Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of aquaculture technology, specifically to a method for three-crop-aquaculture of freshwater shrimp that integrates flexible photovoltaics and temperature-controlled greenhouses. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, freshwater shrimp farming mainly relies on traditional open-air pond methods. Its production process is highly dependent on natural climate conditions, and the farming cycle is closely related to environmental factors such as water temperature and light. This method has the following significant drawbacks:
[0003] First, existing aquaculture methods cannot effectively regulate water temperature, resulting in significant seasonal limitations on the growth cycle of freshwater shrimp. In East China and the Yangtze River basin, conventional aquaculture is usually limited to a single or double season (spring or autumn). Although spring aquaculture allows stocking from January to March, the early low water temperature slows shrimp growth, delaying market entry until after June, missing out on peak market prices and severely impacting economic benefits. Autumn aquaculture (June to August) coincides with the high-temperature period, where excessively high water temperatures increase stress on shrimp larvae, drastically reducing survival rates and significantly raising the risk of disease, further restricting yield and profitability.
[0004] Secondly, traditional pond aquaculture lacks the ability to actively regulate light and water temperature, making it difficult to achieve continuous production throughout the year. Prawns are poikilothermic animals, requiring suitable water temperatures for feeding, molting, and growth. Under natural conditions, both low winter temperatures and high summer temperatures can cause stunted growth or even death in prawns, making the efficient farming of prawns in three harvests a year technically impossible.
[0005] Although the integrated fish-solar model improves land resource utilization efficiency and generates electricity revenue to some extent by installing photovoltaic panel arrays on the water surface, the shading effect of the photovoltaic modules leads to uneven lighting in the pond and exacerbates water temperature stratification, further disrupting the natural growth rhythm of freshwater shrimp. Without suitable temperature control facilities and refined environmental management strategies, the ordinary integrated fish-solar model still cannot overcome the negative impact of seasonal temperature fluctuations, and cannot create a stable and suitable year-round growth environment for freshwater shrimp. Therefore, it also cannot achieve high-density, off-season, and multi-crop continuous farming of freshwater shrimp.
[0006] Therefore, in existing technologies, whether it is traditional pond aquaculture or conventional integrated aquaculture and solar power, the seasonal bottleneck of freshwater shrimp farming cannot be broken due to problems such as uncontrollable water temperature, extensive light management, and prominent environmental stress factors, which restricts the further improvement of freshwater shrimp production and farming efficiency. Summary of the Invention
[0007] In view of this, the purpose of this application is to provide a method for three-crop-a-year aquaculture of freshwater shrimp that integrates flexible photovoltaics and temperature-controlled greenhouses. This method uses a flexible photovoltaic + temperature-controlled greenhouse integrated aquaculture system to achieve efficient aquaculture of freshwater shrimp three times a year. That is, based on traditional pond aquaculture, steel-framed temperature-controlled greenhouse facilities are constructed using the pillars of flexible photovoltaic supports, which solves the problems of late market availability and low prices of freshwater shrimp in spring and low survival rate and insignificant efficiency improvement of freshwater shrimp in autumn in Jiangsu Province.
[0008] To achieve, or at least partially achieve, the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution:
[0009] A method for integrated solar-aquaculture of freshwater shrimp, incorporating flexible photovoltaic panels and a temperature-controlled greenhouse, includes the following steps:
[0010] (1) Construct a flexible photovoltaic + temperature-controlled greenhouse integrated aquaculture system; which includes a photovoltaic power generation system, a temperature-controlled greenhouse, a temperature control system, and a shrimp pond;
[0011] (2) Seedling release: The release is divided into the first season of freshwater shrimp, the second season of freshwater shrimp, and the third season of freshwater shrimp. The release time for the first season of freshwater shrimp is from January to February each year, the release time for the second season of freshwater shrimp is from May to June each year, and the release time for the third season of freshwater shrimp is from September to October.
[0012] (3) Water temperature control in shrimp ponds: Fertilize the shrimp ponds, maintain the water level, and control the water temperature in the shrimp ponds.
[0013] (4) Feeding: After each season of freshwater shrimp are released, feed the freshwater shrimp pellets along the banks of the shrimp pond.
[0014] (5) Freshwater shrimp fishing: The fishing time for the first season of freshwater shrimp is from early April to mid-May, the fishing time for the second season of freshwater shrimp is from early July to early September, and the fishing time for the third season of freshwater shrimp is from early December to mid-January.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has at least the following beneficial effects:
[0016] 1. This application has upgraded the traditional single-season or double-season shrimp farming model in ponds by using steel-framed film greenhouses to increase the farming of early spring freshwater shrimp and freshwater shrimp during high-temperature periods, giving full play to the growth advantages of freshwater shrimp, and with the addition of temperature control facilities, it has achieved a "three early and one good" high-efficiency freshwater shrimp farming model of "early stocking, early temperature control, early market launch, and good feed".
[0017] 2. The technical solution proposed in this application can significantly improve the efficiency of freshwater shrimp farming. By using technologies such as precise feed feeding, refined water temperature control, and targeted harvesting of larger shrimp while leaving smaller ones, it solves the problems of traditional freshwater shrimp farming methods, such as only one or two harvests per year, late stocking of shrimp fry, concentrated market entry, and insignificant efficiency gains. It achieves the effect of intensive farming with a yield of more than 100 kg of freshwater shrimp per mu per year for three harvests. Attached Figure Description

[0027] To address the problems of low price, low survival rate, low yield, extensive farming management, and environmental stress in traditional pond-based shrimp farming, the inventors of this application have developed a novel flexible photovoltaic + temperature-controlled greenhouse shrimp farming system under the existing aquaculture-solar integrated model. This system can achieve efficient farming of shrimp in three harvests per year: the first season (spring shrimp), the second season (summer shrimp), and the third season (autumn shrimp).
[0028] Based on this, the embodiments of this application provide a method for integrated solar-aquaculture of freshwater shrimp that includes flexible photovoltaics and a temperature-controlled greenhouse, specifically including the following steps:
[0029] (1) Construct a flexible photovoltaic + temperature-controlled greenhouse integrated aquaculture system; which includes a photovoltaic power generation system, a temperature-controlled greenhouse, a temperature control system, and a shrimp pond;
[0030] (2) Seedling release: The release is divided into the first season of freshwater shrimp, the second season of freshwater shrimp, and the third season of freshwater shrimp. The release time for the first season of freshwater shrimp is from January to February each year, the release time for the second season of freshwater shrimp is from May to June each year, and the release time for the third season of freshwater shrimp is from September to October.
[0031] (3) Water temperature control in shrimp ponds: Fertilize the shrimp ponds, maintain the water level, and control the water temperature in the shrimp ponds.
[0032] (4) Feeding: After each season of shrimp stocking, feed the shrimp pellets along the banks of the shrimp pond.
[0033] (5) Freshwater shrimp fishing: The fishing time for the first season of freshwater shrimp is from early April to mid-May, the fishing time for the second season of freshwater shrimp is from early July to early September, and the fishing time for the third season of freshwater shrimp is from early December to mid-January.
[0034] In some embodiments, in step (1), the photovoltaic power generation system includes a flexible support photovoltaic panel with a span of 20.0 to 45.0 meters, and the lower edge of the photovoltaic panel is ≥5.5 meters above the water level of the shrimp pond, and the average water depth of the shrimp pond is ≥1.2 meters; the main body of the temperature control greenhouse is a large-span arched steel frame structure located under the flexible photovoltaic panel. Figures 1-2 The image shows a flexible photovoltaic + facility-based temperature-controlled greenhouse shrimp pond integrated aquaculture system constructed according to an embodiment of this application.
[0035] In some embodiments, in step (1), the temperature control system includes a water source heat pump, which can be used to regulate the water temperature of the shrimp pond. For example, when the water temperature is low in winter, the water source heat pump can convert the electrical energy obtained by the photovoltaic power generation system into heat energy to raise the water temperature. When the water temperature is too high in summer, the water source heat pump and groundwater are used to cool the water in the shrimp pond. The water source heat pump can achieve ecological temperature control of the aquaculture water in the steel frame greenhouse, providing a stable water temperature environment for shrimp farming.
[0036] In some preferred embodiments, in step (2), before the seedling release, *Elodea nuttallii* is planted in the shrimp pond, including the following steps: cutting *Elodea nuttallii* seedlings into 15-20 cm long segments, tying 5-8 segments into bundles, and planting them at a spacing of 50×50 cm. The dense stems and leaves of *Elodea nuttallii* provide perfect hiding places for freshwater shrimp. When freshwater shrimp are molting, their bodies are soft and defenseless, making them extremely vulnerable to attack by their own kind or other organisms. *Elodea nuttallii* provides a safe molting space for freshwater shrimp, greatly reducing the mortality rate and thus improving the survival rate.
[0037] In some preferred embodiments, in step (2), the stocking size of the first season prawns is 600-800 prawns / kg, and the stocking quantity is 10-15kg; the stocking size of the second season prawns is 7000-8000 prawns / kg, and the stocking quantity is 5-8kg; the stocking size of the third season prawns is 700-800 prawns / kg, and the stocking quantity is 10-15kg.
[0038] In some embodiments, step (3) includes fertilizing the water with amino acid fertilizer paste and fermented organic fertilizer after the first season of shrimp is released.
[0039] In some preferred embodiments, in step (3), the amount of fertilizer paste used is 2 kg / mu, and the amount of fermented organic fertilizer used is 80-120 kg / mu; in addition, EM bacteria and Chlorella seeds are supplemented every 10-15 days, with the EM bacteria concentration ≥10. 6 CFU / mL, dosage 2L / acre, Chlorella species concentration ≥10 7 The dosage is 1 L / mu (approximately 0.067 hectares) at a concentration of CFU / mL. This fertilization process helps maintain the balance of bacteria and algae in shrimp ponds, accelerates the cycling of matter and energy, and preserves the fertility of the water.
[0040] In some preferred embodiments, in step (4), the particle size of the shrimp pellet feed is 1.0 to 1.4 mm.
[0041] In some preferred embodiments, in step (4), the feeding time and protein content requirements for the shrimp pellet feed are as follows:
[0042] The protein content of the feed given from January to May is 42% to 46%, the protein content of the feed given from June to August is 36% to 38%, and the protein content of the feed given from September to November is 40% to 42%.
[0043] The purpose of feeding pelleted feed is to ensure that the freshwater shrimp can obtain sufficient nutrition and accelerate growth in all three seasons. Therefore, no specific limit is made on the feeding frequency and amount of pelleted feed, but the real-time needs of the freshwater shrimp in the shrimp pond shall be met.
[0044] In some embodiments, in step (5), the catch standard for shrimp in each season is any one of the following:
[0045] (3) Body length ≥ 4.5 cm / tail;
[0046] (4) Body weight ≥3.5g / tail.
[0047] Harvesting standards can be specifically formulated based on market sales standards. Large shrimp that meet the standards are harvested and sold, while small shrimp that do not meet the standards continue to be raised in the original pond until they meet the standards.
[0048] The technical solution of this application and the technical effects achieved will be described in detail below through more specific embodiments.
