AI Technical Summary
Existing artificial reefs are susceptible to physical damage from wave impacts, failing to provide stable habitats and refuges, thus affecting the survival rate of organisms.
The design incorporates a double-layered, annular wave-damping aquaculture reef, consisting of a first ring made of concrete and an inner second ring. The second ring is equipped with a figure-eight baffle and aquaculture frames. A height difference exists between the inner and outer rings to create a refuge area and promote the accumulation of nutrients.
It reduces the impact of waves on the reef, provides refuge for fish, improves the survival rate of organisms, and promotes the attraction and reproduction effect of breeding reefs.

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 double-layered annular wave-damping and aquaculture reef. Background Technology
[0002] Existing breeding reefs are easily impacted by ocean waves, resulting in strong currents that cause physical damage to the reef and vulnerable organisms such as juvenile fish and shellfish. They cannot provide a more stable habitat. Furthermore, the simple structure of existing breeding reefs cannot provide refuge for fish from predators (such as large predators) and extreme weather (such as storms), thus affecting the survival rate of organisms. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides a double-layered annular wave-damping and aquaculture reef to solve at least one of the above-mentioned technical problems.
[0004] The technical solution of this utility model is: a double-layered circular annular wave-damping and aquaculture reef, comprising an aquaculture reef body, characterized in that the aquaculture reef body includes a first circular ring made of concrete, within which four reef bodies are evenly arranged, each reef body including a circular base plate, the edge of which is located at the bottom of the first circular ring, and a second circular ring is also provided inside the first circular ring, with the bottom of the second circular ring located above the circular base plate.
[0005] The outer wall of the second ring is provided with a figure-eight shaped baffle. The installation direction of the baffle is towards the first ring, and the baffle is located on the upper surface of the circular base plate. The end of the baffle abuts against the top of the first ring. A square aquaculture frame is provided in the center of the second ring, and the four reefs are located around the aquaculture frame.
[0006] The height of the second ring is greater than the height of the first ring.
[0007] This invention, by setting up a reef within a circular ring, not only reduces the impact of waves on the reef but also provides a refuge for fish. Furthermore, the double-ring structure with a height difference between the inner and outer rings better traps nutrients from the waves between the two rings, promoting the attraction and reproduction of fish.
[0008] More preferably, the central axis of the first ring coincides with the central axis of the second ring.
[0009] Optimizing the arrangement of the rings makes the overall placement more stable.
[0010] Preferably, the second ring is a ring structure made of metal mesh connected end to end.
[0011] The structure of the second ring allows the space between the two rings to be connected to the breeding frame, thus enabling the transfer of nutrients.
[0012] In a further preferred embodiment, the internal space of the breeding frame is divided into four spaces by partitions.
[0013] This allows for decentralized farming.
[0014] Further preferably, the height of the breeding frame is less than the height of the second ring.
[0015] This can prevent the top of the aquaculture frame from being directly impacted by sea waves.
[0016] In a further preferred embodiment, a lifting lug is fixed to the outer wall of the first ring, and the end of the lifting lug is embedded in the first ring.
[0017] The first ring can be easily moved using the lifting lugs. Attached Figure Description
[0018] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of this utility model.
[0019] In the diagram: 1. First ring; 2. Circular base plate; 3. Second ring; 4. Baffle; 5. Breeding frame; 6. Partition; 7. Hanging lug. Detailed Implementation
[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0021] Reference Figure 1 As shown, the double-layered annular wave-damping aquaculture reef includes an aquaculture reef body, which includes a first ring 1 made of concrete. Four reef bodies are evenly arranged inside the first ring. Each reef body includes a circular base plate 2, the edge of which is located at the bottom of the first ring. A second ring 3 is also provided inside the first ring. The bottom of the second ring is located above the circular base plate. The outer wall of the second ring is provided with a V-shaped baffle 4, which is installed facing the first ring and is located on the upper surface of the circular base plate. The end of the baffle abuts against the top of the first ring. A square aquaculture frame 5 is provided in the center of the second ring, and the four reef bodies are located around the aquaculture frame. The height of the second ring is greater than the height of the first ring.
[0022] This invention, by setting up a reef within a circular ring, not only reduces the impact of waves on the reef but also provides a refuge for fish. Furthermore, the double-ring structure with a height difference between the inner and outer rings better traps nutrients from the waves between the two rings, promoting the attraction and reproduction of fish.
[0023] Further optimization involves aligning the central axis of the first ring with the central axis of the second ring. This optimized arrangement of the rings makes the overall structure more stable.
[0024] Further optimized, the second ring is a ring-shaped structure made of metal mesh connected end to end. The structure of the second ring allows the space between the two rings to be connected to the breeding frame, thus enabling the transfer of nutrients.
[0025] Further optimization involves dividing the internal space of the breeding frame into four compartments using partitions 6. This allows for dispersed breeding operations.
[0026] Further optimization involves ensuring that the height of the aquaculture frame is less than the height of the second ring. This prevents the top of the aquaculture frame from being directly impacted by sea waves.
[0027] In a further preferred embodiment, a lifting lug 7 is fixed to the outer wall of the first ring, with the end of the lifting lug embedded inside the first ring. The lifting lug facilitates the movement of the first ring.
[0028] 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.
