The Aquaculture Podcast Show - Protecting Offshore Sea Cages From Predator Damage | Ep. 73

In this episode of The Aquaculture Podcast Show's Norway Special Series, we explore how offshore sea cage design can reduce spiny dogfish damage through smarter mortality management, stronger net materials, and species-specific deterrent technologies. We examine why breaches concentrate in deeper cage sections, how operational practices influence risk, and what strategies can improve infrastructure resilience. Listen now on all major platforms!
