With AutoBoss™ you farm your fish in clean nets, always.
A reliable, automated, and low-cost solution to net fouling
Clean nets quickly and efficiently
Clean nets shouldn’t be a project. With autonomous, gentle grooming, farms keep water flow steady, stress low and operations predictable. Day in, day out.
Put an end to net fouling
Fouling blocks flow, disrupts welfare and derails cycles. Continuous gentle cleaning stops problems before they start – giving fish the conditions they need to thrive.
What is net fouling?

About BossAqua™
The Boss Advantage
The BossAqua™ design philosophy is heavily focused on quality, efficiency, speed and elimination of non-value-adding processes. Manufactured with quality components and design the AutoBoss™ yields exceptional up time and economy per square metre of net washed. Targeted cleaning cycles and high system efficiency equals outstanding performance.
Reliability
We are committed to maximising uptime

Our technical team is always on hand via phone or email, backed by strategic global service partnerships that ensure fast, reliable assistance wherever you are.
What are the machine requirements?
AutoBoss™ machines are robots and therefore require a consistent environment in which to operate. A clear corridor is required around the inside perimeter of a tensioned net with no loose rope or obstacles.
A suitable vessel/platform capable of comfortably lifting 1000kg is required to deploy either AutoBoss™ machine into a pen. A clean fuel supply and trained operator are all that are required to operate AutoBoss™ machines.
What sets AutoBoss™ apart from the rest?
How is AutoBoss™ so easy to use?
AutoBoss™ machines are the easiest to operate net cleaner available. The machine does all of the work, no need for highly skilled ROV operators.

I have no hesitation in recommending the AutoBoss
I have no hesitation in recommending the AutoBoss for further net cleaning operations. We continue to use the machines and have added a V4 recently. I find the AutoBoss delivers an excellent standard of net cleanliness at a high speed with limited impact of the fish. The operation is simple, easy to manage & reliable. In comparison with other net cleaning operations we have trialed, it is very cost effective.
