• In Malaysia the main production system for marine fish is still floating net-cages.
• The majority are small-scale farmers who operate small (3 x 3 m) to medium-size (6 x 6 m) cages.

Viet Nam

There are two kinds of cages: wooden frame cages of 3 x 3 x 3 m or 5 x 5 x 5 m are the most popular cages in most
provinces, while Norwegian-style cages with plastic frames that can withstand 9–10 level winds and waves are popular
in Nghe An and Vung Tau

 Trout – Peru

• Total Production in 2015 : 39,077 tonnes

• Trout culture is scattered throughout 17 regions, most of them located in the mountainous area of the Andes. The
majority of the trout production takes place in Puno, Hauncavélica and Junín.
• Officially registered, there are 2,284 farmers with 2,245 hectares in total
• The majority of farmers don’t even have 1 hectare, a very few have 5 hectares and there are only 2 companies
(Piscifactorías de los Andes and Patsac) with more than 50 hectares each
• In Puno, farmers use cages of 5x5x5m in the lakes, especially in Lake Titicaca, like the old-fashioned cages in the Mekong
river in Vietnam for pangasius
• In Huancavélica and Junín farmers use closed ponds in rivers, taking advantage of the water coming in from above and
going out below

Japanese Amberjack
• It ranged between 139 000 and 162 000 between 1996 and 2003; no further growth trend is apparent
• The aquaculture production of Seriola quinqueradiata (Japanese amberjack ) constituted about 57 percent of the
total farmed marine finfish production in Japan in 2003
• Commercial Japanese amberjack culture occurs in sea cages made of nylon netting or metal. The net-pen culture
system is the most prevalent culture system at present and the use of net-pens with a steel frame facilitates
harvesting and, is therefore being widely adapted throughout Japan
• A relatively small-scale production site may have five cages of 10 x 10 x 8 m, while a relatively larger production site
may often have more than 20 cages of 18 x 22 x 8 m or 12 x 12 x 12 m
