Is the number of separate components and fasteners a problem?
The Aquapod has been designed to be modular, with many separate net panels, each sized to be easily handled, removable and replaceable with minimal effort whether above or below water. Think of it like a brick building: many small components forming a strong structure. Stronger than a brick wall, the Aquapod takes advantage of geodesic geometry to form an incredibly stable structure that is extremely resistant to deformation. In addition to strength, the modularity of the Aquapod makes this net pen easy to maintain and modify. Individual panels or groups of panels can be removed and replaced while the pen is in the water and stocked with fish. The fasteners used to attach panels are available everywhere, so regular inspection and replacement, which is part of any containment management system, is easy.
