ASA-IM, USB, and USSEC began the Ocean Cage Aquaculture Technology (OCAT) project in 2004. The OCAT project included the design and construction of ocean cages designed to survive typhoon-strength storms. The patent-pending OCAT cages are 100 cubic meter, rigid frame cages capable of culturing up to 10 metric tons of fish per cage. The cages are designed to be primarily auto-submersible and operate with a single point mooring system.

The marine fish in the OCAT cages are fed with soy-based, floating aquafeeds.
