Relatively speaking, bottom-seated aquaculture cages have less damage to the environment, and floating aquaculture cages have the least damage to the environment. However, in order to resist marine environmental loads such as wind, waves and currents, aquaculture cages need to be equipped with a mooring system to ensure the safety of floating aquaculture cages.
