Yuang Hsian Metal Industrial Corp. (YHM)’s AB-65 Hybrid Copper Alloy Aquaculture Net Is Environmental-Friendly, Durable, And Anti-biofouling
Do you still consider that the tasty cobia served on the table relies entirely on fishing boats? Aquaculture net can also deliver saltwater fishes with stable quality and quantity. The so-called “aquaculture net” refers to a method by using a fixed purse seiner in a specific range of seawater to raise many aquatic animals. This method has some advantages, such as not occupying land and water resources and having high productivity per water unit. In addition to coastal fishing fishes, aquaculture net can provide the same quality fish as nature-raised ones, then becomes an alternative origin of aquatic products. The most important facility of aquaculture net is purse seiner, but it is easy to be damaged by the ocean flotsam or coastal soil erosion. Also, since the purse seiner would be placed under seawater for a long time, biofouling is a common problem, causing poor water exchange and leading to eutrophication and disease outbreaks.
YHM provides metal purse seiner to solve any aquaculture net's problems. YHM was established in 1979. The main products are copper alloy wires, including brass, phosphor bronze, silicon, nickel, silver, and EDM. In recent years, YHM integrated the copper alloy manufacturing technology to produce a whole new material aquaculture net, making an exceptional achievement in aquaculture.
YHM’s AB-65 hybrid copper alloy aquaculture net has better malleability and resilience, which will increase the effective volume of the net and reduce its damage rate. It can also reduce the frequency of washing and changing the net, thereby reducing the cultured fish mortality caused by net washing and changing. Furthermore, the copper alloy aquaculture net will emit low-dose copper ions, reducing biofouling, parasite infection rate and fish disease outbreaks. Also, low-dose copper ions can promote biological immunity and regeneration, making cultured fishes healthier and the ecology of aquaculture areas richer. Lastly, since the copper alloy aquaculture net is 100% recyclable, it achieves the goal of environmental friendliness and sustainable fishery.
