SUBflex Ltd. will be exhibiting its Single Point Moored Submersible Net Cage Systems for offshore mariculture at WFE.
Advantages of the systems:
• SPM (Single Point Mooring): Allowing circular movement around a single mooring unit, the system can rotate up to 360 degrees according to the changing currents
• Environmentally friendly: The SPM design allows for the dispersing of fish faeces and unconsumed feed in a large area of over 1,000m diameter, thus considerably minimising the impact on the sea bed and natural marine habitat
• There when needed: The SUBflex system holds the capability to operate submerged for long periods and to be maintained underwater for as long as required by the sea conditions or biological requirements, such as high summer SSTs
• SUBflex delivers oxygen to the fish: The SPM proprietary design allows the fish to access different volumes of water around its single mooring, thus exposing them to constant oxygenated waters supplied by continuous currents
• Modular, SUBmersible and FLEXible: SUBflex' Submersible Systems are modular and flexible, the only technology which enables changes in system's design, volume and capacity without having to change its foundations.
Current pending SUBflex projects (at different stages of development) include: pilot system for salmon in Australia; commercial system for seriola in Mexico; and negotiations of systems for salmon in Chile, Malta, Portugal and more.
