Norwegian SalMar subsidiary Ocean Farming has been busy fleshing out this concept for an offshore fish farming facility, which features nets that adjust to the motion of the waves and currents, preventing rips and escapes. The farm is a circular steel structure measuring out to 110 meters, with an operating draft of 42 meters and a total height of 67 meters. Marintek has performed model tests of the farm, which houses a production volume eight times that of the standard fish farming operation, in the Ocean Basin at Tyholt, Trondheim.
