Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aquaculture pond technology, specifically to an integrated ecological aquaculture pond for crayfish under a photovoltaic fishery model. Background Technology
[0002] As China's energy development moves towards clean, efficient, and green practices, utilizing ponds, tidal flats, and deserts for photovoltaic power generation aligns with national energy development needs. Ponds are a primary space for aquaculture in my country, and whether the installation of photovoltaic panels on ponds affects the yield and quality of aquaculture has been a subject of concern and debate among aquaculture practitioners and scientists. After the installation of photovoltaic panels on ponds, factors such as shading, wind protection, and power generation noise have significantly altered water temperature, pH levels, ammonia nitrogen, total phosphorus, and total nitrogen. Pond microorganisms, plankton, and aquatic plants are also greatly affected. Whether energy and fisheries can be developed in a coupled manner, and whether photovoltaic fisheries projects can be successfully implemented, are key concerns for both fisheries and energy departments.
[0003] As an important freshwater economic shrimp species in my country, the combination of crayfish and photovoltaics can not only ensure the generation of clean energy but also improve the economic benefits of crayfish farming. However, in the early stages of photovoltaic construction, too much attention was paid to power generation efficiency. The coverage area, angle, and column height of photovoltaic panels on ponds were all aimed at maximizing power generation benefits without considering the needs of crayfish farming. This resulted in slow crayfish growth, high feed conversion ratios, and more diseases, leading to low economic benefits.
[0004] In view of this, it is necessary to provide a construction scheme for an integrated ecological crayfish farming pond under the photovoltaic fishery model, so as to further enhance the economic and social benefits of "photovoltaic + crayfish" farming. Utility Model Content

[0030] Example 2
[0031] Photovoltaic fishery module deployment
[0032] Installation spacing: Based on the pond conditions and geographical location, photovoltaic facilities are installed on the pond embankment and water surface area, with a row spacing of 4m to 5m and a line spacing of 8m to 10m, to facilitate sunlight irradiation of the pond. When the sun shines directly on the pond, the illuminated area in the pond exceeds 50% of the total planned area, which is 8% to 15% higher than the illuminated area of traditional photovoltaic systems.
[0033] Installation height: The lower the lowest point of the photovoltaic panel is from the water surface, the worse the ventilation conditions of the aquaculture pond. The traditional photovoltaic module installation height is generally 0.5m to 1m. After the modification design, the lowest point of the photovoltaic module is 2m above the water surface. The ventilation and air permeability of the pond is not much different from that of the traditional pond. Compared with the traditional photovoltaic, this installation can be used for normal operations such as seedling release, feed feeding and aquaculture harvesting.
[0034] Tilt Angle Setting: The tilt angle is set based on the latitude and longitude of the pond and the total annual solar radiation on the tilted surface of the photovoltaic modules. The project site, Hanchuan, Hubei Province, is located at 30° latitude, and the optimal tilt angle for the photovoltaic panels, calculated to be 18°, is determined. This angle ensures that the shading distance between the rear and front rows of modules is greater than 2 meters from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, guaranteeing the amount of sunlight required for the growth of aquatic plants and phytoplankton in the photovoltaic pond.
[0035] Installation orientation: The sloping side of the photovoltaic panel should face due south and be parallel to the north and south ridges of the pond.
[0036] The innovative photovoltaic module layout increases the area and duration of sunlight exposure, and improves the permeability of the pond. Compared to traditional photovoltaic ponds, this is more conducive to the growth of aquatic plants and phytoplankton, and to the formation of a biological community. Furthermore, during the high temperatures of summer, the water temperature in photovoltaic ponds drops by 2-3°C after shading, which is beneficial for crayfish growth.
[0037] Standardized transformation of photovoltaic ponds
[0038] During the installation of photovoltaic modules, silt accumulation or multiple pits were generated at the bottom of the pond, which is not conducive to the planting of aquatic plants and aquaculture operations. Standardized transformation of the aquaculture pond is required.
[0039] Dredging and embankment construction: Remove the silt generated during the installation of components, level the pond surface, and retain an average silt thickness of 0.15m to 0.2m to facilitate the rooting and growth of aquatic plants. Reinforce, raise, and widen the pond embankments, with a width of 2m to 3m, a depth of 1.5m, and an inner slope ratio of 1:1 to 2.
[0040] Install an inlet and outlet drainage system: The inlet and outlet are located diagonally opposite each other in the pond, with the inlet at a higher elevation and the outlet at a lower elevation. The water flow direction is aligned with the orientation of the photovoltaic modules. The outlet is enclosed by a layer of 20-mesh polyethylene mesh to prevent escape. The inlet is enclosed by a layer of 20-mesh polyethylene mesh and a layer of 80-mesh fine-mesh netting, with the netting length ranging from 3m to 5m, to filter out wild fish and fish eggs.
[0041] Install oxygenation facilities: The shading effect of photovoltaic facilities will reduce the photosynthesis of phytoplankton in the water. It is advisable to choose microporous oxygenation equipment with "wide coverage and high oxygenation efficiency". Install one set of 3KW microporous oxygenation equipment per 10 acres.
[0042] Example 3
[0043] Aquaculture program
[0044] Pond cleaning and fertilization: Before planting aquatic plants and stocking seedlings, the pond must be cleaned and disinfected. Use tea seed cake (20 kg / mu) with water for cleaning, filling the pond to a depth of 0.1 m, and remove wild fish, snails, clams, etc. Disinfect with quicklime (50-100 kg / mu) to eliminate pathogens and adjust water hardness and pH. After cleaning, apply organic fertilizer (100 kg / mu) to cultivate water fertility.
[0045] Aquatic plant planting: Elodea is selected as the aquatic plant and planted in April. The planting direction of the aquatic plants is consistent with the layout of the photovoltaic modules, and they are planted in the middle of two rows of photovoltaic panel piles, with a plant spacing of 4m to 5m. At the time of planting, the pond water level is 0.3m to 0.4m. Three weeks after planting, the water depth is increased to 0.5m to 0.6m. During the cultivation stage, the water level is gradually increased according to the growth of the aquatic plants.
[0046] Aquatic plant maintenance: Compared to traditional ponds, the water temperature in photovoltaic ponds decreases by 2-3℃ in summer. Simultaneously, by avoiding prolonged direct sunlight, *Elodea nuttallii* grows vigorously without mortality. From May to June, regular mowing and phosphate fertilizer supplementation enhance aquatic plant vitality, regulate water quality, and increase dissolved oxygen. When the aquatic plants in the photovoltaic aquaculture pond exhibit a healthy state with tender, green leaves, long, dense roots, and strong, sturdy stems, and have extended to a diameter of approximately 1 meter, shrimp fry can be introduced.
[0047] Shrimp larvae stocking: Select shrimp larvae that are uniform in size, have complete appendages, no attached organisms on their bodies, have relatively hard shells, and are highly vigorous, with a size of 4.5g to 6.5g. Stocking time should be before 8:00 AM on a sunny day in late April. Stocking location should be shallow water near the bank, or transported by boat to a location with aquatic plants in the middle of the pond's solar panel foundation. Stock at multiple points, placing the larvae frames around the aquatic plants to allow the larvae to crawl into the pond on their own. Stock 5000-6000 larvae per acre. Stocking should follow the principles of "rapid, even, and gentle handling."
[0048] Feeding Management: Feed the shrimp on the day of stocking. For juvenile shrimp, use a specialized feed with a protein content of 32%, feeding 3% to 5% of the shrimp's body weight once a day in the afternoon. For adult shrimp, use a feed with a protein content of 28%, feeding 5% to 7% of the shrimp's body weight once a day in the afternoon. Adjust the specific feeding amount according to water temperature, climate, and the shrimp's feeding behavior. Gradually increase the feed amount during the rearing period, maintaining lush aquatic plants and normal water quality; reduce the feed amount during the harvesting period.
[0049] Water quality management: The shading effect of the photovoltaic panels results in lower water temperatures in the pond during summer, leading to a reduction in phytoplankton biomass compared to traditional intensive aquaculture ponds. This also reduces oxygen production from phytoplankton photosynthesis and oxygen consumption from zooplankton respiration. Consequently, the dissolved oxygen level in the photovoltaic pond is essentially the same as in traditional ponds. The reduction in phytoplankton such as cyanobacteria, cladocerans, and rotifers effectively decreases water turbidity and algal bloom collapse. During the aquaculture period, regular water changes, disinfection, bacterial cultivation, and fertilization are performed to maintain water transparency at 0.3-0.4m, pH at 7.0-8.5, and dissolved oxygen above 5mg / L.
[0050] Disease prevention and control: Prevention is the main approach to crayfish diseases. Diseases can be prevented through strict pond cleaning and disinfection, stocking healthy seedlings, planting aquatic plants, water quality regulation, feeding fresh and high-quality feed, and bottom sediment control.
[0051] Shrimp Harvesting: Shrimp harvesting begins in July, following the principle of "harvesting adults and leaving juveniles," with larger shrimp being harvested and sold. Harvesting tools include 25mm-30mm mesh nets and long bottom traps. Net nets are placed around the perimeter of the pond in areas not covered by photovoltaic panels, with the trap head suspended from wooden stakes, 0.2m-0.3m above the water surface. Long bottom traps are placed in the middle of the pond in the photovoltaic panel area, aligned with the photovoltaic panel layout, with both ends suspended from wooden stakes, and the trap head 0.4m-0.45m above the water surface.
[0052] Install escape prevention measures: Add a plastic film with a height of 0.3m to 0.4m around the pond to prevent escape.
[0053] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
