Advance Africa Project

Copper alloy cages for marine fish cage culture.

(Use of copper alloy mesh prevents biofouling of the nets in which fish are reared in cages. This allows for improved water flow through the cages, which improves dissolved oxygen levels, improved fish health and growth and reduces mortalities)
