Embodiment Construction

[0040] figure 1 A side view of an embodiment of an aquaculture facility according to the invention is shown. It has to be pointed out that in this figure as well as in the other figures the arrangement is shown purely schematically to explain the general mode of operation of the invention. The drawings are not true to scale and are not complete, only schematically showing components which are necessary to understand the invention.

[0041] The device consists of several rectangular cages 1 for culturing fish and a ballasted and underwater floating structure 2 . The overall shape of the device is rectangular. It consists of two parallel shells 5 mounted at the bottom of each side 7 and having keels. The upper part presents a flat surface.

[0042] The device comprises anchoring means with rigid anchoring arms 3 . The jib is connected on one side 6 to the structure 2 of the plant and on the other side is anchored on a single anchor point 4 in the field environment, which is...

Abstract

The aim of the present invention is to propose an offshore aquaculture installation in a healthy environment for fish, having the smallest possible impact on the environment in terms of pollution, with a combination of technical means ensuring the stability of the structure and the safety of humans, with all the equipment necessary for easy offshore operation. This aim achieved by an offshore aquaculture installation comprising one or a plurality of cages (1) for breeding fish and a floating structure (2) that is ballasted and submersible. The installation is characterised in that it comprises a main anchoring device having an anchor line (3) linked on one side (6) of the structure (2) and capable of being anchored on the other side to a single anchoring point (4) in the installation environment, the structure comprising at least two parallel casings (5) containing adjustable ballasts, said casings (5) being in installed at the bottom of each of the lateral face (7) of the structure (2), in that the cage or cages (1) is / are square or rectangular, and in that the upper portion of the installation constitutes a handling bridge providing access to the cages.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an offshore aquaculture facility. Background technique [0002] Intensive farming in closed environments currently tends to be developed on a large scale. To this end, a number of wire cages have been established in which a species of fish can be kept, kept away from predators, their health monitored and easily caught when they have reached the desired size. [0003] The reasons for placing aquaculture facilities in protected locations such as atolls or fjords are known. However, a disadvantage of these installations is their capacity, since the water is only partially renewed and undergoes different pollution processes. As a result, localized contamination of the space housing the fish, as well as contamination of the underwater space located beneath the facility, also reduces the amount of oxygen available in the rearing space. As this situation contributes considerably to disease development, the density of fish i...
