Specifications Brand Name or Equivalent product sought: AquaMats by NCI International Salient Characteristics of product: - Top of product floats, remainder sinks. - Length=6.5 feet; height=36 inches cut into 1 inch strands. - Length (top floating section), made or formed into an 'M' shape. This configuration promotes an artificial habitat within the tentacles and also appears to be ideal for our desired cleaning effect. - Material must be non-toxic to aquatic organisms and also promote/encourage healthy bacteria and benthic algae which aids in bio-filtration. Spring Creek National Fish Hatchery (SCNFH) is a large salmon production facility located in south central Washington State. Approximately 90% of water utilized for production is re-used. Because water is re-used, extreme care must be taken in the selection of cleaning methods used on the raceways. If too much of the solids are removed at once (excessively stirred-up), that load of material will be introduced to subsequent raceways which can greatly amplify stressors placed on the fish and in turn heighten disease outbreaks. To alleviate this problem, starting in the early 2000s, SCNFH staff experimented with pond cleaning methods which would reduce or eliminate the need to brush clean. A product was located that was designed to float with 'tentacles' that sunk and touched the bottom of the ponds. The ponds are circular and the water flows in a counter-clockwise direction. These floating mats simply go with the flow and the extended tentacles keep solid materials from accumulating on the bottom of the ponds (basically constantly cleaning at a low degree). These mats have reached their end-use point and need to be replaced.
