The net is used to prevent fish from falling into the sea, and will prevent fish from escaping. Safety nets are manufactured with netting, and normally a rope is fitted around the edge. Safety nets can be manufactured in different sizes, based on the purpose for which it is intended.

AKVA group invests major resources in product development and testing of models in cooperation with our customers.
A test tank belonging to SINTEF Fisheries and Aquaculture is often used in order to improve our knowledge about various designs. The test tank allows simulation of various currents and wave conditions.
Net in 0.5 knot current.
Net in 1.0 knot current.
Net in 1.5 knot current.
Testing of materials
Our laboratory is equipped with advanced technological equipment for verifying the characteristics of ropes and other materials. All components are carefully tested and documented before being implemented in any of our products.
New models are carefully documented under various conditions in a flume tank by SINTEF in Denmark.
Detailed small-scale models of net designs are used for testing.
The test tank is also used in cooperation with customers in order to solve challenges related to local operation and the preparation of new working procedures.
