Aquatec Indonesia fish pens. It proposed to modify one as a squid 'Holding Pen.' An electric trolling motor, centre
Dr Gleadall has also advised that squid prefer to swim against a fast water flow.
To provide such a flow it is proposed that two electric trolling motors be located on opposite sides of the holding pen causing it to rotate in place; the resulting centrifugal force on the water in the holding pen will create sufficient flow for the squids to swim into.
Solar panels and wind chargers with backup batteries will keep the motors running. The ‘holding pen’ will be anchored from its pivoting centre point.
