Dead fish handling
Collect fish and inspect the net at the same time
Disease outbreaks and unexplainable deaths may sometimes occur in aquaculture facilities. Anu eventual dead fish should be removed quickly as their body will soon begin decomposing, especially in warm water. A body may contaminate the water and risk the health of other fish in the merd. If it has died of disease, the last thing you want is that other fishes start eating its body parts, so it should be removed immediately.
Removing dead fish is not only a precaution against the spread of disease. Another reason is that dead fish can attract unwanted animals to the vicinity of the fish farm. Seals, sticklebacks and other animals may attack and try to eat dead fish which can result in a hole in the net.
Using a MEOX fish collector you can drive around the bottom and suck up dead fish, and perform a net inspection at the same time. This is a very fast, efficient and easy way to collect dead fish while keeping the net clean.
