There is some confusion concerning the terms "cage culture" and "pen culture" in fish farming. ... Both cage and pen culture are types of enclosure culture, and involve holding organisms captive within an enclosed space whilst maintaining a free exchange of water. The two methods, however, are distinct from one another. A cage is totally enclosed on all, or all but the top, sides by mesh or netting, whereas in pen culture the bottom of the enclosure is formed by the lake or sea bottom ... 4, record 10, English, - cage%20culture

La culture en cage et la culture en enclos sont toutes les deux des genres de pisciculture en enceinte et demandent que l’organisme soit retenu captif dans un espace clôturé tout en maintenant un échange d’eau permanent. Cependant les deux méthodes sont distinctes l’une de l’autre. Une cage est totalement fermée par des rets ou par un filet, la partie supérieure pouvant, cependant, dans certains cas, rester libre. Dans la culture en enclos, par contre, le fond de l’enclos est formé par le fond du lac ou de la mer où repose l’enclos. 3, record 10, French, - %C3%A9levage%20en%20cage

Cage culture is to raise chickens in cages, usually in multi-layer cage culture. The cages are stacked one on top of the other. The area above the chicken coop can be used together to raise more chickens, and the cage culture method can raise more than three times more chickens in the same chicken coop area than flat culture. 1, record 11, English, - cage%20culture
