TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of marine fisheries, and particularly relates to a marine ranching carbon sink cultivation device and method. BACKGROUND
[0002] The marine ranching carbon sink cultivation mode is an innovative paradigm that deeply integrates ecological protection and industrial development. Its core lies in relying on an artificially constructed marine three-dimensional ecological system to achieve the synergistic gain of fishery economy and carbon sink function through scientific and systematic cultivation layout. This mode takes large algae (such as kelp, undaria pinnatifida, giant kelp, etc.) as the main force of carbon sink, utilizes its efficient photosynthesis mechanism to convert carbon dioxide in the atmosphere into organic carbon and rapidly accumulates, and at the same time, it is matched with filter-feeding shellfish such as oysters and scallops, which convert phytoplankton and organic carbon in seawater into shell calcium carbonate and soft tissue carbon through biological filter-feeding process. After the death of the organism, the remains sink to the seabed to form long-term carbon storage. It is supplemented by the ecological cultivation of salmon and large yellow croaker, and the excretion and leftover feed of fish can provide nutrients for the growth of algae, forming a closed ecological chain of "algal carbon fixation-behavior transformation-fish symbiosis".
[0003] In recent years, with the rapid development of marine ranching industry, the carbon sink function of China's marine ranching has developed to some extent. However, the carbon sink function of China's marine ranching still faces many challenges, such as high cultivation density, unreasonable cultivation structure, and deterioration of ecological environment. These problems lead to the intensification of the fragmentation of the marine ranching ecosystem and the reduction of the implementation efficiency of the carbon sink function. Therefore, how to optimize the cultivation layout and management measures of the marine ranching and improve the stability and anti-interference ability of the ecological system is an important issue for the development of the marine ranching.
[0004] In order to better develop the marine ranching carbon sink cultivation mode, it is necessary to further improve the corresponding cultivation equipment. For example, the prior art CN 120226632 A proposes a deep-sea self-circulation movable three-dimensional cultivation net cage culture system, which includes a net cage that can float, sink or move in the sea, and includes a cultivation platform, a fish cultivation system, a shellfish cultivation system and an algae cultivation system. The system integrates the fish cultivation system, the shellfish cultivation system and the algae cultivation system together as a new cooperative cultivation mode.
[0005] However, the above cultivation system lacks intelligent monitoring function and cannot monitor the cultivation density and cultivation environment parameters in real time, so it cannot adjust the cultivation scheme according to the actual situation, which has a great impact on the marine ranching carbon sink cultivation mode.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0042] Example 1
[0043] like Figs. 1-2As shown, this invention proposes a marine ranching carbon sink aquaculture device, comprising an upper-layer algae cultivation module, a mid-layer fish cultivation module, a bottom-layer shellfish cultivation module, a seabed carbon deposition auxiliary module, and an intelligent monitoring system. The upper-layer algae cultivation module is used for cultivating large algae, the mid-layer fish cultivation module for cultivating filter-feeding fish, and the bottom-layer shellfish cultivation module for cultivating shellfish. The seabed carbon deposition auxiliary module is used to promote seabed carbon deposition. The intelligent monitoring system is used to monitor the aquaculture environmental parameters of each module in real time.
[0044] The upper algae cultivation module includes a floating flexible cultivation raft 1 and several algae attachment substrates 3 spaced apart below the flexible cultivation raft 1. The flexible cultivation raft 1 is designed to withstand wind and waves and is equipped with several buoys 2. The raft 1 floats through the buoys 2 and can automatically adjust its height according to tidal changes to avoid damage caused by wind and waves.
[0045] The flexible aquaculture raft 1 is a square frame made of high-strength, corrosion-resistant material, with a surface coated with an anti-fouling coating that effectively prevents the attachment of organisms such as barnacles. In this embodiment, the flexible aquaculture raft 1 is made of plastic, and the algae attachment substrate 3 has a mesh structure with its top and opposite sides connected to the flexible aquaculture raft 1. The mesh structure increases the algae attachment area and promotes photosynthetic carbon fixation.
[0046] The flexible aquaculture raft frame 1 of the present invention is made of high-strength corrosion-resistant material and coated with antifouling coating. Combined with the design of float 2, it not only enhances the service life and stability of the raft frame, but also adapts to complex sea conditions, reduces the probability of the device being damaged by harsh environments, and lowers maintenance costs.
[0047] The mid-level fish farming module is located below the algae attachment substrate 3 and includes fish farming cages 4, which are connected to the flexible farming raft 1 via connectors 5. In this embodiment, the connector 5 is a suspension rope. Multiple fish farming cages 4 can be installed, and channels can be provided between adjacent fish farming cages 4. The channels are equipped with valves, which can be electric gates. An appropriate number of fish farming cages 4 can be selected according to the growth of the fish to adjust the fish density, avoid overcrowding, and ensure ecosystem balance.
[0048] The bottom-level shellfish aquaculture module is located below the fish aquaculture cage 4. It includes a seabed anchoring frame 7 and a suspended shellfish aquaculture cage 9. The seabed anchoring frame 7 is installed on the seabed surface 11, and the suspended shellfish aquaculture cage 9 is suspended from the seabed anchoring frame 7 by connecting ropes 8. In this embodiment, the bottom of the seabed anchoring frame 7 is provided with a pointed tip, which is directly inserted into the seabed surface 11 for anchoring, ensuring stability under complex sea conditions. The height of the suspended shellfish aquaculture cage is adjustable to adapt to the growth needs of different shellfish.
[0049] Furthermore, the bottom of the fish farming cage 4 is connected to the seabed fixing frame 7 via a fixing rope 6, improving stability. In this invention, the bottom of the fish farming cage 4 is connected to the seabed fixing frame 7 via a fixing rope 6, and the flexible farming raft frame 1, combined with the buoy 2, forms a stable "floating on top and fixed at the bottom" structure, which can withstand strong ocean currents and typhoons and other severe weather, ensuring the overall stability of the device under complex sea conditions.
[0050] The seabed carbon deposition auxiliary module is set on the seabed plane 11, and includes several artificial reefs 10 surrounding the seabed fixing frame 7. The artificial reefs 10 have a porous, hollow, multi-layered structure. The specific surface area of the artificial reefs 10 is 5-10 square meters per cubic meter, and the material is concrete or basalt, exhibiting good durability and eco-friendliness. In this embodiment, the specific surface area of the artificial reefs 10 is 8 square meters per cubic meter, and the material is basalt. The seabed carbon deposition auxiliary module, employing porous, hollow, multi-layered artificial reefs 10, not only provides habitats for marine life and promotes biodiversity, but also effectively increases the seabed carbon deposition area and enhances carbon sequestration.
[0051] The intelligent monitoring system includes temperature sensors, dissolved oxygen sensors, carbon dioxide concentration sensors, pH sensors, fish activity monitoring devices, a controller, and a monitoring terminal. Temperature sensors, dissolved oxygen sensors, carbon dioxide concentration sensors, and pH sensors are correspondingly installed in the upper algae cultivation module, the middle-layer fish cultivation module, and the bottom shellfish cultivation module. The fish activity monitoring device, which includes a sonar detector, is installed inside the fish cultivation cage 4 and monitors fish density and activity range in real time. The temperature sensors, dissolved oxygen sensors, carbon dioxide concentration sensors, pH sensors, and fish activity monitoring devices are all connected to the controller, which is connected to the monitoring terminal. In addition, the intelligent monitoring system also includes an underwater inspection robot with a camera and an algae monitoring sensor for monitoring algae biomass; both the underwater inspection robot and the algae monitoring sensor are connected to the controller.
[0052] The intelligent monitoring system uses multiple sensors to work together to collect environmental parameters such as temperature, dissolved oxygen, and pH in real time. This enables real-time monitoring and precise control of aquaculture environmental parameters, reducing manual management costs, minimizing aquaculture risks caused by environmental fluctuations, and improving the stability of fishery output.
[0053] The present invention also proposes a method for carbon sequestration aquaculture in marine ranching, which uses the above-mentioned marine ranching carbon sequestration aquaculture device to carry out three-dimensional aquaculture of algae, fish and shellfish, including steps 1-4.
[0054] Step 1: Site Selection. A comprehensive assessment of the marine environmental conditions is conducted to select a suitable aquaculture area. These conditions include water quality, depth, sunlight, and ocean currents. Specifically, shallow water areas with clean water, moderate nitrogen and phosphorus content, a pH between 7.8 and 8.3, and a depth not exceeding 20 meters are selected for algae cultivation. Bottom-dwelling shellfish cultivation areas can extend to depths of up to 50 meters to ensure the needs of different organisms are met. Furthermore, considering the synergistic effect of the marine environment, areas with strong natural carbon sequestration capabilities, such as estuaries and upwelling zones, are selected, or areas are linked to ecological projects such as offshore wind power and coastal wetlands.
[0055] This invention, through precise site selection and stratified layout of aquaculture areas, makes full use of environmental resources in different water layers, improves the utilization rate of marine space, and maximizes output per unit area.
[0056] Step 2, Module Assembly and Deployment: Assemble and deploy the upper algae cultivation module, the middle fish cultivation module, the bottom shellfish cultivation module, and the seabed carbon deposition auxiliary module according to the design plan.
[0057] Step 3, Ecological Regulation: Real-time monitoring of aquaculture environment parameters is obtained through an intelligent monitoring system, and the stocking density and nutrient supply are adjusted according to the growth status of the organisms. When the algae monitoring sensor detects that the algae biomass exceeds 500 g / m³, the controller generates an alarm and sends it to the monitoring terminal, notifying staff to initiate mechanical harvesting or release algae-controlling organisms to prevent excessive algae growth.
[0058] When the pH sensor detects increased acidity in the water, the controller generates an alarm and sends it to the monitoring terminal, notifying staff to deploy a limestone slow-release device through the seabed carbon deposition auxiliary module to adjust the water's pH, neutralize the acidity, and ensure the shellfish's calcification ability.
[0059] At the same time, the stocking density is adjusted based on fish activity monitoring data to maintain the balance of the ecosystem.
[0060] Step 4: Carbon Sequestration Measurement: This step involves calculating carbon sequestration from algal biomass, shellfish calcification, and seabed carbon deposition. Specifically, for algal biomass carbon sequestration, the area of algal blooms is estimated using satellite remote sensing, and algal biomass carbon sequestration is calculated by combining this with on-site sampling and measurement of algal dry weight. For shellfish calcification carbon sequestration, isotope tracing technology is used to label HCO3-, and the amount of shellfish calcification carbon sequestration is measured by combining this with shell growth rate measurements. For seabed carbon deposition, the dynamic changes in the seabed carbon pool are determined through sediment column sampling and carbon isotope analysis.
[0061] This invention employs a variety of advanced technologies for carbon sequestration measurement, enabling scientific accounting of carbon sequestration amounts. This results in accurate and authoritative data, providing a reliable basis for carbon trading and ecological benefit assessment. It also provides a standardized method for the quantitative assessment of carbon sequestration benefits in marine ranches, contributing to the standardized development of the marine carbon sequestration industry and promoting the market-oriented development of marine carbon sequestration resources.
[0062] This invention constructs a complete ecological cycle chain through a layered design consisting of an upper algae cultivation module, a middle-layer fish cultivation module, and a bottom-layer shellfish cultivation module. Fish excrement and uneaten feed provide nutrients for algae growth, while shellfish filter-feed phytoplankton, reducing the risk of eutrophication and effectively improving the marine ecological environment. The modular design allows for flexible combination of the cultivation equipment according to different marine environments and cultivation needs, making it suitable for various types of marine ranches worldwide and improving the system's versatility. Through three-dimensional layered cultivation and ecological chain construction, this invention fully leverages the synergistic effects of algal photosynthetic carbon sequestration, shellfish calcification carbon sequestration, and seabed carbon deposition, significantly enhancing the carbon sequestration capacity of marine ranches. It is estimated that the annual carbon sequestration per hectare can reach hundreds to thousands of tons of CO2 equivalent.

However, the embodiments are not intended to limit the scope of the patent application of the present invention. All equivalent changes or modifications made under the technical spirit of the present invention should fall within the patent scope covered by the present invention.
