Design capacity
Sea cages
Floating circular cages in 250,000 m² of Arabian Gulf water.
A circular cage: HDPE ring, net, walkway.
Rings on open water. The medium is the Gulf itself.
250,000 m² offshore beside Dalma for grow-out.
Fish live in real seawater: current, oxygen, temperature.
Sea cages are the current offering. Juveniles are stocked for grow-out in rings of HDPE pipe with a net hanging in the water column and a walkway for feeding and inspection. The fish live in real seawater — current, dissolved oxygen, the temperature of the Gulf.
The process is receive, stock, feed slowly, read the water, grow to harvest weight, then lift the crop. A cage has to be stocked at a density the water will carry.
The offshore lease is 250,000 square metres beside Dalma. Design capacity of the cages is 5,000 tonnes. A processing plant on the same island is planned for a later phase.
Nothing here is a claim that those tonnes have already been harvested. The figures are design capacities.
The process
How this plant is run, or is planned to run, step by step.
Each step is cultivation work — water, feed, transfer, ice — not a portrait of the company.
01
Receive juveniles from the hatchery
Fingerlings are meant to leave the Dalma nursery, not a crate at the harbour. The short crossing is the point of the platform: seed does not travel a country.
02
Stock circular floating cages
A cage is a ring of HDPE pipe, a net hanging in the water column, a walkway for feeding and inspection. Fish are stocked at a density the Gulf water will carry — not the density a painted tank might pretend.
03
Feed on a measured schedule
Pellets are dosed, not thrown. Once the planned island mill is built, the feed will come from Dalma.
04
Read the water every day
Current, dissolved oxygen, salinity and temperature are the Gulf’s. Divers, slow fish and a daily reading are how the crop is kept. A cage cannot be heated or lit like an onshore tank.
05
Grow out to harvest weight
This is the long middle: from fingerling to a fish that can be harvested. Design capacity of the rings is 5,000 tonnes on 250,000 square metres of offshore water.
06
Take the crop from the ring
When fish reach harvest weight they are lifted from the cage. A processing plant on the same island is planned for a later phase.
