Some published literature gives examples of tray-type cage that uses a small mesh size as the floor and a larger mesh size to make up the walls and roof. I have not found examples of this design being used at large scales.
Another option is to use abalone-type cages.
Does anyone have further ideas for suspending specifically sea-cucumbers?
To Mr. Wartenberg
Dr. Yokoyama has written about polyculture With Fish and sea cucumber.
Dr. Pitt and Dr. Nguyen at the Research Institute for Aquaculture in Viet Nam has written about both mono- and polyculture regarding sea cucumber and shrimp/ Babylon snail.
I suggest you to read these articles, and perhaps contact them for further communication regarding polyculture and sea cucumber.

Dear Halldis,
Thanks for your response. The Yokoyama paper is one I know well. I will source the Pitt and Nguyen chapter.
Are you working on Sea Cucumbers?

Hi
Yes, I have done some work on Fishing, Processing, and exporting Norwegian sea cucumbers to Asia. (An article on the topic has recently been accepted.) During this work I did some travelling to China visiting a few Companies farming sea cucumbers.
Regards, Halldis R.
