Filmar trawls are durable, research-grade nets designed for deep-sea and large-lake sampling. Towed behind a vessel, they allow for efficient capture of aquatic species in marine or freshwater environments. Constructed with abrasion-resistant materials and optimized for your specific needs, our trawls minimize environmental impact while delivering reliable, high-quality data for scientific research projects.

Filmar capture traps are designed for behavioral studies, migration monitoring, and marking programs. These scientific fish traps allow for gentle, stress-free capture and temporary retention of fish, supporting observation and handling with minimal impact. Built with durable materials and a modular design, each trap is adapted for use in rivers, lakes, or coastal environments. A reliable tool for any scientific fishing project, they ensure both specimen safety and the integrity of collected data.

Seines are drag nets used in scientific fishing, ideal for sampling in shallow aquatic environments. Commonly deployed by researchers for temporary fish capture, they provide a fast and effective way to assess species composition within a habitat. Filmar seines are custom-made — with or without a central bag — using materials suited for both freshwater and marine conditions. Sturdy, lightweight, and easy to handle, they offer a dependable solution for field-based aquatic research.

Gillnets are stationary scientific nets used to assess fish population composition in rivers, lakes, and coastal environments. They allow for efficient and selective capture while preserving the physical integrity of the specimens. Filmar offers both standard and fully customizable gillnets — tailored by mesh size, net length, and specific research goals. Whether for biodiversity surveys or population studies, these nets are an essential tool for aquatic research professionals.

Fyke nets are essential passive fishing tools for scientific research, designed to capture fish selectively and without harm. By guiding specimens into a holding chamber, they support a range of applications including tagging, biodiversity inventories, and behavioral studies. Filmar manufactures fyke nets using durable, high-quality materials suited for all aquatic environments. Easy to deploy and built to last, they provide a reliable, field-proven solution that meets the standards of scientific fishing.

Sieves are essential tools for analyzing plankton and aquatic microorganisms in the field. Filmar’s research-grade sieves are built with precision meshes and materials resistant to both freshwater and saltwater conditions. Lightweight, stackable, and easy to clean, they ensure efficient, accurate filtration for biological and environmental studies. An indispensable part of any scientific sampling effort, they support the collection of high-quality, reliable data.

Fish holding cages are essential for keeping specimens alive and secure during or after capture. Commonly used in survival, reproduction, or behavioral studies, they provide a controlled, low-stress environment for observation. Filmar designs durable cages with excellent water circulation and a modular, easy-to-transport structure. Ideal for aquatic research professionals, they offer a dependable solution for temporary specimen housing in the field.
