Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of marine fish aquaculture technology, and in particular to an artificial horseshoe crab dwelling. Background Technology

[0002] Artificial horseshoe crab enclosures create suitable habitats for Chinese horseshoe crabs, including polychaetes and mollusks, providing them with a good food source.

[0003] After deployment, the surface and interior of the artificial horseshoe crab enclosures are quickly covered by various benthic organisms, including algae and shellfish. Algae, through photosynthesis, effectively absorb nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus from the water, improving water quality. Benthic shellfish like clams filter-feed, consuming large amounts of organic detritus and phytoplankton. Carnivorous shellfish like mud snails decompose animal matter; the remaining carcasses at the bottom are of a suitable size for the mouthparts of horseshoe crabs of different ages, increasing the source of animal food for juvenile horseshoe crabs. Polychaetes like sandworms decompose organic matter in the substrate, preventing it from blackening and becoming foul-smelling, further purifying the water while also serving as food for larger horseshoe crabs. Furthermore, the dark, shaded environment provided by the artificial horseshoe crab enclosures becomes an ideal habitat for intertidal polychaetes (such as sandworms) and shellfish (naturally growing oysters and mussels), which can inhabit the enclosures after the tide recedes. This not only provides them with shelter but also an important food source for Chinese horseshoe crabs. Therefore, artificial horseshoe crab enclosures are key facilities for the successful breeding and release of Chinese horseshoe crabs. However, existing artificial horseshoe crab enclosures have drawbacks such as high resistance and insufficient structural stability. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an artificial horseshoe crab dwelling that can achieve structural stability, low resistance, and low risk of drift.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an artificial horseshoe crab dwelling, comprising a reinforced concrete box with a mesh-like hollow structure, the box comprising a top plate and a bottom plate, the top plate being disposed above the bottom plate, the bottom plate having a hollow center, square columns being disposed at the four corners and the middle of the sides of the bottom plate, cross-shaped support rods being disposed at the hollow center of the bottom plate, and the top plate having an array of distributed holes.

[0006] Furthermore, the outer dimensions of the box are 3.0 m in length and width, and 0.9 m in height.

[0007] Furthermore, the top plate has dimensions of 3.0m in length and width, and a thickness of 0.2m.

[0008] Furthermore, the diameter of the hole is 0.2m, and the distance between the top surfaces of the holes is 0.5m.

[0009] Furthermore, the length and width of the square column are both 0.3m, and the distance between the horizontal and vertical sides of the square column is 1.05m.

[0010] Furthermore, the bottom plate of the box has a dimension of 3.0m and a thickness of 0.3m.

[0011] Furthermore, the cross-sectional length of the strut is 0.6m and the width is 0.3m.

[0012] Furthermore, the concrete used is artificial oyster shell concrete.

[0013] Furthermore, the top plate, bottom plate, square columns, and struts all contain steel mesh.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: The horseshoe crab dwelling structure of this invention is stable and can withstand significant water flow impacts and external forces. It is not easily moved or damaged by natural forces such as seawater flow and tides, and can exist stably on the seabed for a long time, providing a lasting habitat for marine life. In addition to providing habitat for marine life as a horseshoe crab dwelling, the structure of this invention can also have certain wave-damping and shoreline protection functions, playing a role in protecting the coastline and reducing wave erosion.

The box includes a top plate 1 and a bottom plate 2. The top plate 1 is disposed above the bottom plate 2. The bottom plate 2 is hollow in the middle. Square columns are provided at the four corners and the middle of the sides of the bottom plate 2. Cross-shaped support rods 4 are provided in the hollow part of the bottom plate 2. The top plate 1 has an array of holes 5.

[0025] The top plate 1, bottom plate 2, square columns, and support rods 4 form a stable box structure. The structure is sturdy and can withstand large water flow impacts and external forces. It is not easily moved or damaged by natural forces such as seawater flow and tides, and can exist stably on the seabed for a long time, providing a lasting habitat for marine life. The holes 5 in the top plate 1 can prevent it from being pushed and displaced by the waves, and the support rods 4 can enhance the stability of the structure.
