Description Low-cost cage technology was
demonstrated by Karwar Research Centre to the local fisher
folk so as to motivate them to take up small-scale cage farming.
The cage is manufactured by using GI pipes of 1.5" diameter
painted with epoxy paint. For floatation 6 fiber barrels inflated
with 28 lb air were used. The cage is provided with an inner
HDPE net of 18 mm and an outer HDPE net of 48 mm. For
mooring purposes, 1.5-tonne concrete blocks are used. The
stocking capacity of this cage is about 2000 fingerlings of sea
bass and has a production capacity of 1.5 tonne fish. The total
cost of the cage including cage, floats, nets, mooring etc is only
about Rs.50,000.
