Overview
The first Sea Cage type used by GSA is the typical Vietnamese 4M x 4M x 8M constructed of locally sourced hard wood built on the beach and then transferred to the appropriate growing site of the company’s Grow-Out Farm.
The second Sea Cage type is currently being developed by GSA, under consideration is either the 15M diameter round Sea Cage or possibly the 20M diameter round Sea Cage. GSA anticipates the final design for both of these Sea Cages will be completed by the end of the 3rd QT, 2020 and anticipates delivering the newly developed Sea Cage to the company Grow-Out Farm before the end of the year 2020.
The typical 4M x 4M x 8M Sea Cage can accommodate a stocking density of 100 1kg lobsters or 100 kg of live lobsters per/Sea Cage.
GSA forecast the 15M round Sea Cage will have a stocking density of 1,500 1 kg lobsters or 1,500 kg of live lobsters per/Sea Cage which is 15 times greater than the typical Vietnamese Sea Cage.

SEA CAGE CLEANING
The Grow-Out Farm Sea Cages are cleaned about every two months depending on the marine growth. It is important to keep the Sea cages clean and free of marine growth to increase the habitat quality for the lobsters.
The Sea cages are also cleaned daily to remove any uneaten food and exoskeletons from the molting lobsters in each Sea Cage.

FEEDING
The Lobsters are feed twice a day, once in the morning and then later in the evening. GSA is working to improve the feed quality and is conducting a scientific research project in Nha Trang, Vietnam during 2020. GSA hopes to have the results in the 3rd or 4th qt of 2020, but the preliminary result is extremely positive.
