[0002] Conventionally, various breeding containers have been developed and proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 1). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2012-244960 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] An object of the present invention is to provide a breeding container that can improve the breeding efficiency of aquatic organisms. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] A breeding container according to one aspect of the present invention comprises: A breeding container immersed in an aquarium for breeding aquatic organisms, a container body having a mesh-like bottom surface and a peripheral wall portion erected on the periphery of the bottom surface, the container body being formed so as to open at the top; a floating portion provided on the upper periphery of the container body so as to surround the container body and position the upper end of the container body at a height higher than the water surface in the aquarium; a water supply pipe having a U-shaped cross section, the water supply pipe being inserted into and fixed to a through-hole formed in the float portion, the water supply pipe having a discharge port disposed above the container body and an upper portion bent toward the container body, the water supply pipe having an inlet immersed in the water tank and disposed below the container body and a lower portion bent toward the container body; an air supply pipe connected to the vicinity of a lower corner of the water supply pipe, which supplies air into the water supply pipe, thereby causing the rearing water drawn in from the intake port to be sent upward by the buoyancy of the air, and then discharging the rearing water from the discharge port into the container body; Equipped with. [Effects of the Invention]

[0006] According to the breeding container of the present invention, the breeding efficiency of aquatic organisms can be improved. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0007] [Figure 1] 1 is a longitudinal cross-sectional view showing the configuration of a breeding container according to an embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0008] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0009] 1 is a vertical cross-sectional view showing the configuration of a breeding container 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The breeding container 10 is immersed in an aquarium and is used to breed aquatic organisms.

[0010] The container body 20 has a bottom surface 20A formed in a mesh pattern and a peripheral wall 20B erected on the periphery of the bottom surface 20A, and is formed so that the top surface is open.

[0011] The float 30 is provided on the periphery of the upper end of the container body 20 so as to surround the container body 20, and positions the upper end of the container body 20 at a height higher than the water surface 40 in the aquarium.

[0012] The water supply pipe 50, which has a U-shaped cross section, is inserted into and fixed to a through hole 30A drilled in the floating part 30, and is formed so that the discharge port 50A is positioned above the container body 20 and the upper part is bent toward the container body 20, while the intake port 50B is immersed in the water tank and is positioned below the container body 20 and the lower part is bent toward the container body 20.

[0013] The air supply pipe 60 is connected near the lower corner of the water supply pipe 50, and by supplying air into the water supply pipe 50, the buoyancy of the air causes the rearing water sucked in from the intake port 50B to be sent upward, and the rearing water to be discharged into the container body 20 from the discharge port 50A.

[0014] A plurality of water intake holes 50C are drilled in the water supply pipe 50 near the tip end on the intake port 50B side.

[0015] The breeding container 10 further has a porous sponge 70 formed with a concave cross section, and the tip of the water supply pipe 50 on the intake port 50B side is inserted into the concave portion 70 of the sponge 70.

[0016] According to this embodiment, when raising aquatic organisms such as fish, food cannot pass through bottom portion 20A made of mesh or the like, and is pushed against bottom portion 20A by the water flow, allowing fish moving around near bottom portion 20A to eat efficiently without waste, thereby reducing feeding costs. In addition, constant drainage from bottom portion 20A keeps the inside of rearing container 10 clean, significantly reducing fish disease and mortality.

[0017] By drilling a plurality of water intake holes 50C near the tip of the water supply pipe 50 on the intake port 50B side, rearing water can be sucked in evenly.

[0018] The porous sponge 70 can prevent the intrusion of debris larger than the pores of the sponge 70, thereby preventing debris from entering the breeding container 10. [Explanation of symbols]
