a 6-bag floating cage system could hold 900–1,800 oysters (150–300 per bag), while a multi-tray cage might hold 3,000 oysters, but spaced for grow-out.
The number of contact us today depends on cage size, oyster size/stage, and farming method, but here are common estimates:
General Guidelines
| Cage Type | Oyster Size | Oysters per Cage |
| Nursery Cage (small mesh) | Seed (2–10 mm) | 5,000 – 20,000 |
| Intermediate Cage | Juveniles (10–30 mm) | 2,000 – 5,000 |
| Grow-out Cage (market) | Adults (50–100 mm) | 500 – 2,000 |
Example:
For example, a 6-bag floating cage system could hold 900–1,800 oysters (150–300 per bag), while a multi-tray cage might hold 3,000 oysters, but spaced for grow-out.
If the oysters are still small or in nursery stage, the number can be much higher — even up to 10,000 per cage before thinning out.
