Embodiment Construction

[0031] refer to figure 1 , a top view of a cage 100 shown with a buoyancy structure 101 providing a platform 110 with a walkway of sufficient size and strength to support a person. The platform 110 includes platform sides 110a, 110b, 110c and 110d, which are preferably arranged in a rectangular form, such as square, horizontal, and the like. Platform 110 may include a middle portion 120 that provides a walkway between platform sides 110a and 110c. The platform sides 110a, 110b, 110c and 110d and the middle section 120 may be constructed from a plurality of segments 127 with joints 125 between the segments 127 such that they allow the platform 110 to float and break waves when placed on the water, and the compensating segment and any difference in water level between segments. In another embodiment, multiple platforms 110 may be secured together along their perimeter to form a large cage assembly.

[0032]The preferred platform 110 is made of galvanized steel, although other...

Abstract

An exemplary embodiment of the aquaculture cage of the present invention includes a buoyant structure configured to float on the water surface; an aquaculture net portion made of a material that is corroded by salt water and connected to the buoyancy structure to allow the The top of the aquaculture net section is positioned at a distance below the water surface, wherein the aquaculture net section encloses the interior of the cage from the top of the aquaculture net section to the bottom of the aquaculture net section to retain marine life within; and an upper closure portion that encloses the space above the aquaculture net portion for preventing marine organisms from escaping above the top of the aquaculture net portion, wherein the upper closure portion comprises a material that is not substantially corroded by salt water.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to aquaculture cages commonly used to contain and harvest fish and other marine life. [0002] Cross References to Related Applications [0003] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61 / 092,342, filed August 27, 2008, and claims priority to U.S. Nonprovisional Patent Application No. 12 / 416,740, filed April 1, 2009, all of which The contents are incorporated herein by reference. Background technique [0004] The marine industry seeks to provide a wide variety of fish products by farming fish in controlled environments. The industry is currently growing rapidly, producing many different types of equipment necessary for farming and harvesting fish. Marine aquaculture has several advantages over conventional techniques used in most commercial fishing operations for wild fish, notably predictable yields of fish numbers caught and reduced labor and equipment Advantages in cost. This dev...
