Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of deep sea aquaculture, and in particular to an assembled stably sinking and floating deep sea aquaculture cage and a use method thereof. Background Art

[0002] The frame and net of traditional plastic deep-sea aquaculture cages do not form a whole, and lack support carriers for intelligent installation, Internet of Things, and dissolved oxygen supplementation; the aquaculture model is single, the management is extensive, and the operation and maintenance costs are high, which restricts the development of the deep-sea aquaculture industry. Due to the inherent defects of the cage structure, the depth of the aquaculture net is limited to more than 7 meters, and the utilization rate of the aquaculture space and the aquaculture density are extremely low. The cost of cleaning and collecting fish for a single cage net is as high as tens of thousands of yuan per year, which also increases the mortality rate of aquaculture organisms. During the sinking and floating process of the snorkeling cage, there is a situation where the stability of the buoyancy and gravity offset each other and returns to zero, which has become a technical bottleneck in the research and development of sinking and floating cages.

[0003] Secondly, due to the inherent material and structural technical factors, plastic aquaculture cages have too many limitations in terms of wind and wave resistance, stability, three-dimensional ecological aquaculture, and leisure functions in deep sea areas. For example, when cleaning the net, it is generally necessary to lift the buoyancy tube of the cage together with the net out of the water, and then clean it manually; when collecting fish, relying on manual trawling will not only hurt the fish and kill them, but also be time-consuming and laborious. In fact, the existing plastic aquaculture cages have not been updated for many years, and there is basically no technical data to support them. Moreover, the use of products of the same material and structure in the north and south is extremely disrespectful to science. Some businesses have even made false propaganda, exaggerating the service life and wind and wave resistance, causing huge losses to aquaculture companies in the south and serious idleness of aquaculture cages in the north.
