Yuang Hsian Metal Industrial Corp. (YHM)’s AB-65 Hybrid Copper Alloy Aquaculture Net Is Environmental-Friendly, Durable, And Anti-biofouling

The so-called “aquaculture net” refers to a method by using a fixed purse seiner in a specific range of seawater to raise many aquatic animals. This method has some advantages, such as not occupying land and water resources and having high productivity per water unit.

Do you still consider that the tasty cobia served on the table relies entirely on fishing boats? Aquaculture net can also deliver saltwater fishes with stable quality and quantity. The so-called “aquaculture net” refers to a method by using a fixed purse seiner in a specific range of seawater to raise many aquatic animals. This method has some advantages, such as not occupying land and water resources and having high productivity per water unit. In addition to coastal fishing fishes, aquaculture net can provide the same quality fish as nature-raised ones, then becomes an alternative origin of aquatic products. The most important facility of aquaculture net is purse seiner, but it is easy to be damaged by the ocean flotsam or coastal soil erosion. Also, since the purse seiner would be placed under seawater for a long time, biofouling is a common problem, causing poor water exchange and leading to eutrophication and disease outbreaks.

YHM provides metal purse seiner to solve any aquaculture net's problems. YHM was established in 1979. The main products are copper alloy wires, including brass, phosphor bronze, silicon, nickel, silver, and EDM. In recent years, YHM integrated the copper alloy manufacturing technology to produce a whole new material aquaculture net, making an exceptional achievement in aquaculture.

 

YHM’s AB-65 hybrid copper alloy aquaculture net has better malleability and resilience, which will increase the effective volume of the net and reduce its damage rate. It can also reduce the frequency of washing and changing the net, thereby reducing the cultured fish mortality caused by net washing and changing. Furthermore, the copper alloy aquaculture net will emit low-dose copper ions, reducing biofouling, parasite infection rate and fish disease outbreaks. Also, low-dose copper ions can promote biological immunity and regeneration, making cultured fishes healthier and the ecology of aquaculture areas richer. Lastly, since the copper alloy aquaculture net is 100% recyclable, it achieves the goal of environmental friendliness and sustainable fishery.

As a result, the shift of land-based aquaculture to offshore cage net farming, creating "ocean ranching," has become a trend. This allows for the consumption of saltwater fish without the need for ocean fishing, while land can be repurposed for other uses. It saves freshwater resources, reduces carbon footprints and damage caused by disasters, and promotes a friendly farming environment that minimizes the impact of aquaculture on the environment, ultimately achieving sustainable operation.

Traditional agricultural machinery, mostly powered by diesel, is one of the primary sources of carbon emissions in agriculture. To respond to the call for net-zero emissions, countries are encouraging farmers to use electric agricultural machinery that reduces carbon emissions. Electric agricultural machinery also offers advantages such as low noise, low vibration, low waste heat, and easy startup. If they can be charged with renewable energy sources like solar power or wind power, it further enhances energy savings and carbon reduction efforts.

Animals raised without antibiotics rely on alternative health supplements like herbal medicines, probiotics, enzymes, or plant-based additives for robust health. This approach promotes a healthy digestive system, resulting in fewer cases of diarrhea, reduced fecal and urine odor, and less environmental pollution. By avoiding antibiotic use, the development of antimicrobial resistance in microorganisms is prevented, preserving the effectiveness of antibiotics. It also ensures food safety by eliminating the risk of drug residues.

Raising healthy animals for delicious meals is a challenging task that requires careful attention. In traditional animal farming, it becomes necessary to supplement animal feed with nutrients to bolster their immune systems, minimize the risk of illnesses and mortality, and enhance productivity and growth rates. This, in turn, increases overall production efficiency. In the event of animals falling ill, timely administration of medication can aid in their recovery. Alternatively, the utilization of natural herbal remedies can eliminate the residues associated with conventional chemical drugs, thereby safeguarding human food safety.
