Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the technical field of shrimp larvae breeding, and in particular to a shrimp larvae breeding device for freshwater aquaculture. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, the shrimp larvae used in artificial breeding come from two sources: artificially cultivated shrimp and wild-caught shrimp larvae. Both can meet the requirements of artificial breeding. The artificial cultivation of shrimp larvae refers to the intensive feeding and management of artificially selected parent shrimp to promote egg-bearing and hatching, and then cultivating the shrimp larvae to reach the juvenile stage to meet the requirements of artificial breeding.
[0003] Traditional shrimp larvae rearing ponds have certain shortcomings in the process: poor living environment: the pond bottom structure is simple, and shrimp larvae lack hiding and molting space, resulting in a high rate of cannibalism. Insufficient dissolved oxygen: the natural dissolved oxygen in traditional rearing ponds is insufficient to meet the needs of high-density shrimp larvae, especially when water quality deteriorates or the weather is hot and humid, a sudden drop in dissolved oxygen can easily cause shrimp larvae to surface and die.

[0023] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4 This application will be described in further detail.
[0024] This application discloses a shrimp larvae rearing device for freshwater aquaculture. (Refer to...) Figure 1-4 A freshwater shrimp larvae rearing device includes a rearing box 1, two net bags 4, an aeration component, and two sets of hydrodynamic circulation mechanisms. The top of the rearing box 1 is open for shrimp larvae rearing. Multiple circular depressions 20 are laid on the bottom inside the rearing box 1 to provide hiding and molting space for the shrimp larvae. Support rods 3 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the rearing box 1. Both net bags 4 are suspended from the support rods 3 by hooks 5. The aeration component is located inside the rearing box 1 and increases the dissolved oxygen in the water by releasing fine bubbles. The oxygenation assembly includes multiple aeration discs 8, each fixedly connected to the bottom of the seedling tray 1. Multiple aeration holes 9 are provided on the upper surface of each aeration disc 8. Adjacent aeration discs 8 are connected by a connecting pipe 10. An air inlet pipe 7 is fixedly connected to the side wall of one of the aeration discs 8, with one end of the air inlet pipe 7 penetrating the side wall of the seedling tray 1 and extending to the outside. Two sets of hydrodynamic circulation mechanisms are symmetrically arranged inside the seedling tray 1 to achieve active water circulation and enhance water flow coverage. The system includes a mixing drum 2, which is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the seedling box 1 via two connecting rods 11. The mixing drum 2 has a first cavity 14 and a second cavity 19 inside. A stirring rod 15 is rotatably mounted inside the mixing drum 2. Multiple stirring blades 18 located within the second cavity 19 are fixedly connected to the side wall of the stirring rod 15. Multiple through holes 13 are evenly distributed on the side wall of the second cavity 19. Two drive motors 6 are fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the seedling box 1. The drive motors 6 are connected to the stirring rod 15 via a drive assembly. The transmission connection includes a drive bevel gear 16 and a driven bevel gear 17. A connecting shaft 12 is symmetrically rotatably connected to the inner side wall of the seedling box 1. One end of the connecting shaft 12 passes through the side wall of the mixing drum 2 and is fixedly connected to the drive bevel gear 16 located in the first cavity 14. A driven bevel gear 17 that meshes with the drive bevel gear 16 is fixedly sleeved on the side wall of the mixing rod 15. The driven bevel gear 17 is located inside the first cavity 14. A drain pipe (not shown in the figure) is fixedly connected to the side wall of the seedling box 1.
[0025] The implementation principle of the shrimp larvae rearing device for freshwater aquaculture in this application embodiment is as follows: All electrical components in this application are externally connected to a power source and control switch during use. The circular depression 20 at the bottom of the rearing box 1 provides shrimp larvae with a physical space for hiding and molting, simulating the shrimp burrowing environment of natural waters and reducing cannibalism. The net 4 suspended on the connecting rod 11 isolates parent shrimp from juvenile shrimp, preventing adult shrimp from preying on the larvae, while simultaneously creating a layered habitat space to meet the survival needs of shrimp larvae at different growth stages. The aeration disc 8 is connected to an external air source (e.g., an external aeration pump) through the air inlet pipe 7. The gas is released into the water in the form of fine bubbles through the aeration holes 9, rapidly increasing the dissolved oxygen level. As the bubbles rise, they cause water flow, promoting uniform distribution of dissolved oxygen. Especially in cases of deteriorating water quality or hot and humid weather, continuous air supply can maintain stable dissolved oxygen levels in the water, preventing shrimp larvae from surfacing due to oxygen deficiency. The drive motor 6 rotates the connecting shaft 12, and through the meshing of the driving bevel gear 16 and the driven bevel gear 17, the stirring rod 15 drives the stirring blades 18 to rotate within the second cavity 19 of the stirring cylinder 2. Water flows into the second cavity 19 through the through hole 13, is stirred by the stirring blades 18 to form a circulating flow, and is then discharged through the opening on the side wall of the stirring cylinder 2, realizing active circulation of the pond water. This circulating flow covers the entire pond, accelerating the diffusion and discharge of organic matter such as uneaten feed and feces, and, in conjunction with natural water exchange, preventing local water quality deterioration; at the same time, it simulates a natural water flow environment, stimulating shrimp larvae to swim and enhancing their vitality. Water in the nursery box 1 can be drained through the drain pipe.
[0026] In this process, the layered design of the circular depression 20 and the net bag 4 provides shrimp larvae with a hidden molting space and a parent-larval isolation environment, stable water circulation and dissolved oxygen environment, simulates the natural aquatic ecology, improves seedling breeding efficiency and economic benefits, and the overall structure is relatively simple and easy to use, which improves the practicality of the device.
[0027] Here, the model of drive motor 6 can be selected according to the actual situation, for example, the model can be YE2-6344-37KW.
