Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of aquaculture engineering technology, and in particular to a gravity-based three-dimensional polyculture system for fish, shellfish and algae based on intelligent monitoring and its control method. Background Technology
[0002] Aquaculture mainly comprises three mainstream technical models: pond culture, cage culture, and raft culture. In addition, there are recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) and other industrialized aquaculture methods. Pond culture involves constructing artificial ponds on land or along the coast to centrally raise fish, shrimp, and other aquatic products, offering advantages such as lower costs and easier management. Cage culture utilizes fixed or floating cages in lakes, reservoirs, and nearshore waters to cultivate economically important fish species. It is divided into single-layer cages and deep-water cages, effectively utilizing natural water resources. Raft culture is primarily used for shellfish and algae cultivation, relying on floating rafts to suspend cultivation ropes or cages for the integrated cultivation of oysters, mussels, kelp, and other species. Recirculating aquaculture systems, as an industrialized aquaculture method, rely on water treatment facilities to achieve water recycling, improving resource utilization. In recent years, multi-trophic level integrated aquaculture technology has gradually developed, combining farmed fish, filter-feeding shellfish, and large algae for mixed cultivation, promoting the recycling of materials within the aquaculture system. Simultaneously, modern aquaculture equipment is constantly being upgraded, widely adopting new materials such as HDPE floats and wave-resistant cage frames, and is equipped with intelligent equipment such as water quality monitoring and automatic feeding systems to improve the precision and automation of aquaculture.
[0003] Currently, aquaculture mainly relies on pond culture, cage culture, and raft culture. While multi-trophic level integrated aquaculture technology is gradually being applied, existing equipment and models still have significant shortcomings: traditional monoculture models have low nutrient utilization rates, and uneaten feed and excrement easily lead to water quality deterioration; ordinary aquaculture cages lack a three-dimensional, layered layout, resulting in low space utilization; frame structures mostly use ordinary pipes, which are insufficient in terms of wind and wave resistance and corrosion resistance, leading to poor stability; environmental monitoring relies on manual sampling, making it impossible to obtain key parameters such as dissolved oxygen, pH, ammonia nitrogen, water temperature, and flow rate in real time, resulting in delayed regulation; shellfish and algae culture lacks a scientific layout, leading to low material cycling efficiency; and existing equipment has a low degree of modularity, making deployment, expansion, and maintenance inconvenient, and failing to meet the needs of large-scale, ecological, and intelligent aquaculture.
[0004] Furthermore, according to the announcement number CN119278890A, a gravity aquaculture cage, although it adopts a modular design, does not combine the wind and wave resistance characteristics of HDPE pipes with the ecological cycle of multi-trophic level mixed culture, and does not optimize the layout for shallow, high-turbidity sea areas; and the shellfish-algae mixed culture device with announcement number CN209546536U does not integrate an intelligent monitoring module and cannot dynamically control the ratio of algae to shellfish; and the multifunctional deep-water cage system with announcement number CN107182879B uses floating anchor chains, which have weak wind and wave resistance and are easily affected by ocean currents and displacement.
[0005] In view of the above problems, it is of great significance to develop a fish, shellfish and algae polyculture system with stable structure, three-dimensional stratification, intelligent monitoring and efficient circulation for improving the ecological and economic benefits of aquaculture. In view of this, we propose a gravity-type fish, shellfish and algae three-dimensional polyculture system and regulation method based on intelligent monitoring. Summary of the Invention

Three-dimensional cultivation and stocking: stocking fish in the netting of the polyculture system, and oyster cages on both sides of the netting of the polyculture system can be used for oyster cultivation. Large algae can be cultivated at the bottom inside the netting of the polyculture system. The residual bait and excrement from artificial feeding of fish provide organic nutrients for algae and shellfish, forming a three-dimensional spatial layout with fish in the middle, shellfish hanging on the surrounding cage frames, and bottom sowing at the bottom layer. The residual bait and excrement of fish are filtered and transformed by the surrounding shellfish, and the metabolites of fish provide nutrients for algae.

[0018] The present invention provides a gravity-type fish, shellfish and algae three-dimensional polyculture system and a regulation method based on intelligent monitoring. Compared with the prior art, the following beneficial effects are achieved: 1. The present invention realizes the three-dimensional stratified polyculture of fish, shellfish and algae through the netting of the polyculture system, constructs a complete trophic cascade relationship. The residual bait and excrement of fish are filtered and utilized by the middle-layer shellfish, and the metabolites of shellfish promote the growth of bottom-layer algae. The photosynthesis of algae increases the oxygen content in the system and absorbs eutrophic salts, forming a closed-loop and efficient ecological cycle. Cooperating with the dissolved oxygen sensor, current meter and multi-dimensional water quality sensors for collaborative monitoring, the aquaculture density of each layer can be accurately regulated, the material conversion efficiency of the system is increased by more than 30%, the bait input is reduced by 25% compared with the traditional single-culture mode. At the same time, relying on the synergistic effect of algae carbon fixation and shellfish filtration, the ammonia nitrogen content and turbidity of the water body are significantly reduced, realizing an eco-friendly and efficient aquaculture; 2. The present invention adopts a gravity-type HDPE frame structure and a "mesh" - shaped flexible connection design, in combination with HDPE reinforcement connectors and a shackle cable anchoring system, which greatly enhances the overall structural strength and the ability to resist wind and waves. It can operate stably in waters with a flow rate of 2 m / s. The system adopts a modular design. Through the floating raft connector 1 and the connecting guide rod, multiple modules can be quickly spliced and expanded. A single module can be flexibly combined into a large-scale aquaculture area, and the deployment efficiency is increased by 50%. During maintenance, only local disassembly is required, which greatly reduces the operation cost. At the same time, it is equipped with a buoyancy platform structure. A stable operation platform is formed through tubular floating rafts, column-shaped connectors and a landing board, further enhancing the overall buoyancy of the system and the operation safety; 3. The present invention integrates an underwater camera, a hierarchical dissolved oxygen sensor, a pH sensor, a water temperature sensor, an ammonia nitrogen sensor and a four-corner flow velocity meter to form a full-dimensional intelligent monitoring network, which can real-time feedback biological behavior, water quality parameters and hydrodynamic environment. The data can be used for automatic abnormal warning (such as insufficient dissolved oxygen, sudden change in flow rate), guiding the dynamic adjustment of aquaculture density, feeding amount and frame position, so that the aquaculture survival rate is increased by more than 20%. The detachable design of the oyster cage combined with camera monitoring can achieve accurate harvesting, reducing biological damage. The buoyancy platform structure realizes precise docking with the HDPE frame through plate-shaped connectors and mounting holes. The floating raft connector 2 realizes the series connection of multiple floating bodies, enhancing the integrity and operation convenience of the platform, and meeting the high-efficiency operation requirements of the whole process such as aquaculture, inspection and harvesting; 4. Innovate a three-dimensional, ecological and circular aquaculture system for fish, shellfish and algae. Based on the technical principles of three-dimensional stratification, nutritional complementarity and closed-loop circulation, a three-dimensional ecological system of symbiotic algae, shellfish, fish and benthic organisms is constructed: Algae purify water quality, release oxygen and provide bait; Filter-feeding shellfish mainly triploid oysters further purify the water body and create a good environment for fish; Fish and benthic organisms realize the multi-level utilization of nutrients such as residual bait and excrement, while inhibiting harmful attached organisms and improving the comprehensive output. Through key technologies such as intelligent water quality monitoring and precise environmental control, the project effectively solves problems such as the growth stagnation and difficult summer survival of triploid oysters, increasing their survival rate by 40% and improving their meat quality and fatness by 20%. It realizes efficient resource utilization, environmental friendliness, biodiversity and high-quality products, and promotes the transformation of traditional aquaculture to an ecological circular marine ranch.

[0038] A regulation method for a gravity-type fish, shellfish and algae three-dimensional polyculture system based on intelligent monitoring includes the following steps: S1.

The plate-shaped floating raft 35 is fixed, and the plate-shaped floating raft 35 is fixed to the top of the HDPE reinforcement connector 33 through the first floating raft connector 36.

The residual bait and excrement of the fishes are filtered and transformed by the surrounding shellfish. The metabolites of the fishes provide nutrient salts for the algae.

S4. System maintenance and harvesting: Maintain the stability of the frame by using the chicken heart ring cable 34, clean the attached materials of the mixed culture system net 1, and harvest in stages according to the order of algae, shellfish and fish to maintain the balance of material circulation in the system. Example
[0039] During the system assembly phase, the horizontal HDPE pipes 31 and vertical HDPE pipes 32 are flexibly connected using HDPE reinforcing connectors 33 to form a U-shaped gravity-type modular HDPE frame structure 3. HDPE reinforcing connectors 33 are added at the frame nodes to enhance structural strength. One end of the loop cable 34 is hung on either the horizontal HDPE pipe 31 or the vertical HDPE pipe 32 to form a gravity anchoring structure. The plate-shaped raft 35 is fixed to the upper part of the HDPE reinforcing connector 33, and then connected via the raft connector 3. 6 and connecting guide rod 37 connect multiple frame modules in series to achieve large-scale rapid splicing. Plate-shaped rafts 43 are fitted on the outside of the horizontal HDPE pipe 31 through the insertion hole 44 to complete the buoyancy balance arrangement of the system. The stop plate 51 is fixedly connected to the tubular rafts 53 through the column connector 52. Multiple sets of tubular rafts 53 are connected in series through the raft connector 54 to form a buoyancy platform structure 5. Then, the buoyancy platform structure 5 is firmly connected to the gravity modular HDPE frame structure 3 through the plate connector 55 and the mounting hole 56. The mixed culture setup component 2 is assembled inside the mixed culture system net 1. Dissolved oxygen sensor 21, pH sensor 23, water temperature sensor 24, and ammonia nitrogen sensor 25 are arranged in layers on the top, middle, and bottom of the inner side of the mixed culture system net 1. Flow meter 26 is installed at the four corners of the bottom of the mixed culture system net 1. Two sets of integrated underwater cameras 22 are installed on the top and bottom of the inner side of the mixed culture system net 1 to form a full-dimensional intelligent monitoring network. The aquaculture structure 4 is assembled on the upper part of the gravity modular HDPE frame structure 3. The horizontal HDPE hanging rod 41 is fixed above the horizontal HDPE pipe 31, and the vertical HDPE hanging rod 42 is tied to the upper part of the vertical HDPE pipe 32 by a cable. The binding rope 45 is sleeved on the surface of the horizontal HDPE hanging rod 41 and the vertical HDPE hanging rod 42. The oyster cage 46 is fixedly connected to the binding rope 45 to complete the assembly of the shellfish aquaculture unit. During the aquaculture and stocking stage, high-quality marine fish such as yellowfin seabream and mackerel are cultured in the netted water area of the polyculture system, along with benthic organisms such as sea cucumbers and sea urchins. This provides shellfish with microalgae that are converted from uneaten food, excrement, and organic debris, achieving multi-level utilization of nutrients. At the same time, the fish prey on plankton in the water to remove or reduce the number of barnacles and snails in the sea area, providing sufficient nutrients for oysters and improving the overall output of the sea area. Oysters are cultured in oyster cages 46, with triploid oysters as the main species, along with filter-feeding shellfish such as oysters and scallops. These filter-feed on planktonic algae and organic particles, purifying the water, reducing the risk of eutrophication, creating a healthy aquatic environment for fish, reducing the occurrence of diseases, and forming a three-dimensional, ecological, and circular aquaculture system of fish, shellfish, and algae. Based on the principles of water spatial stratification, complementary ecological niches, and material recycling, a three-dimensional ecosystem of symbiotic coexistence among algae, shellfish, fish, and benthic organisms is constructed. Algae layer (ecological purification): Large algae use nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus in the water to grow, release oxygen, purify water quality, provide a natural food base for shellfish, and form an ecological "purifier" and "oxygenator". Shellfish layer (oyster core): mainly composed of triploid oysters, supplemented by filter-feeding shellfish such as oysters and scallops, which filter planktonic algae and organic particles, purify the water, reduce the risk of eutrophication, create a healthy aquatic environment for fish, and reduce the occurrence of diseases; Fish and Benthic Biosphere (Resource Cycling): High-quality marine fish such as yellowfin seabream and mackerel are farmed, along with benthic organisms such as sea cucumbers and sea urchins. This provides shellfish with microalgae that are converted from leftover feed, excrement, and organic debris, achieving multi-level utilization of nutrients. At the same time, the fish prey on plankton in the water to remove or reduce outbreaks of barnacles and snails in the sea area, providing sufficient nutrients for oysters and improving the overall output of the sea area. Fish are artificially fed with leftover food and excrement, which provides organic nutrients for algae and shellfish. This creates a three-dimensional spatial layout with fish in the middle, shellfish hanging on cages around the perimeter, and bottom seeding at the bottom. Fish leftover food and excrement are filtered and transformed by the surrounding shellfish, and fish metabolites provide nutrients for algae. Algae release dissolved oxygen and absorb nutrients such as ammonia nitrogen and phosphate from the water through photosynthesis, completing a closed-loop material cycle of fish, shellfish and algae, and achieving water self-purification and ecological balance. During the intelligent control phase, the flow velocity of the water body is monitored in real time by the flow meter 26. When the flow velocity exceeds 2m / s, the frame position is adjusted to optimize the flow field. The dissolved oxygen sensor 21, pH sensor 23, water temperature sensor 24, and ammonia nitrogen sensor 25 collect water quality parameters of each water layer in real time. The integrated underwater camera 22 monitors the feeding and growth status of organisms around the clock. Based on the monitoring data, the breeding density, feeding amount, and frame layout position are dynamically adjusted to control the ammonia nitrogen concentration of the breeding water below 0.5mg / L and maintain the pH value between 7.8 and 8.5. During the system maintenance and harvesting phases, the frame posture is adjusted and kept stable by using the heart-shaped cable 34. The organisms attached to the net 1 of the mixed culture system are cleaned every month. During harvesting, algae, shellfish and fish are harvested in stages. When harvesting oysters in oyster cages 46, the connection between the binding rope 45 and the vertical HDPE hanging rod 42 is released. The oyster cages 46 are then lifted to the stop plate 51 and transferred to the dock for operation. The system material cycle and energy flow balance are maintained continuously to achieve efficient and stable ecological intelligent mixed culture. Key technological breakthroughs: Through intelligent water quality monitoring, precise environmental control, and dynamic nutrient matching, problems such as growth stagnation and difficulty in summering of triploid oysters are solved, resulting in a 40% increase in survival rate and a 20% increase in meat quality and plumpness compared to conventional seedlings.
[0040] During use, the system uses the mixed-culture system net 1 as the core aquaculture carrier. The outer side is supported and stabilized by the gravity modular HDPE frame structure 3. The horizontal HDPE pipe 31 and the vertical HDPE pipe 32 are flexibly connected by HDPE reinforced connectors 33 to form a U-shaped frame. The chicken heart ring cable 34 is used to achieve gravity anchoring, which improves the ability to resist wind and waves and water flow impact. The plate-shaped raft 35, raft connector 36 and connecting guide rod 37 realize the modular splicing of the frame and buoyancy balance, ensuring that the system is stably suspended in the water. The buoyancy platform structure 5 connects the stop plate 51 to the tubular floating raft 53 through the column connector 52. Multiple sets of tubular floating rafts 53 are connected in series through the floating raft connector 54 to form a continuous buoyancy support. The plate connector 55 and the mounting hole 56 realize the precise docking and fixation of the buoyancy platform with the horizontal HDPE pipe 31 and the vertical HDPE pipe 32, providing a stable working platform for breeding, inspection and harvesting. Dissolved oxygen sensor 21, pH sensor 23, water temperature sensor 24, and ammonia nitrogen sensor 25 are layered and deployed along the top, middle, and bottom of the inner side of the mixed culture net 1 to collect water quality parameters of each water layer in real time.

Eight integrated underwater cameras 22 are distributed at the top and bottom of the inner side of the net to monitor the feeding, growth, and activity status of organisms around the clock. After the monitoring data is fed back in real time, the system dynamically adjusts the stocking density, feeding amount, and frame layout position based on parameters such as dissolved oxygen, ammonia nitrogen, flow velocity, and organism status to maintain water quality indicators within a suitable range and ensure the stable growth of fish, shellfish, and algae. The suspended aquaculture structure 4 uses horizontal HDPE hanging rods 41, vertical HDPE hanging rods 42, and binding ropes 45 to fix the oyster cages 46, realizing large-scale suspended aquaculture of oysters. The sheet-like floating rafts 43 are fitted onto the outside of the HDPE pipe through the insertion holes 44 to help balance the buoyancy. During system operation, the frame posture is maintained by the chicken heart ring cable 34, the organisms attached to the net 1 of the mixed culture system are cleaned regularly, and the algae, shellfish and fish are harvested in stages in the order of harvesting. The system continuously maintains the balance of material cycle and energy flow, and realizes long-term stable, efficient and intelligent ecological mixed culture.
