A new and simplified fish enclosure for fish farming that can be very large, due to: (a) being made of mesh netting held in tension by moorings and/or air or water pressure; (b) being located in the open sea, in relatively deep waters, and operated from an Offshore Platform; and (c) being able to submerge adequately to avoid being damaged in the worst of storms. An Offshore Platform with a number of such enclosures would constitute a Platform Fish Ranch and a few of these could significantly, swiftly and most economically re-stock the NWECC (North West European Continental Shelf) with juvenile fish and thereby safeguard endangered species, the future supply of food fish and the future of the European fishing industry. The initial application being cod, haddock and halibut reared using available North Sea Offshore Platforms, but applicable to most fish and most continental shelves of the world on which stand or are moored some 6,000 platforms. |
