The insert here shows the frames of two cages. In fact these are only two samples of fourteen cages, belonging to a community group in the Asuogyaman District of Ghana.
It was constructed for them for a pilot aquaculture project by an NGO. The size of the cage is 2.2m×2.2m×2m, and occupies a volume of 136m3 on the Lake Volta.
Although it was an NGO pilot project for this community, the cage frames were not very strong; floats were made of about 4inches PVC pipe; which made them weak on the lake. After the pilot project, the cages had since been given to the beneficiaries to use to improve their living conditions.
