Synopsis (short abstract) Cage culture of marine fish was initially identified as a possible activity to provide employment for poor fishermen at the Kuala Besut Small-Scale Fisheries Development pilot site, Kuala Besut, Trengganu, Malaysia. The following work describes the preliminary hydrographic and biological surveys made to determine the feasibility of starting a pilot cage culture project in the area. Subsequently, a plan of work was drafted and actual implementation was started. Activities included the collection of suitable fish for stocking the demonstration cages, the construction of cages using designs found successful in other areas and rearing of selected species of fish in the cages. This work is continuing and future work plans have been formulated. Environmental conditions and results of the trial culture operations are being monitored. Training of local counterpart staff and fish farmers is a part of this work.

Follow-up assistance by a fishery biologist and a master fish farmer to the fish cage farming activity at the Kuala Besut Small-Scale Fisheries Pilot Project was undertaken. The problems encountered with the original cages set in the Kuala Setiu Lagoon were identified. New innovations with regards to the physical structure of the cages as well as with their management were initiated to try to solve some of the problems. Continued implementation of this activity was pursued by the master fish far mer within a three-month stay at the site.
