Copper Alloy Fish Cages – A Step Towards Sustainable Aquaculture

Hebei Qijie Wire Mesh MFG Co., Ltd. is at the forefront of aquaculture innovation with our advanced copper alloy fish cages. Designed to address the pressing challenges of modern fish farming, such as corrosion, reduced oxygen levels, and fish diseases, these cages represent a significant leap forward in sustainable aquaculture practices.

Material Excellence:

Primary Material: Copper
Additional Metals: Zinc, aluminum, and nickel
Alloy Variants: Examples include LC6911, LC6912, LC6909, each with distinct properties and applications.
Our cages are constructed from a premium blend of metals, including copper, zinc, aluminum, and nickel. Copper, being the primary component, imparts extraordinary strength, durability, and resistance to corrosion. This unique alloy composition is especially beneficial in saltwater environments, making these cages ideal for open ocean aquaculture where they are exposed to harsh weather and strong currents.

Design and Structure:

• Mesh Design: The cages feature large mesh holes, expertly designed to balance water and oxygen exchange with security against fish escape and predator intrusion. The mesh is typically square or diamond-shaped, optimized for strength and durability.
• Cage Dimensions: Available in various sizes, our cages can be tailored to suit different aquaculture needs, from small-scale to large industrial operations. They are customizable to meet the specific requirements of each fish farm.
• Structural Features: The cages are supported by robust frames, buoyancy elements to maintain optimal depth, and secure access points for feeding and maintenance.

Performance and Sustainability

• Antimicrobial Properties: Copper’s natural ability to destroy harmful microorganisms like viruses, bacteria, fungi, and algae promotes a healthier environment for aquatic life. This antimicrobial property is crucial for maintaining high standards of fish health and welfare.
• Biofouling Resistance: Our cages significantly reduce biofouling, minimizing the need for antifouling treatments and thereby reducing environmental impact.
• Environmental Considerations: We ensure minimal environmental impact through managed copper leaching, aligning with our commitment to sustainability.

Economic and Operational Advantages

• Durability and Maintenance: Thanks to their resistance to biofouling and corrosion, these cages offer an extended service life with lower maintenance requirements, making them a cost-effective solution over time.
• Versatility: Suitable for both near-shore and offshore environments, these cages are resilient in various weather conditions and water currents.
• Initial Investment and Long-Term Savings: While the initial cost is higher than traditional materials, the long-term savings in maintenance and replacement costs justify the investment.

Safety and Welfare

Our cages are designed with the safety of the fish in mind, avoiding sharp edges or harmful materials. They also enhance water quality and oxygen levels, crucial for the health and growth of the fish.
