ASAKUA
FISH CAGE — NS 9415 COMPLIANT DESIGN

Fish Cage Systems

Floating polyethylene fish cages for open-ocean and inland water projects. 12 m to 60 m diameter range, 2 or 3 main pipe configuration — sized to site data. THOR injection brackets, NS 9415 compliant design. Over 1,000 cages deployed to date.

SYSTEM CORE

Floating fish cages built from high-density polyethylene with 2 or 3 main pipe configurations. Engineered to respond elastically to current, wave and wind loads — site-specific engineering for the dynamic conditions of the open ocean. We manufacture THOR injection brackets at our İzmir facility and size each cage to species, site data and target production capacity. Engineering, transport and on-site commissioning are delivered turnkey by the ASAKUA team.

APPLICATION SCENARIOS

Designed for these scenarios.

SCENARIO 01

Open-ocean fish farm

30 m to 60 m diameter range, 2 or 3 main pipe configuration. For sea bream, sea bass, trout and salmon farming in high wave and current exposure sites. Active installations across Mediterranean, Black Sea and Atlantic waters.

SCENARIO 02

Lake and reservoir farm

12 m to 30 m diameter range, typically 2 main pipe configuration. The standard choice for trout, sturgeon, carp and tilapia in inland water projects. Delivered to reservoirs in the Caucasus, Central Asia and East Africa.

SCENARIO 03

Sheltered bay and coastal cages

12 m to 30 m diameter range, 2 or 3 main pipes. For sea bream, sea bass and barramundi farming in semi-exposed waters with moderate wave loads. We operate systems along Red Sea and Indian Ocean coastlines.

TECHNICAL

Optimized structural behavior.

Built from UV-stabilised polyethylene PE100 pipes — 250 mm, 315 mm, 400 mm, 450 mm and 500 mm diameter options selected to site conditions. The 2 main pipe configuration covers most standard projects with balanced floor area and design loads; the 3 main pipe configuration is preferred where wave exposure is high or cage diameter exceeds 40 m.

All main pipe and handrail joints use ASAKUA THOR injection-moulded brackets — five variants from 250 mm to 500 mm, weld-free assembly and consistent polyethylene-to-polyethylene material continuity. Our İzmir injection line moulds parts up to 92 kg; we have delivered over 100,000 THOR brackets to the field to date.

Cage design is delivered NS 9415 compliant (Norwegian standard for marine fish farms); mooring is engineered with DNV-OS-E403 as reference. Raw material EN 12201 certified PE100. Engineering, manufacturing, packing, transport and on-site installation — turnkey from a single supplier. ASAKUA has completed over 50 fish farm projects to date.
