1500 cleaner fish caught. In one drag.

​Recatching wrasse in pens can be a challenging operation. And it is stressful for the fish.

Lumpfish are fond of the SeaNest hides, and they seek to return to it when they are not hunting lice. This makes it easy to catch the wrasse while it rests on the SeaNest unit.

"We're talking 1000 to 1500 cleaner fish, caught in one drag.

And if you put out several systems in the pens you
need to fish out, this gives an even greater saving
in time - as it obviously increases the likelihood of
catching even more at the same time,"


Morten ​Ohren, department manager at AquaGen.

The recapture unit is easily attached (and removed) from the std. SeaNest hide

​The specially made recapture net is ready at the bottom of the hide - and is pulled up within seconds. The fish are then caught, and can easily be transported onwards. The SeaNest  Recapture System comes as a separate unit that attaches to the standard SeaNest.
​
And it can be used again and again. Year after year.
