FISH PENS
FISH PENS
Due to the unique nature of the Aquaculture industry, most farms have specific needs which call for custom solutions. Most of our work is custom made to suit individual farmers needs. Our staff are experienced in the design, manufacture and use of many different aquaculture systems. We are happy to work with you to develop systems which fulfil your needs. We are committed to the success of Aquaculture and seek long term relationships with our customers. We have some products certified to the Norwegian Standard (NS9415) and are able to certify more as required.
Circular Fish Pens
PFG specialises in circular poly fish pens, ranging from 30 metre circumference with 220 metre circumference being the largest to date. Our pens have been exported to countries around the world.
Their durable polyethylene construction is designed to flex with the forces of the sea, providing a robust platform with easy access but with increased strength to withstand the rigours of high-energy sites.
Flotation Collars
Flotation collars ranging from 250mm to 500mm diameter are made from virgin HDPE pipe. Our unique HDPE stanchions have no continuous seams or joints and are designed and rotomolded in our factories. A number of different styles of stanchions are available to suit individual sites, species and operational requirements.
These unique stanchions mean we can personalise pen design to include equal or differential flotation, net hooks, bird pole brackets, walkways and other extras to suit our customer’s needs. We can also supply steel stanchions, bird pole supports and mooring points as required.

Net Weights and Net Weight Hooks
Net Weights
We produce a HDPE rotationally moulded shell, which can be filled with either concrete or a combination of concrete and steel shot. Currently manufactured in a variety of sizes from 50kg to 250kg but able to be customised to individual requirements. Net weights can be provided with associated hardware and ropes for ease of installation.
Net Weight Hooks
Net Weight Hooks are an innovative system for attaching individual net weights to nets from the sea surface without the use of divers. The advantage with net weight hooks is the full weight is applied directly to the net and is secured close to the baseline of the net. This means that smaller weights can be used and that the system is effective in shallow sites.
The standard weight is approximately 100kg, but trials have been carried out successfully with 3.5 tonne weights attached to the base of cone nets. Over 5,000 Net Weight Hooks have been supplied globally.
NETS, NET WEIGHTS AND HOOKS
We provide a wide range of nets in polyester, nylon, brass and composite, sourced from various manufacturers around the world to suit your specific needs. These include smolt, grow out, predator and bird nets.
We can supply nets to your specifications or assist design your nets. We have access to nets made of conventional materials such as nylon and polyester in a variety of mesh and ply sizes.
