Characteristics of the KikkoNet

• Long life (4-5 times more than traditional material). NS 9415
• Reduced biofouling
• No need to remove cage from water for a long time
• Low maintenance cost
• Less flexible than other material, hence less stress and more
• xigenation for the fish
• Resistant to virtually any predator

6

• Hard, smooth and tough surface that resists marine fouling thanks to the monofilament
• Frequency of cleaning cycles greately reduced
• Optimized water flow allows for maximum oxygen supply to fish

Biofouling and KikkoNet

The KikkoNet is easily cleaned, inspected and maintained while in the water (no anti-fouling used).
