P1296 / NL SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR REMOVING SEWAGE FROM SURFACE OF AQUACULTURE WATER TANK SUITABLE FOR AQUACULTURE SHIP TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to the technical field of aqua culture ship equipment, and in particular to a system and method for removing sewage from the surface of an aquaculture water tank suitable for an aquaculture ship. BACKGROUND ART The surface sewage of the aquiculture tank of the aquiculture ship mainly includes mucus foam, feed particles, etc. The mucus foam is mainly generated due to the stress reaction generated when the fry enters the tank, and the feed particles are the residue which is not ingested by the fish after being fed into the aqui culture water tank. If the water surface sewage is not discharged in time, it will not only produce toxic and harmful substances, damage the water quality, but also affect the contact between wa ter and air, resulting in insufficient oxygen supply for fish growth, greatly affecting the quality and economic benefits of fish aquiculture. For traditional fish aquaculture modes, such as landbased aquaculture and cage aquiculture, the water surface sewage can be discharged by manual fishing, which is convenient for operation. Because of the huge water volume and wide water surface, the conventional manual salvage method is not only inef ficient, but also at high risk. In order to solve this problem, a system for removing sewage from the surface of an aquaculture wa ter tank suitable for an aquaculture ship is developed.
