A cage for raising fish and adapted to rest on the bottom of an outdoor body of water, the cage comprising:

• a frame defining outer boundaries of an enclosure having a top, a bottom and a side wall intersecting the top and bottom of the enclosure;
• a first netting covering the top and side wall but not the bottom, the first netting having mesh openings sized to prevent predators of the first from entering the enclosure bounded by the first netting;
• a second netting covering the bottom of the enclosure, the second netting having second mesh openings larger than the first mesh openings and sized to prevent the fish from leaving the enclosure bounded by the second netting;

• a frame defining outer boundaries of an enclosure having a top, a bottom and a side wall intersecting the top and bottom of the enclosure;
• a first netting covering the top and side wall but not the bottom, the first netting having mesh openings sized to prevent other fish competing for food and predators of the fish from entering the enclosure bounded by the first netting;
• a second netting covering the bottom of the enclosure, the second netting having second mesh openings larger than the first mesh openings and sized to permit plant and animal life on the bottom of the of the body of water to enter the enclosure while preventing the fish from leaving the enclosure bounded by the second netting;
• a first door disposed in one of the top, bottom and side wall permitting access to the enclosure;
• and
• a second door overlaying the first door.

A cage for raising fish and adapted to rest on the bottom of an outdoor body of water, the cage comprising:

• a frame defining outer boundaries of an enclosure having a top, a bottom and opposed ends and opposed sides intersecting the top and bottom of the enclosure;
• a first netting covering the top, the ends and sides but not the bottom, the first netting having mesh openings sized to permit ambient water and particles therein to circulate within the enclosure as well as to prevent other fish competing for food and predators of the fish from entering the enclosure bounded by the first netting;
• a second netting covering the bottom of the enclosure, the second netting having second mesh openings larger than the first mesh openings and sized to permit plant and animal life on the bottom of the of the body of water to enter the enclosure while preventing the fish from leaving the enclosure bounded by the second netting;
• a first door formed by cutting a flap in the first netting on the top of the enclosure to permit access to the enclosure;
• and
• a second door formed from a flap of netting connected at one edge to the cage and overlaying the first door.
