Problems solved by technology

However, the loss of coral reefs during the transplantation process may be more than the output, and the results are often not worth the candle; (2) gardening coral cultivation: in the laboratory or in a specific sea area, coral fragments or larvae are cultivated, and when the coral grows to a certain size , and then transplanted to the bottom of the degraded coral reef area, this method helps the transplanted corals adapt to the new environment and reproduce, but this horticultural farming method is limited by the cultivation environment and transplantation process, the growth and reproduction efficiency of corals Low, heavy workload, not suitable for large-scale cultivation of corals and reconstruction of coral reefs in real marine environments
Large-scale reproduction of corals and reconstruction of coral reefs are worldwide problems. The laboratory can obtain a small number of coral embryos or fertilized eggs, but cannot effectively reproduce coral larvae

Embodiment 1

[0022] Combined with the manual figure 1 As shown, the device for floating three-dimensional cultivation of coral in seawater includes a floating body 1, a connecting body and a floating body connector 6; the connecting body includes a connecting object 2 and a base 3; the floating body 1 is connected to the connecting object 2; The connector 2 is provided with a base 3; the coral 4 to be cultivated is fixed on the base 3 by an adhesive. A buoyant body 1 is connected with a connection body, a base 3 is arranged on the connection body 2, and a piece of coral 4 is cultivated on the base 3. The floating body 1 floats on the sea surface, and the connecting body is suspended in the seawater. The floating body 1 is a ship, and the floating body 1 can move on the sea surface; the connecting object 2 is a metal rod.

[0023] At the same time, an underwater light source, blue-violet LED (400-460nm wavelength) lamp is arranged on the floating body or the connecting object, which is us...

Embodiment 2

[0027] On the basis of the device of embodiment 1, the device is further improved, as described in the attached description figure 2 shown.

[0028] The device is provided with at least 2 floating bodies 1, and each floating body 1 is provided with at least 2 connecting bodies, and each connecting body 2 is provided with at least 2 bases 3, and each base 3 is fixed with at least 2 Two pieces of coral 4 are directly fixed on the base 3 with a small piece of coral, and then a large number of bases 3 are connected in series on the connector 2, and are directly suspended in the seawater through the floating body 1. Due to the adoption of suspension culture, a large number of corals 4 can be fixed in series on one connector 2, and corals can be cultivated at high density in seawater, which expands the scale; multiple bases 3 are arranged at different heights of the connector, and at the same time, the device A plurality of light sources are provided on the floating body 1 or the ...

Embodiment 3

[0030] The device is further improved on the basis of the device in Example 2.

[0031] There are also sensors on the floating body of the device to detect the temperature of seawater, CO 2 Content and ion concentration, and detection of air temperature, CO in the air 2 Content, wind direction and light intensity, in order to bring a better living environment for coral cultivation, improve survival rate and growth speed. The unit is fitted with small power generating devices, such as solar panels. The energy obtained from power generation can be stored in energy storage elements for use by the device's power system, lighting system and sensing system.

Abstract

Disclosed is a floating three-dimensional device for culturing coral in seawater. The device comprises a floating body, a connecting body and a floating body connector, and the connecting body is arranged in the seawater; the connecting body comprises a connecting object and a base; the floating body is connected with the connecting object; the connecting object is provided with the base; the baseis fixedly provided with the coral. The device can be not only used for the ultra-large-scale culture of the coral but also used as attachment land for some bacteria, algae and the like in a marine ecosystem or provide a habitat place for other organisms such as certain zooplankton, the growth surface area of marine organisms is increased, and the device has important ecological significance; thedevice can also be used for adjusting the materials and numbers of all parts according to actual conditions, all the parts can be freely combined into different configurations, and the device has high applicability.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of marine organisms, and in particular relates to a floating three-dimensional coral cultivation device in seawater. Background technique [0002] Coral reefs are an important part of the marine system and an indispensable ecosystem for the planet. However, in recent years, with the deterioration of the global ecology, coral reefs have severely declined, and my country's sea areas have not been spared. Increased sea temperature, ocean acidification caused by the greenhouse effect, seawater pollution, and enhanced ultraviolet radiation are all important factors that cause coral reef degradation. [0003] At present, the culture method about coral mainly contains: (1) coral transplantation: the coral of collecting healthy coral reef area is transplanted to degraded coral reef area. However, the loss of coral reefs during the transplantation process may be more than the output, and the results are often not w...
