Lesson 12: Capacity Mapping

For cage farmers, the Capacity Mapping tool helps manage and visualize cage usage effectively.

How to Use

Step 1 - Input Data into App:

• When placing the same size and batch of oysters in multiple cages, start by placing a pin on the lowest numbered cage.

Step 2 - Open Dashboard Capacity Mapping:

• The dashboard will “color in” the appropriate cages based on the input data.

• For example: If you input 5 cages of 10mm and batch 2022, the system will show these cages filled. I.E; the yellow pin in the app and the yellow cages coloured in

• You can then see the remaining spaces on this line and plan to fill them with another size or batch.

Visual Representation:

• Click on the orange dot (representing the pin) to see what’s currently on that line. This comes up in the bottom right corner with all the information from the app.

• Colors represent the grades, similar to the pins.

Mobile Access:

• Load the dashboard on your phone browser when out on the water with good WiFi. This will allow you to see empty spaces for bags in real-time.
