Flume tank in Hirtshals

The core products in our flume tank are research projects and commercial testing of trawls and trawl doors, as well as marine aquaculture facilities. Numerous trawls and fish cages have over the years been tested here, and fishermen and net manufacturers have learned to optimize the use of their gear. Also most new developments and selectivity devices have had a round in the flume tank before they went to sea, for the final tests.
