Net pens definition
Net pens means culturing systems that generally consist of two nets—an interior net to keep fish in and an exterior net to exclude predators. Net pens are typically anchored to the waterbody floor and suspended from the surface with a floatation structure; the netting continues above the water to a degree to stop fish from jumping out. Fish pen structures solely and directly established and managed for purposes of salmon enhancement and/or restoration are not considered net pens for purposes of this Program.
