[0020] The pond floating aquaculture system includes an aquaculture component 1 and a lift 2.

[0021] Example 1: The aquaculture component 1 includes an aquaculture pond 18; a drain pipe 19 is connected to the bottom of the aquaculture pond 18; multiple water passage holes 20 are provided on the pond walls on both sides of the aquaculture pond 18; isolation nets 21 are installed in the water passage holes on the inner wall of the aquaculture pond 18. A ring of isolation fence 22 is provided along the upper edge of the aquaculture pond 18 (see the attached instruction manual). Figure 1 , 2 and 3).

[0022] During operation, fish are raised inside the breeding pond 18; the breeding pond 18 can exchange water with the pond through the water passage 20 to form a connection, making the water in the breeding pond more nutritious; maintaining the balance of water inside and outside the pond, without increasing the burden on the floats, and the isolation fence 22 and isolation net 21 can isolate fish to prevent them from escaping.

[0023] The sewage pipe 19 at the bottom of the aquaculture pond 18 is connected to the backwash water treatment device installed on the shore; fish feces and uneaten feed that fall into the bottom of the aquaculture pond 18 during operation can be discharged through the sewage pipe 19.

[0024] The sewage pipe 19 at the bottom of the aquaculture pond 18 is connected to a solid-liquid separation device (patent number 201721370798.4) installed on the shore. When in operation, the uneaten feed and fish feces that fall into the bottom of the aquaculture pond 18 are filtered and separated by the device, and the water returns to the pond. The residue can be retained on the shore to be made into bio-fertilizer.

[0025] Example 2: The aquaculture component 1 includes a net cage 23; the bottom of the net cage 23 is equipped with a waste collection bag 24 made of a stain-resistant material (such as PTFE); the bottom of the waste collection bag 24 is connected to a sewage pipe 25.

[0026] The sewage pipe 25 is connected to a solid-liquid separation device (patent number 201721370798.4) installed on the shore. When in operation, the uneaten food and fish feces that fall into the bottom of the waste collection bag 24 are filtered and separated by it, and the water returns to the pond. The residue can be retained on the shore to be made into bio-fertilizer.

[0027] As a variation of the net cage 23, a ring of air-blocking bladders 28 is provided along the upper edge of the net cage 23. When extruded feed is fed into the net cage 23, the air-blocking bladders 28 can be opened by an external air pump; in this way, the air-blocking bladders 28 can confine the floating fish feed inside the net cage 23, thereby preventing the extruded feed from scattering. After the fish feed is digested, the gas inside the air-blocking bladders 28 is released, restoring the flow of surface water.

[0028] The waste collection bag is equipped with a water pump 26 (see instruction manual). Figure 13The pump 26 includes a spiral-shaped water-pushing and waste-collecting pipe 27 and a nozzle (not shown in the attached diagram). When the pump 26 is working, it can input water into the water-pushing and waste-collecting pipe 27 and finally spray it out from the nozzle; the sprayed water will push the waste in the waste collection bag 24 towards the sewage pipe 25 and finally discharge it.

[0029] The net cage 23 and the aquaculture pond 18 can be fixed to the shore by cables. The aquaculture assembly 1 is externally equipped with a lifting device 2 (see the instruction manual appendix). Figure 1 and 4 ).

[0030] The external surface of the aquaculture component 1 is equipped with multiple mounting blocks 7 (see the instruction manual appendix). Figure 7 and 8 The middle vertical float 3, the end vertical float 4, and the front vertical float 5 are connected to the aquaculture component 1 via the mounting block 7.

[0031] The lifting device 2 includes a middle vertical float 3, an end vertical float 4, a front vertical float 5, and a flexible connecting pipe 6 (see the instruction manual appendix). Figure 9 and 10 ).

[0032] The vertical float 5 at the bow includes a vertical float body A8; a series hole 9 is provided on one side of the vertical float body A8. The drainage assembly includes a drainage pump 10 and a drainage pipe 11; the drainage pump 10 is installed at the bottom inside the vertical float body A8; the output end of the drainage pump 10 is connected to the drainage pipe 11; the upper end of the drainage pipe 11 extends to the upper end of the vertical float body A8 and then extends to the outside.

[0033] When the drainage pump 10 is working, it can discharge the water inside the vertical float body A8 through the drainage pipe 11.

[0034] The water conveyance assembly includes a water pump 12 and an inlet pipe 13; the water pump 12 is mounted on the bottom of the vertical float body A8; the output end of the water pump 12 is connected to the inlet pipe 13; the upper end of the inlet pipe 13 extends to the top of the vertical float body A8 and communicates with its interior. When the water pump 12 is working, it can input water from the pond into the interior of the vertical float body A8 through the inlet pipe 13.

[0035] The intermediate vertical float 3 includes a vertical float body B14; the two sides of the vertical float body B14 are provided with series holes 9.

[0036] The end vertical float 4 includes a vertical float body C15; a series hole 9 is provided on one side of the vertical float body C15.

[0037] One end of the vertical float 5 is connected to one or more intermediate vertical floats 3 via a flexible connecting pipe 6, and then connected to the end vertical float 4; the vertical float 5 at the head end is equipped with a drainage component and a water conveyance component.

[0038] Ventilation holes 16 are provided on the top of the vertical pontoon body A8, vertical pontoon body B14 and vertical pontoon body C15; and a "C"-shaped snap-fit ​​assembly 17 is provided on one side of each of the vertical pontoon body A8, vertical pontoon body B14 and vertical pontoon body C15.

[0039] The vertical pontoon body A8 and the vertical pontoon body B14 are interconnected via flexible connecting pipes 6; the vertical pontoon body B14 is interconnected via flexible connecting pipes 6; the vertical pontoon body B14 and the vertical pontoon body C15 are interconnected via flexible connecting pipes 6 (see the appendix to the instruction manual). Figure 1 , 2 and 3).

[0040] After the vertical pontoon bodies A8, B14, and C15 are interconnected via the flexible connecting pipe 6, a communicating vessel will be formed between them, allowing water to flow between them.

[0041] When the floating aquaculture system is in operation, the lifting device 2 can adjust the buoyancy of the vertical float body by water supply and drainage, thereby adjusting the raising and lowering of the floating aquaculture pond 18 or net cage. It is particularly suitable for adjusting the depth required for fish farming at different water levels, and can flexibly raise or lower the aquaculture pond or net cage. It enables the raising of aquaculture boxes or net cages at any time. After the fish are exposed to the water, they can be easily sucked ashore or loaded onto trucks by a fish suction pump. There is no need to drain the pond water or use nets to catch fish, which greatly reduces the fishing cost and does not harm the fish, ensuring that live and fresh fish safely reach the consumer market.
