Regulate compositions
According to either side or embodiment, the present invention may utilize the adjustment compositions of the species object for regulating aquaculture, including buffer, carbonate buffer solution, salt and electrolyte。
In one embodiment, regulate compositions to be stored in box 350。
Buffer can include trishydroxymethylaminomethane (TRIS)。TRIS (also referred to as THAM) is the abbreviation of the organic compound being called trishydroxymethylaminomethane, and its molecular formula is (HOCH2)3CNH2。Owing to TRIS is biochemical component, and the lactic acid of fish and all animals will not be constituted injury by molecular biosciences, so using TRIS。TRIS is primary amine, therefore experiences the reaction being associated with typical amines, for instance with aldehyde condensation reaction。
TRIS has the acidity coefficient of 8.07 when 25 degrees Celsius, time therefore as buffer, has scope effective pH value between 7.1 to 9.0 according to different plant species。
Favourable buffer scope for tris is conflicted mutually with the characteristic physiological pH value of most of organisms。Tris and low cost thereof make tris be buffer the most general in biology/Biochemistry Experiment room。
In preventing metabolic acidosis, TRIS is used as the sub of sodium bicarbonate。Being dissolved in by TRIS in distillation deionized water, it is the 1/3 to 1/2 of desirable final volume。With mixed in hydrochloric acid (such as the hydrochloric acid of 1 molar concentration), until pH value measuring instrument provides for the desirable pH value of Tris buffer solution。With water, buffer is diluted the desirable final volume to arrive solution。
Carbonate buffer solution can include sodium bicarbonate (sodium bicarbonate)。
KH (carbonate hardness/PH buffering): KH-sodium bicarbonate can be used as KH buffer。Acute variation can keep KH pH of cushioning fluid that acute variation will not occur, owing to once alkaline buffer exhausts suddenly and the pH value dramatic decrease of danger, will be fatal。
Increase these carbonate (or heavy carbonate) buffer can be increased by pH value to point of safes, and the continuous use of specific carbonate buffer solution " mixture " even can increase pH value higher。The increase of pH value and H+With OH-The ratio of ion is correlated with。CO3 -With H+React and remove H+。This reaction can cause more H2O is decomposed into H+With OH-Ion。Owing to there are some OH-Ion, this changes ratio thus raising pH value and making water base (alkalescence)。
In other words: be combined generation KH (carbonate hardness) with alkaline form by metal: KH (or alkalescence) be water to antacid capacity, and KH by such as carbonate, heavy carbonate, hydroxide and is constituted for the compound such as borate and silicate sometimes。
Compared with relatively low KH, higher KH can neutralize more acid produced by the biological processes of fish。
More simply: due to the aspect of a lot of other chemistry, specific KH is kept to cannot ensure that specific pH (due to Tris)。But, the KH remaining suitable for fish can prevent the big ups and downs of pH value。
Compare, when metal and arbitrary substance in addition to the base in conjunction with time form non-carbonate hardness (GH), this is the reason that calcium can not directly raise pH value。
Yeast powder (sodium bicarbonate NaHCO3-) can be used as KH。Sodium bicarbonate can cushion at 8.0-8.2 place。Only a small amount of sodium carbonate absorbs free H+Ion, and this can cause alkalescence (to lack H+Ion)。
In order to stop the too many H of sodium carbonate ion consumption+Ion to keep pH value be 7.0, the yeast powder amount that restriction uses, owing to it has been look for H+Ion consumes。The product used not only comprises sodium carbonate (or sodium bicarbonate), but also uses other trace element such as calcium and magnesium with adequate rate。
Aragonitic carbonate-some carbonate can also be provided。
Epsom salts and crude salt are used for controlling total hardness (GH)。
Total hardness (GH or dGH) refers to the concentration of ordinary dissolution mainly caused by calcium, magnesium and other mineral ions。It is all critically important that calcium and magnesium process for the suitable internal penetration of fish (and invertebrates)。Other ions can be conducive to the water hardness but generally inessential and very difficult measurement。When saying that fish likes " soft water " or " hard water ", it refers to GH rather than KH。Although " hard water " is typically due to some interactions of GH and KH and is alkalescence, GH does not generally directly affect pH value (it should further be appreciated that GH can affect pH value when there is photosynthesis)。
Described salt can include one or more in aragonitic carbonate, magnesium sulfate (Epsom salts), sodium chloride (crude salt)。
Magnesium: magnesium is critically important for the suitable infiltration function in fish and invertebrates。
Magnesium is necessary for the absorption of calcium, and therefore when magnesium level is relatively low, the supply of calcium is depleted。For this, by with calcium appropriate balance in the way of add magnesium (the two for each other be all necessary in suitable use)。
Magnesium is a part for the comprehensive mineral homeostasis of fish, and keeps it in the level (lower than fresh water) of 1200 to 1400 mg/litre in aquarium。
Use the Epsom salts comprising magnesium sulfate in order to treat, such as help to rinse described system, contribute to and accelerate infiltration function due to it and contribute to the fluid removing in health。Sulfate is one of main component of Epsom salts, and it demonstrates effectiveness in promoting toxin expelling。Magnesium is another main component of Epsom salts, for having played certain effect more than the activity of 325 kinds of enzymes。Other demands about magnesium: normal calcium balance in organ;Healthy muscle;Healthy nerve conduction;And the calcium balance of health in blood vessel。
Calcium carbonate will keep more stable electrolyte balance (for infiltration function), and magnesium is another important element synergistic with calcium simultaneously。In the water of transport, the proper content of calcium and magnesium acts on the health of fish energetically。Magnesium and calcium are by reducing internal acidity, it is shown that strengthen the opposing to degenerative disorders。This contributes to preventing mycete and preventing total " consumption " to the fish transported。Calcium also contribute to healing and stress。The calcium that there is correct content in conveying and adjustment water can significantly decrease the toxic and side effects of a lot of toxin in water。
Freedom (ion) calcium existed with rather high concentration in conveying and adjustment water reduces the loss (such as sodium and potassium) of other salt of fluid (i.e. blood) in fish body。Sodium and potassium are most important salt and be very crucial for normal heart, N&M function in fish blood。In low calcium water, these salt of fish meeting large losses are to water。
If calcium and these important element short supplies of magnesium, generally calcium and magnesium via present invention process are maintained at 1200-1400 mg/litre。
Other demands for calcium: calcium is key component in blood coagulation system, and also contributes to wound healing;Calcium contributes to controlling nerve conduction and release neurotransmitter;Calcium is the neccessary composition producing enzyme and hormone, and enzyme and the digestion of hormone scalable, energy and lipid metabolism;Calcium contributes to conveying ion (charged particle) traverse film;Calcium is necessary for muscle contraction;And calcium assists in keeping internal all cells and connective tissue。
Electrolyte can include one or more in magnesium, calcium, sodium, potassium, magnesium, chlorine, phosphate and/or bicarbonate。
Electrolyte: being the molecular substance comprising the free ion being added, it is as conducting medium。
In fish (or other live bodies), electrolytical leading ion is sodium (Na+), potassium (K+), calcium (Ca++), magnesium (Mg++), chlorine (Cl-), phosphate (PO4 -) and bicarbonate radical (HCO3 -)。
Fish and other aquatic organisms need in cell to have delicate and complicated electrolyte balance between the environment of (cell interior) and extracellular such as (such as plasma membrane outside)。Specifically, it is critically important for keeping electrolytical accurate osmotic gradient。These gradients affect and the adjustment hydration of fish, pH value of blood and disease resistance, and be important for suitable N&M function。
Salt is another kind of electrolyte, and it can be used in fresh water, to add some sodium electrolyte to fresh water。
Carbon-dioxide scrubber: carbon-dioxide scrubber is absorbing carbon dioxide (CO2) device。The present invention can use activated carbon as carbon-dioxide scrubber。
Activated carbon is used as carbon-dioxide scrubber。The air of the high carbon dioxide content produced in transport box can blow through active-carbon bed, and carbon dioxide is adsorbed on the activated carbon。Once active-carbon bed saturated, it is possible to recover " regeneration " through bed by blowing the carbon dioxide air of low content。So discharging carbon dioxide from bed, then it can be used for washing again。

Example
1. aquaculture device, system and method (AquaLuminetics)
About the technology of light application time, it is discussed with leading Tasmanian salmon hatchery。The said firm is in world-leading status in cutting techniques is used in aquaculture。The method, device and system are tested。Aqua-Luminetics is described belowTMThe general operation in details, the initial income of its generation and the salmon hatchery, Tasmania tested。
Two devices are used to start the industrial test of aquaculture device on the horizon, system and method。Each device comprises 6 computer-controlled LED, and computer control system 200 is distributed to each in two test flumes。Each test flume holds 60,000 fingerlings。
This device by according to maximize the fingerling speed of growth, effectively control that health is ripe and sexual maturity and maximize fish welfare needed for precise bandwidth and intensity and launch light。Aqua-LumineticsTMElectric power will not be wasted and remove to launch the light of the unwanted bandwidth of fingerling and intensity。
This test uses 2 reference cells, each self-contained with test flume in the fingerling that uses there are 60,000 fingerlings of same size and Maturity。Fingerling in reference cell will be exposed under the conventional illumination control method using metal halide lamp, and the method is used for most of salmons and worldwide aquaculture hatchery。
After three to four months, classification will be carried out from the fish in each in four grooves including 60,000 fingerlings according to length and weight。30,000 minimum fingerlings of maximum 30,000 fingerling from each groove with each groove are separated。They are all placed in different grooves。Now with eight grooves comprising 30,000 fingerlings。As a control group and continue to be exposed under the illumination control using metal halide lamp by four grooves。There are four grooves comprising 30,000 fingerlings being exposed under the inventive method 3-4 month。Continue maximum 30,000 fingerling from each groove to be exposed under the method for the present invention。About reference cell, less 30,000 fingerling from each test flume becomes the troutlet of " jump ", and is no longer exposed to any illumination control。They will comply with the natural maturity of fingerling and within latter 15 months, become troutlet in hatching and enter sea area net cage。
Now maximum 30,000 fingerling from each test flume is placed in bigger container, continues illumination at this and control。In this stage, owing to bigger groove is for holding bigger fish, each in two larger slots is used two Aqua-LumineticsTMSystem。Controlling owing to continuing illumination, these fingerlings are provided the artificial winter reducing illumination and next increase the artificial spring of illumination。They will become troutlet and within latter 10 months, prepare to remove to sea area net cage in they hatchings, be advanced by 5 months than those troutlets stopping being exposed under illumination control when 6 months。
60,000 troutlets from test flume have been constantly exposed to Aqua-LumineticsTMUnder, they are removed to a sea area net cage, they will be grown up at this before capture。Control the speed of growth from reference cell and the fish of test flume and state, until catching them。
At test last of this aquaculture device, system and method, it is clearly shown that the present invention being used in test flume than the metal halide lamp being used on reference cell and consumes the electric power of much less。More importantly, it is exposed to the fish of the present invention to be in optimum state growing up when by them from hatchery transport to sea area net cage and then catch。Scientific research shows, the atlantic salmon being exposed under using the illumination of the present invention to control is catching the growth having 5%-10% in weight。
When considering the mass marketing of salmon industry, it is easy to see the financial meaning that the salmon growth speed 5% to 10% caused by the present invention increases。For single supplier, 5% to 10% increase catching weight is equal to annual income increases millions of dollar。When to consider Tasmania salmon industry annual value of production be 34,000 tons, its represent the whole world salmon output value 1,800,000 ton 1.88% time, it can be seen that Aqua-LumineticsTMPotential。
Expect the test first at once carrying out the species except salmon。Assert that the success of salmon test and the result of scientific experiments that for the bandwidth needed for being exposed to the most of commercial species under illumination controls and intensity will be used。In this market part, it is likely to shortly have sale。
2. aquaculture products regulates device, system and method (Hibernetics)

3. aquaculture products conveyer device, system and method (AWSM)
Applicant completes commercial environment is introduced the plan of AWSM system。Collection and the analysis of AWSM system test result will be carried out。
In Tasmania, 1,002,000,000 troutlets of annual growth 1 thousand to。Each troutlet is worth 2.5 dollars。18,000 troutlets of each Freight Transport from fresh water hatchery to marine park。Each lorry carries 6 grooves, and each groove comprises 3,000 troutlets。Current in Tasmania, almost without difficultly going to guarantee that troutlet is in the situation moved on the way, these situations include, not only suffered by restriction troutlet stress, make, also without providing environment, the environmental change that troutlet can tackle between hatchery and marine park best。
Scientific research institutions' research all over the world proves, the speed of growth after the mortality rate moving troutlet in a week subsequently and transfer is largely subject to the impact of situation when they are transferred。Thus, the resettlement long-term impact on the troutlet speed of growth and total welfare is ensured but without any disclosed research。With the form that the management personnel with Tasmania farmer discuss, rumor advises that impact trends towards being exponentially increased and cause to catch weight reduction 5% to 10% on evidence, and therefore the output value of whole world salmon industry reduces。In Tasmanian salmon industry, this 5% to 10% represent region income reduce 1,500 ten thousand to 3,000 ten thousand dollars。
The transport of troutlet carries out the test of AWSM device, system and method, and troutlet will grow up and catch。Before transportation until they are captured as adult salmon, carry out collection and the analysis of the science data about troutlet。
Three or the mounted AWSM system of the groove equipped with salmon of half in commercial test, on lorry。In the way going to marine park, AWSM system the water in these three groove is processed so that water and the troutlet wherein carried are conditioned。This can make the troutlet being bound in the salt water environment of marine park adapt to new environment, minimizes their probability that and stress reduce they contact diseases simultaneously。
The repeatedly research undertaken by the scientific research institutions of global range finds that the speed of growth of salmon and other species and overall welfare are subject to they impacts of means of transportation in migration。To experiment monitoring and the control of seawater cage is able to demonstrate that the short-term of the present invention and long-term positive role。
AWSM system can include the box of recycling, and it holds the component of the present invention, this component for regulating water, reduce troutlet and be subject to and stress will typically ensure that troutlet is in high-quality state when first time enters in salt water environment。This box, like ink-cases of printers, is a kind of consumptive material。This box is provided by applicant。When being combined use with other aspects of the present invention, this box is expected to bring significant benefit for whole world aquaculture industry。
In the atlantic salmon industry of Tasmania, there are 4,000 independent grooves loading troutlet, they are transport and each groove needs box according to the present invention between fresh water hatchery and salt water marine park every year。When considering the seafood quantity that the whole world migrates, the benefit of AWSM system is obvious。The every day in each year, the notable actively difference of the present invention welfare of all species, comfort level and the speed of growth to being transferred is huge。
4. for the concrete adjustment for species of the 1st, 2 and 3 aspects。
Have studied the concrete regulation scheme of species。Such as, for atlantic salmon, Halichoeres, barramunda, Corallium Japonicum Kishinouye Squaliobarbus ourriculus and cabrilla, have studied concrete species scheme。Because it is found that the waters that they exist is different, the requirement of all temperature and buffer is also different。Buffer is controlled by the probe in unit and measuring instrument。
In all test cases, it is possible to control the pH value of water and blood so that prevent stress。
5. troutlet transfer:
Need when troutlet shifts to consider a lot of variable, including the water state etc. that the individual size of troutlet, water temperature, transfer length and the plant at destination, salmon growth locate。The most important thing is troutlet quality before transfer。Troutlet should be that health status is good, and should remove the troutlet of any injured or ill。
It is loaded into the period in transfer groove, it is important that minimize the stress of troutlet。Carrying out in troutlet transfer and surrounding afterwards, it should complete documentation mortality rate, food intake, behavior event, disease etc.。
Salmon should be made before transfer to be subject to starve minimum 72 hours, to clear up the intestines and stomach and to reduce metabolic activity (excretion etc.)。
When the control of water quality has in limited time very much, the memory density in transportation system should be not every more than 70 kilograms 1000 liters。During use AWSM system, memory density can increase。The size increased depends on distance and the water temperature etc. of transfer。
In water, the troutlet of transfer away from pathogen and solid etc., and should use mechanical filtration systems and uviol lamp etc. to be filtered。
During transfer that the oxygen supply of troutlet is extremely important, and about 100% should be maintained at。Which decrease the toxicity of carbon dioxide and nitrogenous waste。
Blower fan injects pure oxygen for the speed rising to up to 4 Liter Per Minutes with every 300 kilograms of troutlets about 2, to keep oxygen supply in desired level。
Transfer should carry out in temperature relatively low winter and early spring。For controlling the scope used widening troutlet transfer of the AWSM system of water temperature。
Heating and refrigeration system have the scope of 4 DEG C to 28 DEG C, have 0.5 DEG C differential。
Before transfer, it should cooling transfer water so that it is between 7 degree to 16 degree。More cold more good, because so can reduce the metabolism of troutlet, but described low spot is the restriction factor of amount of cooling water possible carry out。
Troutlet should not experience more than 0.5 degree of variations in temperature hourly。Therefore, when water is cooled down it is also contemplated that the temperature of transfer distance and transfer destination。
During troutlet shifts, keep carbon dioxide level, 15 milligrams per liter can be maintained below。In a preferred embodiment, carbon dioxide level keep below 10 milligrams per liter, lower than 5 milligrams per liter or lower than 2 milligrams per liter。
Aeration can be used for removing carbon dioxide from transfer water。PH buffer TRIS is used with every liter of ratio shifting about 2 grams of water。PH value can be buffered and be maintained at 7.6 to 7.8。In order to realize desired pH, it is possible to hydrochloric acid is mixed with TRIS solution, until reaching desired pH。The pH value of this level is generally more stable, but can reduce the effect to troutlet of total ammonia nitrate (TAN)。
Regulated fluid can comprise magnesium and the calcium of 1000 to 1400 mg/litre。Form with calcium chloride and magnesium hydroxide is performed by this。
Commercial sea salt mix can be used for the salinity increase of transfer water to the 1ppt (thousand/) before transfer troutlet to full strength sea water (32ppt)。The feed pump being maintained at by saline solution in independent groove and control through computer injects transfer groove (water)。Preferably but necessarily, saline allotment is carried out before transportation in hatchery。
In the example of saline transfer, protein separator/foam fractionator can use together with ozone injection, to remove Organic substance, QI prostration carbon dioxide and to increase the Oxygenation of water。
Water temperature can be controlled, troutlet transfer is allowed to the change of 1 to 1.5 degree per hour。
6. the control of ammonia:
In order to control the ammonia produced, following combination will be used。In fresh water, it is possible to use zeolite or activated carbon。The biological ratio with water and journey time can be calculated, to guarantee to have enough water to be diluted。As a part for the method for the present invention, fish can be carried out bowel relieving before shipping。The bowel relieving time can be 48 hours or more。Water temperature can be reduced, to reduce metabolic rate, thus reducing the ammonia that fish produces。
The salinity of sea water can be reduced, to change the pH value of water, and reduce the permeation-exchange occurred in fish, this so that the generation of ammonia can be reduced。By temperature or chemically fish is carried out local anesthesia, to reduce the generation of metabolic rate and ammonia。Transparency by restricting glass fibre groove can reduce the light in water。In transfer, LED can be used for observing and/or make troutlet quiet。In transfer, the probiotic bacteria more than six hours can be used for being placed in water addicted to oxygen bacterium, and suppresses to cause the pathological bacteria of fin rot disease or other diseases or situation。To groove slight pressurization, can be dispersed in water with auxiliary oxygen and make troutlet to adapt to move about under the surface。When unloading it is important that minimize the stress of troutlet。
7. groove design
When by fiberglass construction, except the pyrite inlayed and 316 rustless steels, in cell wall, should there be other metalworks。These metalworks should be covered by the glass fibre of at least 5 millimeters。Inside and outside should be smooth and be not likely to scratch the glass fibre of fish or hands。The ID size of groove should allow ready-made plastics venting plate to be layered in inside。Being similar to the Nelly fish box of lid or lobster basket or chicken coop, it is no less than 100 millimeters deep, it is preferable that 130 millimeters。
Interior corners can have the radius being not more than 100 millimeters so that net is not over edge, and water and air can pass through from net。Preferably, it is fitted without being removed the adnexa being cleaned in the bottom of groove, for instance there is no heat exchanger。Trench bottom can have the ring or circle that are mounted to the layering stop block separated with base plate, rather than glass fibre retainer ring or fixing point are directly fixed to cell wall or bottom。
The ID size that drain pipe or screwed hole should have is the normally used size of salmon culturist, 100 millimeters or 150 millimeters of ID, has taper pipe thread to accept PVC male valve seat。If be made of plastics, ABS should do not used, unless for Selwyn Lloyd ship parameter, but PVC or polyethylene can be used。
Lid should be positioned at its position that can be fixed to downwards inward flange so that any leakage can occur on inside case。Japan's live fish truck has very deep inward flange (80 millimeters to 100 millimeters), and there is the drain pipe of outside from inward flange to groove 15 millimeters to 20 millimeters, this drain pipe is connected to flexible pipe, and the sea water of spillage is removed by this flexible pipe from haulage truck or trailer。The liner of lid should be positioned in lid flanges, rather than in the slot lip of reality, otherwise when loading chest or having personnel to stand in slot lip, it can damage over time。Liner is arranged on lid。
Some conveying troughs have window on lid, but it is only for seeing the dead fish swimming on the water surface。Foam and sunlight reflection make hardly possible traverse top cover observe。The high light at top can disturb the live fish of inside and cause reaction of flight。When having side window, side window can fix bright acrylic acid or safety glass in inside, bear from water weight stress。Window-blind/black thing can be set and cover window, to stop light and heat insulation。
Groove can include be arranged on outside groove by the lug of engineers design, and even meet and lifted by helicopter or air standard aboard is installed。Wall within groove can be made multiple tongue, to arrange net sept, to keep various sizes of fish to separate。
Built-in LED can be used for helping to control reaction of flight, and contributes to checking groove at night through window。Cell wall and substrate (lid can be thinner) can be heat insulation, to arrange the R value styrenic foams (usual water temperature for 3 DEG C, and external temperature is 40 DEG C) equal to 50 millimeters。
Be used for drinking tank there is the glass fibre of same size, and steam or other device fast setting are preferably used, were used before for live fish。Or, use vehicular heat pump by heating of seawater to 30 DEG C, and in groove, keep circulation three days, be then poured onto rubbish place。
In order to install filter, heat exchanger, aerating system, following object can be used。Gas circuit pipe/trough connection part (usual 10 millimeters to 15 millimeters) is installed on highland on cell wall as far as possible, to reduce the head pressure on waterproof case。Any electric compressor sealing gasket should comply fully with IP68, and rubber gasket is necessary for polyfluoroprene or similar material, to be protected from ozone/pure oxygen and chlorine/muriatic damage。Preferred heat exchanger is made of titanium, and the end of permission 100 millimeters all the time is in outside, to be connectable to refrigeration copper tube when needs carry out any repairing。It is placed on the probe of the thermostat in groove and should be at least 10 millimeters of ID, it is preferred to 12 millimeters and be made of titanium。Inside groove end can be curling and weld。In one embodiment, medial wall is installed one or more titanium heat exchanger, itself or there is less 120 millimeter maximum outside diameter coil or the flatwise coil of removable plastic tube or sidewall so that the air risen can pump up water from trench bottom through heat-exchanger coil。
The design of foam fractionator/protein separator can be placed in these pipe fittings, with the Organic substance cleaned in water and get rid of excessive smelly oxygen and carbon dioxide。
Can also there is vertical pipe fitting, water medium in the mesh bag of zeolite and activated carbon is pumped up by it。Preferably, assembly of the invention is suitable to be permitted for international aircraft, owing to transportation of live fish has identical parameters with being used for transporting Corallium Japonicum Kishinouye Squaliobarbus ourriculus alive。This can use motor that is brushless and that do not produce Radio frequency interference。Such as use the air pump that AC magnetism drives for aeration, but they have only 5 pounds/square inch (33.5 kPas) maximum stress shortcoming。
Any aeration tube entered in groove must have online check-valves, and when the water of whole groove be pushed into downwards when the air of trench bottom stops and causing that water is back to the bounce-back of air hose, this bounce-back can with catastrophic result return air intake pump。Diaphragm type magnetic drive pump is actually insusceptible。
Noting, the transportation of live fish groove on aircraft allows for being in 45% angle and will not leaking from the vent for ventilation etc. lid。As previously described, it is possible on lid, place relief valve (owing to groove aeration must be ventilated), use in snorkel in BC company design or watertight suit。Then tank systems is pressurizeed, artificially to produce the head of 1.5 meters。Groove lid flange seal mattress system is preferably able to bear the head of 3 to 5 meters。
Can carefully selecting the air diffuser/Bubbled stone used in the present invention, because if wanting to carry out fine aeration, when there is no air, water can back into bubbler, is moved back into pore and blocks bubbler by impurity/subtitle substance band。The bubbler used in sewage disposal and in the conveying of fresh and alive Anguillar japonica can have rubber membrane with holes, its expansion discharge air, but when there is no air Hui Guan loop circuit and as check-valves。
Be preferably positioned at the plastic tube on the base plate of groove and do not comprise glass fibre, due to for glass fibre composite, as a consequence it is hardly possible to use its roller remove all air pockets and therefore at seam it may happen that leakage。
8. for the parameter of example salmon transfer
