Product 07 / Cage format

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.

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.

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.
