Title: Aquatic animal cage

Abstract: The cage is made of netting panels forming a basket and flotation material secured to a frame. The frame is made of split tubing, with the edges of the netting inserted into the gap left by the split and secured within the tubing. Seams between netting panels of the basket are formed in the same manner. The tubing can be metallic or flexible plastic tubing with a steel rod inside. The edge of a metallic top for the cage can be secured in the plastic tubing instead. Netting material can be used for the top of the cage, with the flotation material underneath and secured to the netting top. The flotation material also provides shade for the aquatic animals in the cage. An H-shaped metal frame structure preferably is used to provide added strength for the cage top, and to provide a support for a hinged lid.
