IKNAS Heavy-Duty Lantern Nets for Shellfish Farming
IKNAS provides professional-grade Huaxing Lantern Nets manufactured from high-density polyethylene (PE) and heavy-duty plastic-coated steel.
Engineered specifically for aquaculture, these sturdy, round-tiered lantern nets are built with solid steel rings and cross-bars coated in anti-corrosive plastic. This specialized design prevents rust without the need for chemical treatments like galvanization (which can release zinc that is harmful if absorbed by the shellfish), ensuring a very long duration even against constant marine fouling.

Seed Containment: Ultra-fine mesh sizes down to 2mm actively prevent tiny bivalve seeds from slipping out of the netting during the early growth stages.
-
Slashed Labor Time: Opting for the practical Velcro opening closure system offers a massive gain of time during harvesting and sorting compared to traditional tie-downs.

Bivalve Farming: Specifically optimized for heavy commercial farming of oysters, clams, and scallops.
