Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aquaculture technology, specifically to a redclaw crayfish larval rearing system. Background Technology
[0002] Shrimp larvae are small shrimp that have been hatched, usually only a few millimeters to a few centimeters long. They represent the initial stage of shrimp growth and are divided into marine shrimp larvae and freshwater shrimp larvae, each adapted to different aquatic environments. Through artificial breeding, a large number of high-quality, healthy shrimp larvae can be obtained for use in aquaculture to improve shrimp yield and quality.
[0003] Existing redclaw crayfish larval rearing systems suffer from low seed density, making intensive management and large-scale cultivation difficult. These systems are also bulky, consuming vast amounts of nutrients and failing to achieve low-cost seedling nutritional enhancement. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an intensive redclaw crayfish larval rearing system.

[0010] Furthermore, the thermostat is either an air conditioner or a water heater.
[0011] Furthermore, the water supply inlet of the filtration device is located at the first end of the larval culture tank. A drain pipe extending along the height direction is provided at the second end of the larval culture tank opposite the first end. An overflow outlet is provided on the upper side of the drain pipe, and the lower end of the drain pipe is detachably fitted onto the drain outlet of the larval culture tank. The return inlet of the filtration device is connected to the drain outlet.
[0012] Furthermore, a return water tank is used to receive water discharged from the drain outlet. The return water outlet is connected to the outlet of the return water tank.
[0013] Furthermore, the filtration device includes a sedimentation tank, which comprises a primary sedimentation tank, a secondary sedimentation tank, and an overflow pipe disposed between the primary and secondary sedimentation tanks. A filter screen is installed inside the overflow pipe.
[0014] Furthermore, the filtration device includes a water pump, the pump's inlet being connected to the final stage sedimentation tank, and the pump's outlet being connected to the water supply outlet.
[0015] Furthermore, the oxygenation device includes an oxygenator, a trachea, and a nano-oxygenation tube, which extends along the length and is positioned on the side of the larval culture tank near the first end.
[0016] Furthermore, the aeration device also includes an auxiliary aeration pipe, which is connected to the gas pipe via a valve. The auxiliary aeration pipe is located on the side of the larval culture tank near the second end. Attached Figure Description

Therefore, a feature defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature.
[0024] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the redclaw crayfish larval rearing system includes a larval rearing tank 1 extending along the length of the system. A hanging rope 11 extends along the length of the system, is installed inside the larval rearing tank 1, and is positioned above the water in the tank to suspend the redclaw crayfish larvae. An aeration device 2 is used to oxygenate the water. A filtration device 3 is used to circulate and filter the water.
[0025] Redclaw crayfish larvae are centrally suspended within larval culture tank 1 for cultivation, enabling intensive management and large-scale breeding of redclaw crayfish larvae. The water volume within larval culture tank 1 and the filtration device 3 is controlled and extremely limited, which helps reduce the amount of nutrient solution used in the water, facilitating low-cost nutrient fortification and improving the immunity and stress resistance of redclaw crayfish larvae at low cost, thus benefiting large-scale breeding.
[0026] It also includes a support frame on which four larval culture tanks 1 can be installed, which are distributed in pairs along the height. This three-dimensional layout effectively utilizes vertical space, allowing more larval culture tanks 1 to be accommodated within a limited ground area, thereby increasing the number of larvae to be cultured and further realizing intensive management and large-scale cultivation.
[0027] Preferably, the hanging rope 11 suspends the redclaw crayfish larvae via a hook and the rope body.
[0028] The rope can carry a large number of redclaw crayfish larvae through their tail hooks, which is beneficial for further increasing the seedling density and intensification.
[0029] Preferably, an insulated chamber 6 is used to enclose the larval culture tank 1. A temperature control device is used to regulate the water temperature.
[0030] Reduce the interference of external environmental temperature on the cultivation process, and improve cultivation efficiency and quality.
[0031] Preferably, the thermostat is an air conditioner or a water heater.
[0032] Advantages of air conditioning: It regulates water temperature by adjusting air temperature, has a simple and reliable structure, is easy to maintain, and can regulate the temperature of the staff's activity area at the same time, which helps to reduce temperature control costs.
[0033] Advantages of water heaters: Directly regulate water temperature, concentrate energy, and are more energy-efficient.
[0034] Preferably, the water supply port 12 of the filter device 3 is located at the first end of the larval culture tank 1. A drain pipe 4 extending along the height direction is provided at the second end of the larval culture tank 1 opposite to the first end. An overflow port 41 is provided on the upper side of the drain pipe 4, and the lower end of the drain pipe 4 is detachably sleeved on the drain port 13 of the larval culture tank 1. The return water port 34 of the filter device 3 is connected to the drain port 13.
[0035] A valve for regulating water flow is installed at water inlet 12.
[0036] The height of the overflow outlet 41 can be used to adjust the water depth.
[0037] After removing the overflow outlet 41, the red claw crayfish larvae can be directly captured through the filter screen at the drain outlet 13, resulting in extremely high capture efficiency.
[0038] Preferably, the return water tank 5 is used to receive water discharged from the drain outlet 13. The return water outlet 34 is connected to the outlet of the return water tank 5.
[0039] The juvenile redclaw crayfish that fail to be caught by the filter fall into the return water tank 5, thus preventing the juvenile redclaw crayfish from falling directly into the filter device 3.
[0040] It also includes a plug, the lower end of which is detachably fitted onto the return water inlet 34. The juvenile red claw crayfish that failed to be caught can be intercepted in the return water tank 5, preventing them from being directly discharged into the filter device 3, making it easier to catch them again. After the plug is removed, the water in the return water tank 5 can flow into the filter device 3.
[0041] It also includes a sewage pipe, which is connected to the return water tank 5 via a valve. The sewage pipe is located on the side of the return water tank 5 away from the return water inlet 34 and is used to discharge wastewater.
[0042] Preferably, the filtration device 3 has a sedimentation tank 31, which includes a primary sedimentation tank 311, a secondary sedimentation tank 312, and an overflow pipe 32 disposed between the primary sedimentation tank 311 and the secondary sedimentation tank 312. A filter screen is disposed inside the overflow pipe 32.
[0043] It also includes a three-stage sedimentation tank. An overflow pipe 32 is also provided between the two-stage sedimentation tank 312 and the three-stage sedimentation tank. A corresponding filter screen is provided inside the overflow pipe 32.
[0044] The filter screen is used to filter impurities and improve water quality. Through multi-stage filtration, the water quality is significantly improved, and the survival conditions of red claw crayfish larvae are enhanced.
[0045] Preferably, the filtration device 3 includes a water pump 33, the water pump 33’s inlet is connected to the final stage sedimentation tank, and the water pump 33’s outlet is connected to the water supply port 12.
[0046] The water pump 33 is installed at the last stage sedimentation tank, that is, the water pump 33 draws water from the last stage sedimentation tank.
[0047] The sedimentation tank 31 provides a buffer space for the red claw crayfish larvae that failed to be intercepted upstream, reducing the risk of the red claw crayfish larvae being strangled by the water pump 33.
[0048] Preferably, the oxygenation device 2 includes an oxygenator 21, an air pipe 22, and a nano-oxygenation tube 23. The nano-oxygenation tube 23 extends along the length direction and is disposed on the side of the larval culture tank 1 near the first end.
[0049] The air bubbles flow from the first end to the second end of the larval culture tank 1 with the water flow, which is conducive to uniform oxygen supply.
[0050] Preferably, the oxygenation device 2 further includes an auxiliary oxygenation pipe 24, which is connected to the gas pipe 22 via a valve. The auxiliary oxygenation pipe 24 is disposed on the side of the larval culture tank 1 near the second end.
[0051] Used to assist in oxygen supply and further improve the uniformity of oxygen supply.
[0052] The above is a detailed description of the present invention in conjunction with specific embodiments, and it should not be construed that the specific implementation of the present invention is limited to these descriptions. For those skilled in the art, any equivalent substitutions or obvious modifications made without departing from the concept of the present invention, and which have the same performance or use, should be considered as falling within the patent protection scope defined by the submitted claims.
