[0002] Artificial reefs are a type of artificial underwater equipment that are mainly used to improve the marine ecological environment (artificial reefs provide marine life with a habitat similar to natural reefs. Many marine organisms, such as fish, shellfish, algae, etc., need to attach or hide in the habitat to avoid natural enemies, reproduce and forage), increase fishery resources (artificial reefs can attract and gather fish, provide them with food and habitat, thereby increasing the reproduction rate and survival rate of fish) and protect marine biodiversity.

[0003] At present, artificial reefs are irregular overall structures (generally large stones) with several holes for placing feed to form reefs; when in use, artificial reefs are placed in breeding ponds or breeding areas. However, due to their large size and irregular shape, artificial reefs of this structure cannot be combined with suspended platforms (which can be used to build shelters, place equipment, and assist breeding work).

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0018] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The present invention provides an artificial fish reef, which includes a plurality of connected artificial fish reef units, wherein the plurality of artificial fish reef units 0 together constitute the entire artificial fish reef; adjacent artificial fish reef units are provided with movable gaps 7 and are connected by connecting members 5; the entire artificial fish reef is relatively flexible (the size of the movable gaps between the artificial fish reef units 0 will be adjusted in real time due to external forces) to reduce its own strength, so that the entire artificial fish reef with a multi-section structure is not easily deformed or damaged after being impacted by water flow.

[0019] Each artificial fish reef unit includes a fish reef unit body 1 formed by multiple sides and forming a channel inside, and its side wall is a multi-layer structure with filling gaps 12 arranged between adjacent ones; the side wall of the fish reef unit body 1 is provided with an opening 2. When in use, when placing the artificial fish reef in a breeding pond or an inland breeding area, it is necessary to fill the filling gap 12 with a weight material (such as concrete, gravel, etc.) to ensure that the artificial fish reef has a sufficient sinking effect. Of course, if the artificial fish reef itself is made of a material with sufficient weight such as metal or ceramic, the filling gap may not be filled. Subsequently, feed or other attractants for attracting marine life are placed in the fish reef unit body 1 (just adhere to the inner wall), and the marine life can enter the channel inside the fish reef unit body 1 through the opening 2.

[0020] In this embodiment, the fish reef unit body 1 is formed by a plurality of sub-units 11 (the shapes and structures of the plurality of sub-units 11 are consistent and only differ in diameter) connected inside and outside, and a filling gap 12 is formed between the adjacent sub-units 11 inside and outside.

[0021] The fish reef unit body 1 is provided with a space communication port 3 at the end thereof for connecting the internal passages of the adjacent fish reef unit bodies 1 after assembly. Through the space communication port 3, marine organisms can move in the passage of the artificial fish reef unit 0, thereby increasing the activity space of marine organisms in the artificial fish reef. The number and size of the space communication ports 3 of each fish reef unit body 1 can be set as required, and can be one, two or even more. In the present embodiment, the fish reef unit body 1 is a cylindrical structure with two groups of space communication ports 3 arranged relatively to each other, and the structure is arranged to facilitate processing to a certain extent.

[0022] After being connected, a plurality of artificial fish reef units 0 form a long strip of artificial fish reef structure, which is placed longitudinally in the breeding area when in use, and its ends are connected to the floating platform 01.

[0023] On the basis of the above structure, the connecting member 5 connects the ends of the space communication openings 3 of the adjacent fish reef unit bodies 1; the connection range of the connecting member 5 covers the space communication openings 3, specifically, the range covered by the connecting member 5 covers the space communication openings 3 inside thereof.

[0024] In the first embodiment, the connecting member 5 may be a flexible soft sleeve structure (also a cylindrical structure), and the ends of the soft sleeve structure are respectively connected to the ends of the space communication openings 3 of the artificial reef units 0 at adjacent positions.

[0025] In this embodiment, a plurality of connectors 5 are arranged on the side wall of the space communication opening 3, and the plurality of connectors 5 are arranged around the space communication opening 3 in an evenly spaced manner; a connection hole 6 is opened on the side wall of the space communication opening 3; both ends of each connector 5 are respectively connected to the connection holes 6 on the side wall of the space communication opening 3 corresponding to the adjacent artificial reef unit, and the connector 5 connects the fish reef unit bodies 1 at adjacent positions. As shown in the figure, the connector 5 is a ring-shaped structure, and of course, the connector 5 can also adopt other structures.

[0026] Preferably, the side wall and inner wall of the fish reef unit body 1 are provided with a texture structure that increases friction to facilitate the adsorption of marine organisms, and the texture structure reduces the smoothness of the side wall of the fish reef unit body 1 to facilitate the adsorption effect of marine organisms (such as shellfish). Specifically in this embodiment, the texture structure is a plurality of annular protrusions 4 that are perpendicular to the axis of the fish reef unit body 1 and are evenly spaced along the axis.

[0027] Of course, the present invention may have many other embodiments. Without departing from the spirit and essence of the present invention, those skilled in the art may make various corresponding changes and modifications based on the present invention, but these corresponding changes and modifications should all fall within the scope of protection of the claims attached to the present invention.
