Abstract

Aquaculture systems are very diverse in their design and function. The three most basic categories of culture systems are: i) Open systems, ii) Semi closed and iii) Closed systems. Modern cage culture began in 1950’s with the advent of synthetic materials for cage construction. The major advantage of cage culture is use of existing water bodies, technical simplicity, simplified harvest and low capital cost compared with land based farm. But it has got certain disadvantages like feed must be nutritionally balanced, pollution, out break of disease, vandalism etc.
