Net for aquaculture

A net comprising cords joined in a net mesh, wherein

• the cords in the net mesh are joined by knots such that the net mesh has a mesh size of at least 8 mm as measured from center to center of 2 adjacent knots of the net mesh, and wherein
• each cord comprises one or more yarns, wherein the yarns comprise fibers formed of ultrahigh molecular weight (UHMWPE) fibers, and wherein the yarns have a tenacity of at least 0.6 N/tex as measured according to ASTM D885M, and wherein
• the cords further comprise a polymeric resin which impregnates the one or more yarns throughout a cross-section thereof such that the polymeric resin is present between substantially all of the fibers of the one or more yarns and in contact with at least 70% of surfaces of the fibers of the one or more yarns, and wherein
• the polymeric resin is a homopolymer or copolymer of ethylene and/or propylene, wherein the polymeric resin has a density as measured according to ISO1183-2004 in the range from 860 to 970 kg/m3, a peak melting temperature measured according to ASTM E794-06 in the range from 40 to 140° C. and a heat of fusion of at least 5 J/g measured according to ASTM E793-85 considering the second heating curve at a heating rate of 10 K/min, on a dry sample.
