Fish Cage Farming
Fish cage is a widely adopted method of aquaculture. In this method, fish are raised in enclosed net structures (netting) installed in natural water bodies (such as the ocean, lakes, or reservoirs). These floating fish cages not only ensure natural water circulation but also maintain a controllable breeding environment.
With the rapid growth in global seafood demand, fish cage farming has become an efficient and scalable solution for commercial aquaculture operations. It has several advantages, such as lower infrastructure costs compared to land-based farming systems, flexible deployment methods, and the ability to adapt to various marine environments for aquaculture.
Choosing the right fish cage system is important. Different farming environments from sheltered coastal areas to harsh nearshore waters require different fish cages.

Different Types of Fish Cage Systems in Aquaculture
The fish cage farming system can be classified into three major categories based on environmental conditions and application scenarios.
Deep-sea Fish Cage（Offshore fish cage）
Deep-sea fish cages are designed for open sea environments, usually located several kilometers away from the coastline, where the conditions of waves, wind, and currents are more intense.
Our fish cages are typically constructed using high-density polyethylene (HDPE) to ensure their durability and stability in extreme marine environments.
Leisure Fish Cage
Leisure fish cages are mainly used in calm and sheltered waters, such as ports, lagoons, and tourist areas. These systems are usually combined with leisure activities such as fishing experiences, eco-tourism, or beach attractions.
Compared with deep-sea fish cages, the leisure fish cages place greater emphasis on convenience, safety, and appearance design.

Raft-Style Fish Cage (Nearshore Fish cage)
Raft-Style Fish Cages are placed in semi-shaded coastal waters, usually protected by natural barriers such as bays or islands.
These fish cages have found a good balance between cost and performance, and widely used solutions in the global aquaculture sector.
