Response to posting by Jana Jeglinski:

Coda Enterprises, Inc makes net guns for capture of a wide variety of species. You just need to tell them what you want to capture and from what distance and they will recommend you a product that will work.  We have just ordered one designed to capture adult male steller sea lions (haven’t used it yet, but have been assured it will work).   The contact information for this company is Corey Gray at 480-964-0155 or netgun@cox.net and they have a website www.codaenterprises.com that talks about their products.  Corey Gray is extremely willing and helpful and can discuss with you the best options and work with you to come up with a solution that is sure to work.  The equipment is of very good quality, priced moderately, but is HEAVY and thus may be difficult for a smaller build person to use with ease. 

Hope this helps!

Dear all,

I am looking for companies producing capture nets for pinnipeds (sea lions).
Does anybody know an alternative to Fuhrmann Diversified (flexinet) ?


Thanks and all the best
