Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the fields of marine biological resource survey, seaweed farms, and fishery resource protection technology, specifically a hollow aquaculture container covered with metal mesh. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of artificial reefs, to increase fishery production and improve the efficiency of fishery resource enhancement in local sea areas, it is necessary to construct marine ranches and use artificial reefs to protect each stage of the fishery resource's life cycle, thereby increasing the survival rate and reducing the mortality rate of fishery resources in the wild, and ultimately increasing fishery production in the region. To achieve the goal of covering the entire life cycle, it is necessary to attract and retain juvenile fish within a certain space to improve their reproductive efficiency. The design of aquaculture reefs serves two purposes: attraction and spawning. To attract shade-loving organisms, it is necessary to design containers suitable for them, providing both protection from predators and a dark environment. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides a hollow aquaculture container covered with metal mesh to solve at least one of the above-mentioned technical problems.
[0004] The technical solution of this utility model is: a hollow aquaculture container covered with metal mesh, comprising a container body, characterized in that the container body comprises a trough made of concrete, the trough being a cuboid structure with an upward opening, the trough comprising a bottom plate, two first side plates and two second side plates, the height of the first side plates being the same as the height of the second side plates, the two first side plates being fixed to both sides of the bottom plate along the length direction of the trough, the two second side plates being fixed to both sides of the bottom plate along the width direction of the trough, and two strip-shaped pads being installed on the lower surface of the bottom plate, the strip-shaped pads being arranged along the width direction of the trough;
[0005] The bottom plate has at least six guide holes, each first side plate has three guide holes, and each second side plate has two guide holes. The interior of the tank is covered with a flexible metal mesh. The width of the flexible metal mesh is smaller than the width of the tank, the length of the flexible metal mesh is greater than the length of the tank, and the flexible metal mesh is placed in a wavy shape inside the tank.
[0006] The container body also includes a cover plate, which is a rectangular plate made of concrete, and the cover plate covers the opening of the tank.
[0007] This invention utilizes a culture container set in the bottom sediment layer, suitable for the reproduction of shade-loving aquatic plants and animals. The guide holes facilitate fish passage and allow wave impact to transport microorganisms from the seawater into the tank. The metal mesh creates a complex environment within the tank, which also promotes the reproduction of shade-loving plants. This not only enriches the diversity of the marine ecosystem but also provides important habitats and food sources for marine life. Furthermore, the metal mesh is easily movable, allowing shade-loving plants attached to it to be transported to other scarce marine areas.
[0008] Further preferably, two strip-shaped handles are installed on the upper surface of the cover plate, the strip-shaped handles are arranged along the width direction of the cover plate, the length of the cover plate is greater than the length of the groove, and the width of the cover plate is greater than the width of the groove.
[0009] The cover is easy to open and remove.
[0010] Further preferably, the cover plate is provided with four matrix-arranged flow guide holes, which facilitates flow guidance above the tank.
[0011] Further preferably, the end of the metal mesh is fixed to the guide hole on the second side plate by a cable tie.
[0012] By fixing both ends of the metal mesh, it can be prevented from shrinking due to the impact of water flow, reducing gaps and affecting plant reproduction.
[0013] Further preferably, the metal mesh is arranged in a wave-like pattern, and the metal mesh surrounds and forms multiple arched channels. A support member is embedded in each arched channel. The support member is a cylindrical structure made of acrylic, and the central axis of the support member is perpendicular to the length direction of the groove.
[0014] This invention not only ensures the gap between adjacent metal meshes by arranging support members between the metal meshes, facilitating the reproduction of algae, but also allows the support members to serve as habitats for fish in aquaculture.
[0015] Further preferably, the outer contour of the strip-shaped pad is an inverted trapezoid. This facilitates better overall fixation to the surface of the substrate layer. Attached Figure Description

[0019] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0020] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a perforated aquaculture container covered with metal mesh includes a container body, which comprises a concrete trough. The trough is a rectangular structure with an upward opening. The trough includes a bottom plate 1, two first side plates 2, and two second side plates 3. The height of the first side plates is the same as the height of the second side plates. The two first side plates are fixed to both sides of the bottom plate along the length of the trough, and the two second side plates are fixed to both sides of the bottom plate along the width of the trough. Two strip-shaped pads 4 are installed on the lower surface of the bottom plate, and the strip-shaped pads are arranged along the width of the trough. At least six flow guide holes 5 are opened on the bottom plate, three flow guide holes are opened on each first side plate, and two flow guide holes are opened on each second side plate. A flexible metal mesh 6 is covered inside the trough. The width of the flexible metal mesh is smaller than the width of the trough, the length of the flexible metal mesh is greater than the length of the trough, and the flexible metal mesh is placed in a wavy shape inside the trough. The container body also includes a cover plate 7, which is a rectangular plate made of concrete and covers the opening of the trough.
[0021] This invention utilizes a culture container set in the bottom sediment layer, suitable for the reproduction of shade-loving aquatic plants and animals. The guide holes facilitate fish passage and allow wave impact to transport microorganisms from the seawater into the tank. The metal mesh creates a complex environment within the tank, which also promotes the reproduction of shade-loving plants. This not only enriches the diversity of the marine ecosystem but also provides important habitats and food sources for marine life. Furthermore, the metal mesh is easily movable, allowing shade-loving plants attached to it to be transported to other scarce marine areas.
[0022] Further optimized, two strip-shaped handles 8 are installed on the upper surface of the cover plate. The strip-shaped handles are arranged along the width direction of the cover plate, the length of the cover plate is greater than the length of the groove, and the width of the cover plate is greater than the width of the groove. This facilitates opening and removing the cover plate.
[0023] Further optimization involves providing four matrix-arranged flow guide holes on the cover plate. This facilitates flow guidance above the tank.
[0024] Further optimized, the ends of the metal mesh are fixed to the guide holes on the second side plate using cable ties. Fixing both ends of the metal mesh prevents it from shrinking due to the impact of water flow, reducing gaps and hindering plant reproduction.
[0025] Further preferably, the metal mesh is arranged in a wavy pattern, forming multiple arched channels. Each arched channel contains a support member 9, which is a cylindrical structure made of acrylic. The central axis of the support member is perpendicular to the length of the channel. This invention, by arranging support members between the metal meshes, not only ensures sufficient spacing between adjacent meshes to facilitate algae growth, but also allows the support members to serve as habitats for fish in aquaculture.
[0026] Further optimization involves the strip-shaped pad having an inverted trapezoidal outer contour. This facilitates better overall fixation to the substrate surface.
[0027] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model. It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
