With the booming of cage aquaculture on the Volta Lake in Ghana, more farms keep springing up with varied technologies and materials for construction. This picture shows plastic gallon-like material used as floats for four (4) cages of dimensions 5m×5m×5m.

This picture was taken a few meters from the famous Adomi bridge on the Volta Lake in the Asuogyaman District of Ghana; at a suburb called Atimpoku. Stocked species is Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus.
