Fish cage culture is one of the fastest growing business opportunity right now.  The use of fish pens and fish ponds to grow out common varieties of fish is a thing of the past due to environmental problems such as water pollution and poor water management.  Fish cage culture at sea or in brackish waters is now more popular here and abroad.  INCA’s fish cage system includes plastic polyethylene pipes, plastic double or single stanchions (shown in Photo), nursery & grow out nets, net weights, and mooring devices.

With INCA’s plastic circular or rectangular fish cage system, various high value fish such as the Green Grouper (Lapu Lapu) can be produced intensively to standard marketable sizes.  Milk fish (Bangus) production is also a regular variety to culture in these fish cages.  Depending on loading densities of fish fingerlings, production capacities of these fish cages can be up to 10 to 20 Metric tons of fish harvest every grow-out cycle of 4 months.

In coordination with the Philippine Bureau of Fish and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) INCA has access to the various technologies and experiences in developing and operating mariculture systems for various species of fish production.  Now, there are at least 25 Mariculture Parks in the Philippines that are able to orient and accept investors or entreprenuers who are interested to venture into fish farming.
