Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical fields of offshore artificial algal fish reefs, artificial natural fishing grounds, marine pastures, artificial marine biological factories, artificial marine forests, and artificial undersea mountains. Technical Background

[0002] Due to overfishing, extensive farming regardless of the environment, as well as coastal urban construction and industrial development, etc., the coastal ecological environment has been damaged. The resources of some marine economic organisms such as fish, shellfish, and large seaweeds have severely declined, the amount of marine biological resources has sharply decreased, and some fish resources are on the verge of extinction. The once-abundant wild large yellow croaker, small yellow croaker, hairtail, sea bream, Chinese prawn, etc. are now difficult to catch. The seaweed bed is the breeding ground and nursery ground for many fish and shellfish. The degradation of the seaweed bed directly affects the quantity and quality of fish and shellfish resources.

[0003] However, the ecological engineering facilities such as artificial algal fish reefs, artificial mountains, and artificial algal beds used in current marine pastures can repair and optimize the ecological environment and build habitats for aquatic organisms, but they are all too costly and the effects are not ideal.

[0004] In terms of adapting to the characteristics of marine organisms' survival, artificial algal fish reefs should have as large a surface area as possible and as many maze-like caves, crevices, voids, and channels as possible, and also be low-cost and high-cost-effective. However, the currently placed artificial algal fish reefs are high-cost and low-cost-effective. Most of them are made of cement frame structures, with too small a surface area that can be formed, making it difficult to provide enough surface area for micro and pico marine organisms that live by attachment. The various caves, cavities, and voids formed by the cement block algal fish reefs are too few to provide enough habitats, spawning grounds, nursery grounds, shelters for juveniles, and habitats for marine organisms.

[0005] The artificial algal fish reef technology proposed by the present invention can overcome some of the shortcomings of current artificial algal fish reefs, can create a high-cost-effective marine pasture and improve the productivity of the ocean, and provides a method for restoring the natural ecology of marine biodiversity, using natural resources for marine restoration, and increasing the marine organisms in the entire food chain (network).

[0027] Figure 6 It is a diagram of an object that can increase the surface area and cavities.

[0028] The artificial algae and fish reef with a large surface area (as Figure 3 shown), consists of a three - dimensional framework (such as Figure 1 ,Figure 3 as shown in 2 of Figure 2 and Figure 3 as shown in 1 and 3 of

[0029] (1) The three-dimensional framework described above is a three-dimensional framework composed of several connecting pieces (such as Figure 1 as shown), a seedling rope net is provided on the three-dimensional framework (such as Figure 1 1 in Figure 1 ), and seeds of marine organisms such as corals can be set on the seedling rope net. A light source is provided on the three-dimensional framework (such as Figure 1 3 in Figure 1 ). The light source is an LED light source with a specific wavelength suitable for absorption by marine plants. The light source enables seaweeds to carry out photosynthesis even without natural light, improving the primary productivity of the ocean. A sensor is provided on the three-dimensional framework (such as Figure 1 3 in Figure 1 ), and a monitor is provided (such as Figure 1 3 in Figure 1 ). The sensor is a device for mastering the content of each component of seawater, and the monitor is an underwater camera device for observing the growth status of marine organisms in the three-dimensional framework. A container for slow-release nutrient salts required for seaweed growth is provided on the three-dimensional framework (such as Figure 1 4 in Figure 1 ). The slow-release nutrient salts can be slowly released into the seawater for the growth of seaweeds. A groove for placing marine biological seed sources is provided on the three-dimensional framework (such as Figure 1 5 in Figure 1 ). The groove of the groove-shaped object ( Figure 1 5 in Figure 1 ) contains seed sources of marine plants and basic raw materials required for the growth of marine plants. Pipes for passing air, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and nutrient solution are provided on the three-dimensional framework ( Figure 1 6 in ), so as to artificially regulate the content of nutrient salts, dissolved oxygen, and carbon dioxide in the seawater, provide more raw materials required for the photosynthesis of seaweeds, and make them produce more basic substances (seaweeds). Since all marine animals originate from seaweeds, in this way, an artificial marine biological "factory" can be built.

[0030] The current so-called marine ranches do not artificially transport "extra" nutrient sources such as nitrogen into the seawater, but only rely on the nitrogen and other nutrient sources given by nature (mainly wet deposition, dry deposition of nitrogen, and land-source rivers) in the same amount as in previous years. Therefore, the fish output can only be similar to the "output" in previous years. It is difficult to increase marine organisms and thus improve marine productivity without artificially applying "extra" nitrogen and other nutrient sources "exceeding the quantity of previous years" to the euphotic zone. Only by artificially intervening to obtain "extra" nitrogen and other nutrient sources outside the marine euphotic zone and applying them to the euphotic zone can marine organisms be increased on the basis of the existing marine biological output, thereby improving the productivity of the ocean, producing more fish, and creating a large-scale marine granary.

[0031] Principle and Purpose of Transporting Carbon Dioxide into Seawater: When the nitrogen-to-phosphorus ratio, which is a controlling factor for seaweed growth, meets certain conditions under artificial intervention (increasing or decreasing the supply of nitrogen and phosphorus) (at this time, nitrogen and phosphorus are no longer the controlling factors for seaweed growth), since a large amount of seaweed growth requires a large amount of carbon dioxide in seawater, the shortage of carbon (mainly sourced from carbon dioxide) then becomes the controlling factor for seaweed growth. Because the diffusion rate of carbon dioxide in water is only 1 / 1000 of that in air, the "amount of carbon dioxide" transmitted through the water-air interface exchange cannot meet the demand for seaweed growth. Therefore, at this time, artificially introducing carbon dioxide into seawater becomes the key to increasing the growth of seaweed and thus increasing the "output" of marine organisms and fish in the entire food chain. This is because all marine organisms originate from carbon dioxide, etc., and the carbon content in marine organisms is very high, basically reaching 50%.

[0032] (2) The several objects provided on the three-dimensional framework refer to several objects (such as Figure 2 No. 1 in Figure 2 ) provided on a rope (such as Figure 6 ) that can increase the surface area and cavities, forming a string of objects (such as Figure 2 ), and fixing several strings of objects (such as Figure 2 ) on a seedling rope net (such as Figure 3 No. 1 in Figure 3 ) to form an artificial algae and fish reef with a large surface area (such as Figure 2 No. 2 in Figure 6 ). The objects (such as Figure 2 No. 2 in Figure 6 ) are sprayed or dipped with a bioaffinity material coating, and the bioaffinity material coating is composed of powder of broken shellfish shells (such as powder of oyster shells), cement, fine sand, curing agent, and film-forming materials (such as silica sol, potassium silicate, epoxy resin, acrylate, vinyl acetate). The shapes of the objects (such as Figure 2 No. 2 in Figure 6 ) can be various. The materials for making the objects (such as Figure 2 No. 2 in Figure 6 ) can be inorganic materials (such as ceramic fiber, mineral wool, glass fiber, fiberglass mesh cloth, foamed cement material), organic materials (such as objects formed by plastic injection molding, thermoforming, blow molding, and wire drawing), or natural materials (such as tree branches, bamboo branches, shellfish shells, inorganic material fibers).

[0033] Second, as shown in Figure 4 :

[0034] Figure 4Among them, 1 is a hollow tube, 2 is a container for slow-release nutrients required for seaweed growth, 3 represents a light source or a sensor or a monitor, 4 represents a three-dimensional framework, 5 is a rope connected to a heavy cement block, 6 is a heavy cement block, 7 is a seedling rope net, 8 is a trough, and 9 is a pipe for passing air, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and nutrient solution.

[0035] In the artificial algae and fish reef with a large surface area, the three-dimensional framework is a three-dimensional framework composed of several connectors and several hollow tubes 1. The hollow tube 1 is arranged at the top of the three-dimensional framework. At the bottom of the three-dimensional framework, there is a heavy cement block 6 connected by a rope 5. On the three-dimensional framework, there is a seedling rope net 7. On the three-dimensional framework, there is a light source 3. On the three-dimensional framework, there are sensors 3 and monitors 3. On the three-dimensional framework, there is a container 2 for slow-release nutrients required for seaweed growth. On the three-dimensional framework, there is a trough 8 for placing marine biological species sources. On the three-dimensional framework, there is a pipe 9 for passing air, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and nutrient solution. The entire three-dimensional framework (as Figure 4 shown) can arrange the three-dimensional framework (as Figure 4 shown), including the objects arranged on the three-dimensional framework, at different positions in the sea water under the combined action of the buoyancy generated by the hollow tube and the gravity of the heavy cement block.

[0036] III. As Figure 5 shown:

[0037] Figure 5 Among them, 1 is a three-dimensional framework, and 2 represents a woven fabric of fiber cloth or other materials.

[0038] The several objects arranged on the three-dimensional framework refer to arranging several woven fabrics of fiber cloth or other materials (such as fiberglass mesh cloth, sunshade cloth, sunshade net, rainproof cloth) on the three-dimensional framework 1 to form a large surface area, and coating a biophilic material coating on the fiber cloth or the woven fabric of other materials.

[0039] IV. As Figure 7 , Figure 8 shown:

[0040] Figure 7 Among them, 1 is a floating ball, 2 represents an object with a floating ball, 3 represents a framework equipped with a heavy object, and 4 is a heavy object.

[0041] Figure 8 Among them, 1 is a floating ball, 2 and 3 represent objects with a floating ball, 4 represents a framework equipped with a heavy object, and 5 is a heavy object.

[0042] In the artificial algae and fish reef with a large surface area, the three-dimensional framework is a framework equipped with a heavy object ( Figure 7 4 in Figure 8 5 in Figure 7 3 in Figure 8 4 in Figure 73 in Figure 8 4) in Figure 7 1 in Figure 8 1) in Figure 7 2 in Figure 8 2, 3) in Figure 7 2 in Figure 8 2, 3) are coated with a coating of biophilic material. The objects with floating balls can be made into various shapes with different materials. The floating balls can be objects with various shapes having a density less than 1. A number of objects with floating balls can form an algal fish reef with a large surface area and many channels under the action of the buoyancy of the floating balls. This kind of algal fish reef is similar to the "marine forest" formed by benthic plants and corals.

[0043] Principle: Since the purpose of the artificial algal fish reef is to provide a "home" for marine organisms - the habitat of marine organisms, and this "home" should have as large a biophilic attachment area as possible, as many biophilic, diverse habitats, refuges, caves and channels as possible, and also rich food, and meet the requirement of low construction cost. This is the key technology. The artificial algal fish reef construction technology proposed by the present invention and the marine ranch formed by this artificial algal fish reef can utilize ropes to assist in constructing a low-cost large three-dimensional framework and set habitat facilities on the framework that are beneficial for marine organisms to attach, inhabit, lay eggs, rear young, protect juveniles from danger, and grow. It can create a huge attachment surface area for micro and pico marine organisms living in an attached manner, and can also create various countless caves, cavities, gaps, voids, and channels to provide sufficient habitats, juvenile rearing areas, and habitats for juveniles to avoid danger and grow for marine organisms; the biophilic material coating can attract marine organisms to "settle down", can increase the marine organisms in the entire food web, restore the natural ecological ocean with biodiversity, form a foraging ground for many marine organisms, and even form a new foraging ground and spawning ground for Pacific migratory fish, form a large-scale marine granary, realize the natural cycle of carbon, nitrogen, etc. that can fully meet human needs, naturally increase marine organisms, completely solve the problem of the safe supply of human food sources, and artificially intervene to achieve the permanent natural cycle of natural resources that meets human needs.
