Patent number: 11825815Abstract: A buoyancy system is for a fish pen. The fish pen has an enclosure for keeping fish confined in the fish pen, the enclosure being secured to an inner flexible buoyancy body floating on a water surface. The buoyancy system has an outer buoyancy body on the outside of the inner buoyancy body. The inner buoyancy body is attached to the outer buoyancy body with a mooring so that the outer buoyancy body and the inner buoyancy body move independently of each other relative to waves.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2020Date of Patent: November 28, 2023Assignee: Akvadesign ASInventors: Anders Naess, Trond Otto Johnsen
