Tubenet A patented concept which has the potential to reduce the lice presence to almost 0. Principal advantages ■ Proven to reduce lice infestation with 80%, with the potential to reduce the lice precence to almost 0 if the tube is deep enough ■ Reduced risk of escape: damages to the upper part of the net will not be a concern, as the fish is enclosed at the deeper part of the pen ■ Suitable for AGD treatment ■ Reduced need for net cleaning Tubenet is a safe and functional, technical, solution, reducing attachement of sea Lice and preventing escape. The solution is invented and patented by Egersund Net and has since been thoroughly tested by multiple parties, including The Institute of Marine Research in Norway. A smaller buoyant pen is installed and moored inside the main pen. Attached to the inner pen, a tube made of tarpaulin is extended down to a specified depth. A roof of netting is extracted from the baseline of the tube horizontally to the wall of the outer net. The Tubenet concept may be integrated in new as well as existing installations.

Inner pen: 60-90 meter circumference Tube made out of tarpaulin at specified length. Tests have proved that the effect will increase with the lenght of the tube: A 10m tube will reduce lice infestations with 76-80% With a 16m tube, the lice precence will be close to 0 Netting roof A vital part of our lice-prevention approach The netting roof will ensure the fish stays at the desired depths with minimal lice pressure. When turning to the surface to fill its swim bladder, it will be protected by the tarpauline tube, which creates a lice-free corridor to the surface. Used properly, the Tubenet...
