Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of artificial cultivation of seafood, in particular to an oyster cultivation cage. Background Art

[0002] Oyster cage cultivation generally uses scallop cages. Seed oysters without a fixed base or those fixed on shells together with the shells are loaded into scallop cages and suspended for cultivation on floating ropes.

[0003] Due to the relatively large coastal winds and waves in China, under the impact of the winds and waves, the sharp edges of the oyster shells are likely to cut through the cages, causing losses and increasing the cultivation cost.

[0004] During the oyster cultivation process, seedling sorting or cage inversion is required. The existing cages are sealed with ropes. The ropes are similar in color to the cages and have a lot of attachments, resulting in difficulty in finding the cage openings. Two people are needed to rotate the cages to find the openings, which consumes a great deal of labor and time costs.

[0005] In different sea areas, the cultivation water layer of the cultivation cages should be appropriately adjusted according to seasons, water temperature, attached biological groups, etc. Usually, the water layer is maintained at 0.5m - 1.0m. During the high-temperature period and the season when a large number of marine organisms attach, it should be appropriately adjusted to a deep water layer of 0.5m - 4.0m. Currently, the depth of the cage placement depends on manual estimation, which is not accurate enough and affects the growth rate of oysters. Content of the Utility Model

[0006] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a new type of oyster cultivation cage for the above problems existing in the prior art.

[0007] To achieve the above object, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

A plurality of support skeletons penetrate through the edges of the plurality of grids from top to bottom in sequence and are fixedly connected to the plurality of grids. A plurality of depth marks are arranged on the suspension rope.

[0009] Preferably, the netting is made of polyethylene material.

[0010] Preferably, the prominent mark is a part with a color different from that of the main body of the netting at the opening.

[0011] Preferably, the prominent mark is composed of polyethylene nets with the same material as the main body of the netting but different colors, or is formed by coating fluorescent materials at the opening while the overall color of the netting is the same.

[0012] Preferably, a plurality of through holes are provided in the middle of the grid sheet, and the edges of the grid sheet are upturned, and a plurality of through holes are provided at intervals on the upturned edges.

[0013] Preferably, the through holes are circular, oval, rectangular or square.

[0014] Preferably, the support framework is a plastic tie, and buckles are provided at both ends of the plastic tie.

[0034] In a preferred embodiment, the lifting rope 5 is a commercially available digital marking rope, and the digital marks on the digital marking rope are the depth marks 6. In another preferred embodiment, the depth marks 6 are fluorescent markings fixed at intervals on the lifting rope 5 in sequence. The fluorescent markings are made of commonly used fluorescent marking stickers on the market and are fixed to the lifting rope 5 through tapes or tied to the lifting rope 5. There are 10 - 20 depth marks 6, and the interval between adjacent depth marks is 0.5 m to 1 m. Different depths are marked with different colors. Specifically, the depth marks 6 include 5 colors: red, yellow, blue, green, and magenta. A depth mark is set every 0.5 m. Red represents 0.5 m, 1 m, 1.5 m, 2 m; yellow represents 2.5 m, 3 m, 3.5 m, 4 m; blue represents 4.5 m, 5 m, 5.5 m, 6 m; green represents 6.5 m, 7 m, 7.5 m, 8 m; magenta represents 8.5 m, 9 m, 9.5 m, 10 m, with a total of 20 marks (i.e., 10 meters). This facilitates the operator to quickly estimate the depth of the cage according to the color when pulling up or lowering the cage.

[0035] During use, the operator passes the tie through the upturned edge of the grid plate as needed and fixes it, puts in oyster seedlings, sews the opening through a nylon rope, and further can hook the hook. Then hold the end of the lifting rope and lower the cage until it stops at the appropriate depth with reference to the depth marks, and fix the lifting rope on the floating line. When harvesting or turning the cage, lift the cage to the water surface through the lifting rope, identify the opening of the cage through eye-catching materials, pull out the nylon rope, open the opening of the cage, and pour out the oysters in the grid plate.
