Technical drawing plan of the technology

1. Dig 1.70 meter deep

2. Distance of the slope accounting for 1.80 meter

3. Ridge of the pond accounting for 2.50 meters wide

4. Water inlet with a diameter of 8 inches

5. Water outlet with a diameter of 8 inches

Location chosen to build a nursery

1. A place near the shoreline so that a large amount of sea water can be used for cultivation
and water drainage.

2. A source where sea water has salinity not lower than 25 ppt. throughout the year because

sea grapes can grow well in the sea water with salinity between 25-35 parts in 1000 (ppt.). The
place where the farm is located at should be habitats close to the open sea. It should not be situated

at the canal with brackish water carried a long way from the open sea making the water have low
salinity in the rainy season. This is due to the fact that expenses are required and it takes time in

adjusting salinity. If this is so, costs of cultivation increase.

3. Communication is convenient: There is readiness in terms of public utility systems such
as electricity, tap water etc. This is important for equipment, instruments using electricity in sea

grapes cultivation. For the water system, fresh water is used in the farm to wash equipment or to
reduce the salinity level of the sea water.
