Sea Farming - A New Trend Of Raising Fish
Wednesday, February 13th, 2008With fish catch getting scarcer from marine waters it is about time growing fish in cages at the coastal waters of the sea where overcrowding to avoid fish kill and other problems is nil. There are probably many protected coves in your area which could be utilized for growing marine fish in cages. One showcase of productive fish farming is raising such species as milkfish (bangus), pompano, seabass, lapulapu and snapper. What one has to need is a small area where one can set up a cage measuring 15 meters in length by 15 meters in width and 5 meters in depth. Such an area could produce thirty five to forty tons of milkfish or pompano in just one cage. Such yield is equivalent to ten hectares of earthen fishpond under the extensive system of culturing.
