Abstract

The cage culture industry is a relatively recent development in Malaysia with large scale farming in marine waters taking off only in the 1980s and in inland waters in the 1990s. In 1997, total production from cage farms amounted to 7,314 tons or 8% of the total aquaculture production. However, cage farm output amounted to US$ 29 million or 18% of the total aquaculture value. Production was oriented largely towards production of high valued finfish for the live trade. In 1997, there were 58,500 marine cages in the country with a total area of 680,893 sq. m.
