Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of algae cultivation, in particular to a chlorella cultivation device with an aeration function. Background Art

[0002] In 2022, the total output of eel farming in China was 281,730 tons, of which Fujian Province produced about 122,077 tons of eel farming, accounting for about 43.3%, most of which was produced by factory farming. In the process of intensive eel farming, a large amount of concentrated feeding and the remaining bait and excrement produced by aquatic animals will cause excessive ammonia and nitrogen in the water, causing eutrophication of the water, leading to fish deaths and water quality deterioration, which will put pressure on the ecological environment of the water and affect the sustainable development of the aquaculture industry.

[0003] Putting Chlorella, Scenedesmus, photosynthetic bacteria and lactic acid bacteria into the eel breeding pond to build a bacteria-algae-eel symbiotic system can effectively remove nitrogen and phosphorus in the eel breeding process, reduce the total nitrogen and total phosphorus content in the tail water discharge, and reduce environmental pollution. The existing Chlorella cultivation devices in eel farms in Fujian Province are relatively simple, and most of them use simple aeration devices. The oxygen content at the bottom of the cultivation device is extremely low, and the oxygen distribution is uneven, which affects the development of Chlorella. In addition, the existing Chlorella cultivation devices in eel farms still have the following problems:

[0004] (1) Most of them are placed outdoors or in large incubators or sunrooms, relying on external light sources for lighting. This is costly, easily affected by the weather, and the light intensity is unstable, and they are easily contaminated by bacteria on rainy days. (2) There is no insulation device, and when the temperature is low in winter, the growth rate of Chlorella slows down or even stops growing. (3) There is no stirring device, and the Chlorella is unevenly distributed and easily sinks to the bottom, and it cannot evenly obtain light and oxygen.

[0005] In view of this, the present utility model is proposed. Utility Model Content
