Sea farming - a new trend of raising fish

Increasingly scarce fish catch from marine waters, it is time for growing fish in cages in the coastal waters of the sea, where to avoid overcrowding, killing fish and other problems is zero. Probably there are many sheltered bays in your area that could be used for the cultivation of marine fish in cages. A showcase of productive fish farming raises these species as milkfish (bangus), pompano, sea bass, snapper and Lapulapu. What should you need is a small area, where they were established, can be aCage measuring 15 meters in length by 15 meters wide and 5 meters in depth. Such an area could produce thirty-five to forty tons of milkfish pompano or only in a cage. This yield equivalent to ten hectares of earthen pond under the extensive system of cultivation.

In setting up this type of venture requires a reasonable investment, involving a range of several thousand dollars for each cage. There are steel cages from Chile, round cages from Europe and Taiwan. The advantage ofFish grown in cages that they can easily be harvested and sold live. Therefore, they command a much higher price. The area you're supposed to set up your cage is virtually typhoon free. Another advantage is that, the space is limited, stacked with a lot of fish because the water is of high quality and there is no need to water as often in earthen ponds pump.

Fewer workers are needed in the sea cage culture. However, we mustemploy some divers who would bear the anxiety, and check if there is damage, especially when they use the Net as a cage. The networks need to be checked regularly, if it algae that develop over the net, which prevents the free flow of water. Fish in cages must feed exclusively with commercial feeds. To produce a kilo of milkfish (bangus), the fish consumed 2.8 kg feed with a value of U.S. $ 1.50. Normally most requested size milkfish are three pieces of the same in pounds, that fetches a price of U.S. $ 2.00 oneKilos.

Pompano, sea bass and snapper are also promising high value species that can grow for domestic and export markets. Live sea bass and snapper command a high price. It could fetch from U.S. $ 10.00 U.S. $ 15.00 a kilo in a domestic market. The preferred size is five hundred to six hundred grams per fish.

In every company, the aquaculture project is the construction of a fish is a significant advantage by supplying the fingerling and other high value species for whichSea farmers grow. The availability of fingerling means that investors do not need care more about their care, because they know where it is now ready source of fingerling requirements.
