Oyster cages
& baskets.

Cage selection starts with the host system and the way stock is loaded, inspected and removed. Use a drawing or sample to align the cage, mesh and attachment details.

Product overview

Match the cage to the culture system.

Oyster cages and baskets can take different forms for floating, suspended or other farm arrangements. Specify the intended deployment method, finished envelope, access points, mesh and how the unit connects to the support or line. Final configuration should be checked against the actual site workflow.

A floating mesh oyster bag holding oysters at a coastal farm — User-provided farm-system image; confirm cage geometry and configuration independently.

Selection principle. The term “cage” covers different structures; a photo alone does not establish load, buoyancy, dimensions or compatibility with a farm line.

What to specify

For a cage inquiry, include an overall drawing, access-point details, system photos, expected loaded weight and the method used to lift or service the unit.

External dimensions	Length × width × depth, including access features	mm or cm; agreed tolerance
Mesh & retention	Pattern, measured opening and smallest stock size	mm; define measurement method
Support	Frame, float and lifting arrangement	Drawing; values to be confirmed
Connections	Line interface, attachment points and fasteners	Show details and materials
Service routine	Loading, lifting, inspection and cleaning	Operating description

BUYER’S GUIDE

Start with the host system

A cage must fit its raft, line, tray or support method. Provide the host-system dimensions and how the cage will be loaded, lifted and opened; then confirm the cage geometry on a drawing.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Are all oyster cages floating cages?

No. Cage and basket formats vary by culture system; state the intended deployment method.

Can a photo establish load capacity?

No. Request documented values for the specific configuration and confirm them against farm conditions.

What information helps a cage quotation?

A system sketch, dimensions, stock stage, service routine and connection details.
