Description / Abstract:
The standard presents a general method to be followed for the
systematic analysis, design and evaluation of net cage marine
finfish farms. One common style of an open net cage finfish farm is
shown in Figure 1. A mooring system holds together a series of net
cages which contain finfish. Water from the outside environment
freely passes through the nets, providing the necessary environment
for farming finfish. The methodology presented in this standard
allows for determination of the adequacy of a given finfish farm's
floating structure, nets and mooring equipment for a given
environment. The standard addresses specification of a design basis
through evaluation of environmental conditions and acceptable risk,
and specifies acceptable techniques for the design and analysis of
finfish farms. The standard also provides guidelines for
development of a handbook which documents procedures for correct
maintenance and operation of the finfish farm.
The application of the standard is intended to reduce the risk
of escape from marine finfish farms. The standard is designed to be
used by the operator of an open net cage marine finfish farm. It is
intended that through application of this standard that increased
human safety and system integrity levels may be achieved.
