Construction And Installation Of Hexagonal Wooden Cages For Fish Farming A Technical Manual

Description:

"This document is a practical guide that includes a list and the technical details of materials to construct a hexagonal wooden cage for fish farming, and its mooring system, for use in artisanal aquaculture. Instructions for assembling the various components are illustrated in detail, and technical guidelines for cage installation at the farming site are also described. This manual also offers basic advice on the choice of cage model and the components to be used based on the environmental, logistical and social conditions of the site. The physiological requirements of the species reared and their impact on production levels are discussed with the aim of providing the minimum information necessary for planning and setting up such an activity. This technical manual also explains that it is possible, using the illustrated cage model, to exploit environments that are more dynamic than those in which artisanal aquaculture traditionally operates. Additional technical information on the topics treated in the manual is provided in the appendixes."--Page iv.
