crafting disease, death and anaerobic bacteria growth
of bamboo or wood
-Size is variable and flexible Advantages of Disadvantages of
-Depth more than 1 m cage culture cage culture
-Freeboard is 15 – 20 cm -Clean water -Fish too crowded
-Mesh 2 inch -Increase stock -Disease spread with
Anchor: -Ensure the cage to not drift away density the cage
- Same as boat anchor -No space required -Predator
- Length of anchor line is depending on -Can transfer to -Vandalism
water depth other location -Poachers
Sinker: -Ensure the cage is always anchored and -Low cost -Vulnerable to
open nature disaster
