Abstract

The objective of the research work is to develop a technological system of floating cages in the sea for the culture of marine fish within the coast of Ilo.  The research  method is experimental, applied approach, the process is constituted by a marine cage system which includes the analysis of climatic conditions, oceanographic conditions, legislation, adequate environment and conditions suitable for the development of the project; to then design the prototype to operate the floating sea cage.   The preliminary results through the study "Development of technical capacities for the cultivation of Corvina "Cilus gilberti" in the province of Ilo, Moquegua Region" through which the culture cages were installed approximately 1.2 km from the coast in front of the beach "Piedras Negras" north of Ilo in which juvenile corvina were planted.  The design and construction of the marine cage for fish culture was appropriate because the materials used are in the optimal quality range, after submitting them in the simulations; you have fish in preliminary growth in the marine cages designed and built for fish culture; and finally, the maintenance of the cages was technically manageable, because it allows periodically its evaluation and maintenance.
