Leidin gongur til vesturstrondina, til eitt plåss, id nevnt verdur Galway. Tad liggur nærhendis bynum Shannon. Har liggur i dag heimsins størsti aliringur. Møguliga verður eitt úrslit av hesi ferð, at føroyingar fara at keypa sær hetta nýggja aliringaslagið og brúka tað á okkara firðum saman við teimum smærru ringunum vit í dag hava.

Hverja viku verða nýggir aliringar lagdir út á sjógv ymsa staðni kring oyggjarnar. Um nekur fá ár fer henda nýggja vinnan helst at leggja nógv eftir seg til landshúsarhaldið, og lítla tjóð okkara verður ikki Stórur áhugi var fyri japi bundin av fiskivinnuni í eins stóran mun sum hig- artil. Men skulu vit klára at kappast við aðrar á hesum vinnuøkinum, so er neyð- ugt bæði við egnum royndum og at fylgja við, hverjar royndir aðrir gera sær.

This unit is not only the largest floating salmon cage in the world; it also boasts the world's most expensive anchors — precision dies and presses purchased from a factory as scrap! Writing in the latest issue of Aquaculture Ireland, editor John Joyce says the story started last December when Joe Loftus, the Dublin born Western Hemisphere representative of the Bridgestone Corporation, went to BIM, the Insh Sea Fishenes Board, to extol the virtues of a new fish enclosure his company had developed in Japan As explained in the April ssue of FF this cage was next step in salmon farming built to withstand the the graduation into larger typhoon winds and seas deep water units encountered by Japanese fish A further meeting was tus' ambition would come farmers and was built of the called of farmers with a seri- true the first European same super-tough tema! = ous interest and so, in Feb- Bridgestone cage would be used to pipe oil from single- ruary at BIM point moorings into super tankers at sea h — had two unique »ple willing t problems of the sea features: it was flexible money on the table Joyce, owner of one of re He returned der to move with the and invest in the Bridgestone land's most successful fish being able to handle the sys motion of the waves, and it system processing units insh tem as project manager and was big, in á range of sizes Hiroshi Sasak nventor Seafresh Foods Ltd in July up to 665 sq. metres by ten of the metres deep which made t the largest single floating fish pen unit in the world system handling what must inevitably be the tricity Supply Board and one representa »f Bridgestone and its land I associate Mitsur answered questions about the practical recognised the potential of yf so big a brain child.

Thus one man's dream became the anchors of another at a cost to Emerald of £100 á ton!

Ein breti var komin úr London við einum japanskum filmi og annars til at greiða frá tí japanska aliringinum. Talan er um eitt óvanliga stórt slag av ali ringum, ið bert japanarar hava gjørt higartil. Tað var í 1980, at teir fór undir at gera prototypuna og í dag eru nakrir av hesum aliringum í brúk í Japan, Sovjetsamveldinum, |r- landi, Skotlandi og aðra- staðni við. Bretin greiddi frá, at eft- irspurningurin er sera stórur, hóast tað at talan her er um eina rættiliga stóra ílegu uppá seg. Ein rigur, ið er uppá 6650 kubikk kostar umleið eina mill. kr. Men tá rúmar hann eisini eins nógv og 13 av teimum hyljunum, føroyingar í dag brúka. Jørgen Gunnarson t INSKU Bi Gummiringur Hetta slagið av aliringun er ikki vorðið til av eini tilvild. Japanskir serfrød hava leingi arbeitt ingar við at tekna og gera ein er slíkan aliring og hava teir eisini brúkt allar nútímans hentleikar til tess at finna júst tann rætta og besta aliringin. Aliringurin verð- ur gjørdur úr gummi og er júst gummi rætta tilfarið at brúka til ein aliring, vildi bretin, ið eisini svar- aði spurningum frá foroysku alarunum, vera við. Tað vísir seg nevni- liga, at gummievnið ger, at aldurnar missa teirra oyðileggjandi megi, tá tær raka aliringin. Hann rætt og slætt livir í sjónum, meðan verandi aliringar í dag, sum eru úr alumin- ium og plastevni, meira arbeiða ímóti alduni og tí- skil farast lættari í ódnar- veðri. Tað kunnu helst vera fleiri meiningar um henda nýggja aliringin, um hvussu væl egnaður hann er til føroysk viðurskifti ella ikki. Givið er, at hann er tryggur í ódnarveðri og Anfinn Djurhuus ur júst ein av vid alingini Síðan kemur nn í myndinga vit, at ekini fiskaaling eru avmarkað og eru vit tí fyrr ella seinn noyddir at fara longur fri landi, har tað vituligt er meira ókyrt. Tá kann ein slíkur ringur vera til stora nyttu. Japanarar hava aliringin í aldum uppí 7-12 metrar, og kláraði hann seg avbera væl. Teir hava tó »bert« roynt hann við roynt fiski í eini aldu uppá 5 metrar, men tað er nú heldur ikki so lítið. Tá kláraði bæði fiskurin og aliringurin seg serstakliga væl. Triggjar steddir Talan er annars um tríggj- ar steddir av aliringum, ið verða settir saman av ein- støkum gummipørtum við sambindarliði í einum hverjum enda. Hesi stykki kunnu so setast saman sum ein ynskir tað, alt eftir, hvussu stórur ringurin skal vera og hvat Kaldbak um teir I i 4
