Semi-closed systems consist of an impermeable barrier in combination with open net. The aim of such systems is to improve the environment and to protect the fish from parasites such as sea lice. Lice skirt is an effective tool for reducing challenges with sea lice. But at the same time, it contributes to enlarged forces in both the net pen and mooring system. This is due to water is prevented from flowing through the skirt and must find a way around the obstacle. AquaSim has a special developed tool for modelling and analyzing this type of impermeable skirts.
