Description

  The present invention relates to a tuna culturing method and an aquaculture dam that increase the survival rate until adult fish by reducing the number of larvae dying in the growth stage by using a ginger having the same shape as the conventional one.

  Migratory fish are tuna, skipjack, yellowtail, kingfisher, amberjack, marlin, sea bass, black sea bream, great egret, mackerel, etc., and these fish generally have a high swimming ability, generation of food, changes in water temperature, breeding season It has been the main catch for fishing in the past. Traditional fisheries depend largely on the reproduction of the natural environment, and their fishing activities are low in productivity and are below the limits of fish reproduction. On the other hand, in the current fishery, production has increased rapidly due to improvement and development of fishing gear, distribution network, and development of frozen storage technology. The fishing ground has also expanded globally, but overfishing of natural resources such as fish The price of fishery resources is rising rapidly due to the depletion of biological resources and the prevention of overfishing.

  Due to the demand for stable supply of biological resources and price stabilization, fish farming and fish farming by fish release have become popular. Aquaculture means artificially raising aquatic organisms such as seafood in the narrow sense, and fish is often raised from eggs or fry. About fish, it is called complete aquaculture to take an egg from an adult fish, to make an adult fish after artificial hatching, and to make an artificial hatch by taking an egg from a large grown fish. In complete aquaculture, it is necessary to conduct research up to the part of how a parent is born and hatched, and experiments on complete aquaculture such as eel and tuna, which were impossible in the past, have been successful. It is still economically advantageous to cultivate larvae from the viewpoint of morphology, individual survival rate, production cost, and total growth time.

  In terms of aquaculture from juveniles, juvenile is an early stage in the growth process of fish. Biologically, larva and juvenile are clearly defined and the next stage of larvae is It is a fry. In general, even if fish grow to the point that the number of ridges and vertebrae reaches a constant number after the late larvae and shows almost the characteristics of the species in the fry, the flecks and colors of the body are still different from the adult fish. Although most of the fish can be cultured from fry, most fish such as bluefin tuna, red sea bream, and trough puffer fish are cultured because of the balance between production cost and sales cost. And Patent Document 2 are disclosed. In addition, there are not many proposals for aquaculture fish such as tuna and skipjack that are migratory fish. For example, Patent Document 3 and Patent Document 4 exist.

  When fry of migratory fish such as tuna and bonito are cultivated with the ginger disclosed in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2, no matter how large the ginger is, the fry is still within the growing period of about half a year to several years. The number of individuals that collide with the net surface of the cage and die from head injury is extremely large, and the survival rate until adult fish is only about 60% at most. On the other hand, in the case of complete aquaculture, even if the same migratory fish grows to fry, the survival rate from then to adults is much higher than that from fry.

  Regarding the problem of fry that collides with the net surface of the ginger, Patent Document 3 discloses a projecting object that allows fish to be recognized along the net surface of the ginger so that large migratory fish such as tuna and bonito do not collide with the net surface. Is forming. Moreover, in patent document 4, as a swimming area | region of cultured tuna, an outer partition net | network is provided in the outer side of an inner partition net | network with a radius of 5 m or more, and an inner and outer partition net | network is arrange | positioned in circular ring shape, and culture | cultivation tuna is carried out inside the circular net. Can swim in a ring at high speed, and avoids colliding with the net surface during high speed swimming.

  In the farming of tuna, even if the ginger disclosed in Patent Literature 3 or Patent Literature 4 is used, the habit of the cultured fish changes from the time of fry in a long breeding period of about half a year to several years, so the survival rate is improved. It can be estimated that it is several percent. Moreover, regarding Patent Document 3, since the tuna is fast swimming, the size of the sacrifice is inevitably large, and it is practical in terms of manufacturing cost to form a protrusion that can be recognized by fish over the entire net surface of the sacrifice. Is lacking. In this respect, Patent Document 4 is substantially the same, and the manufacturing cost of the large-sized annular sacrifice is generally high.

  The present inventor studied various problems of tuna dying within the breeding period in aquaculture cages, and as a result of repeated research over several years according to the investigation, as a result, the problem of larvae dying was found with a very simple structure of a cage. It came to solve. Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a culture method for increasing the survival rate from tuna fry to adult fish by several tens of percent. Another object of the present invention is to provide an aquaculture ginger that uses a large ginger having an inner diameter of 30 m or more and that does not allow the tuna fry to follow the small fish of the feed fish and collide with the net surface.

  In the aquaculture method according to the present invention, when a tuna is cultivated from a fry in an underwater cage, a predetermined number of the fry is released into the underwater cage. If the fry remains in the habit of chasing the small fish of the prey, until the growth stage of the fry progresses and reaches the immature or juvenile stage and the chase of the small fish disappears, at least in the surrounding net part of the ginger Uses a net with a mesh that is small enough to prevent small fish from passing through, and prevents small fish from entering the ginger. In the aquaculture method of the present invention, the cultured tuna is preferably a bluefin tuna, and it is preferable that the bluefin tuna larvae avoid being injured by colliding with the surrounding net portion of the ginger.

  The aquaculture cage according to the present invention has a large size reaching an inner diameter of several tens of meters by partitioning the sea surface with an annular frame body in which buoyancy is maintained and installing a net portion from the frame body in the sea. The fish cage for aquaculture of the present invention is a synthetic fiber net, a peripheral net part, a synthetic fiber net, a bottom net part connected to the lower periphery of the peripheral net part, and attached to the inside of the frame to prevent entry of birds and the like A part of the sea is enclosed with a ceiling net part or a sea surface net part. In this aquaculture cage, the mesh size of the surrounding net is such that the cultured fish cannot escape and the small fish of the feed fish does not enter the cage, and the mesh size of the bottom mesh is Is a size that cannot escape.

  Another aquaculture cage according to the present invention includes a peripheral mesh portion that is a synthetic fiber net, a bottom mesh portion that is a synthetic fiber net and is connected to a lower periphery of the peripheral net portion, and a peripheral net portion after assembling the ginger. An inner net part that is attached to the inner periphery and surrounds the entire peripheral net part, and a ceiling net part or a sea surface net part that is attached to the inside of the frame body and prevents intrusion of birds and the like are included to surround a part of the sea. In this aquaculture cage, the inner mesh portion has a smaller mesh size than the surrounding mesh portion, and the inner mesh size is such that the cultured fish of the fry cannot escape and the small fish of the feed fish does not enter the cage. The size of the surrounding net part and the bottom net part is such that the cultured fish cannot escape.

  Another aquaculture cage according to the present invention is a peripheral net portion that is a synthetic fiber net, a bottom net portion that is a synthetic fiber net and is connected to the lower periphery of the peripheral net portion, and is installed on the inner periphery of the peripheral net portion A part of the sea is surrounded by the superposed net part having one or two layers and a ceiling net part or a sea surface net part that is attached to the inside of the frame to prevent the entry of birds or the like. In this aquaculture cage, the one-layer, two-layer or three-layer polymerization net has a smaller mesh size than the surrounding net, and the innermost polymerization mesh has a small mesh size for fry-cultured fish that cannot escape. The size is such that the fish does not enter the cage, and the size of the surrounding net and bottom net is such that the cultured fish cannot escape.

  In the aquaculture cage according to the present invention, it is preferable that an annular fence net is raised from the frame on the sea surface, and the upper periphery of the fence net is closely connected to the periphery of the ceiling mesh.

  In the aquaculture cage according to the present invention, the mesh size of the peripheral net part, the inner net part or the innermost polymer net part is 3 to 10 mm, preferably 23 to 26 nodes (4 to 8 mm). It is. The depth of the annular peripheral net is preferably 5 to 15 m, and more preferably 7 to 9 m. Moreover, the distance from the sea surface to the net bottom is preferably 8 to 15 m, more preferably 10 to 15 m. The mesh size is the size of the mesh, and in the method expressed by the number of nodules (knots), the size of the mesh is expressed by the number of nodules within 5 dimensions (about 15.1 cm), while 1 In the case of a dimension method that expresses the length of the eye, the size of the first eye is 1 dimension (about 3 cm), and when the dimension is expressed by the dimension, the mesh size increases as the numerical value increases.

  In the aquaculture method according to the present invention, by preventing small fish such as migratory sardines and horse mackerel, which are tuna feed fish, from entering the cage, the cultured fish of the fry chases the small fish and rushes into the surrounding net. To avoid doing. A migratory small fish that is a tuna bait fish will not enter the ginger if it can not pass through the net part around the ginger, even if the tuna fry remains a habit of chasing a small fish that is a prey, There is no rushing at high speed to supplement small fish in the cage, and the fry does not collide with the surrounding net and die. As a result, when the aquaculture method of the present invention is used, the survival rate of the cultured fish is remarkably increased during the entire aquaculture period, and expensive adult tuna fish can be shipped without waste.

  The aquaculture cage according to the present invention only reduces the mesh of the peripheral mesh portion, which is a synthetic fiber net, even if it is a large size reaching an inner diameter of several tens of meters. Since good, the increase in manufacturing cost is relatively small. In the cage for aquaculture of the present invention, a ceiling net part and a fence net part are installed above it, so that small animals and fish swimming on the sea surface fly horizontally and enter the cage, and seabirds and flying fish 1 It is possible to prevent the invasion of the fish and prevent the aquacultured fish from suffering from bird flu.

  When tuna is cultivated from fry using this aquaculture cage, the impact of tuna on the gill net during the tuna breeding stage is drastically reduced, and the outer skin of the fish body and the mucous membrane surrounding it can be removed by contact with the ginger net. Does not happen. For this reason, the resistance of tuna fish to the surface of the fish body is not impaired, and it becomes difficult to suffer from infections caused by viruses or bacteria that are likely to occur during overcrowded cultivation without administration of a vaccine or the like.

1 is a schematic perspective view showing an aquaculture cage according to the present invention. FIG. 2 is a schematic plan view of an aquaculture cage, with a float attached around the frame. It is a general | schematic fragmentary sectional view which shows the principal part of the modification of the cage for aquaculture. It is a schematic side view which expand | deploys and shows the inner side net | network part attached to the inner periphery of a periphery net | network part. It is a fragmentary sectional view similar to FIG. 3 which shows another modification of the fish cage for aquaculture.

  The aquaculture cage 1 according to the present invention is used to cultivate tuna classified into the periwinkle, mackerel family, and Thunnus genus. As this tuna, bluefin tuna, bigeye, southern bluefin tuna, albacore, yellowfin, yellowfin, Examples include Atlantic bluefin tuna and Atlantic bluefin tuna, which include bonito, sodagatsuo, and suma, which are the higher class of tuna, or similar names such as swordfish and common tuna. The ginger 1 is a large-sized one whose inner diameter reaches several tens of meters in order to cultivate a large number of tailed tuna. Usually, the inner diameter of the ginger 1 is 30 to 80 m.

  The ginger 1 can be used not only for tuna but also for cultivating other large-scale high-class fish. It can be installed mainly in the sea, and in large rivers and lakes if it is not a rapid stream. The annular frame 2 of the sacrifice 1 is an octagonal plane steel pipe frame or plastic frame. If the frame itself has buoyancy as shown in FIG. 1, no float is required. If the frame does not have buoyancy, FIG. By attaching a plurality of floats 3 like this, it floats on the sea surface.

  As for the annular frame 2, the steel pipe frame is the most common and has a high degree of design freedom, and has a variety of planar shapes such as a circle, a regular square, a polygon such as a hexagon and an octagon. Steel pipe frames are treated with anti-rust paint or galvanizing to reduce corrosion. The annular frame 2 may be a plastic frame made of high-density polyethylene or the like. For example, in the case of a high-density polyethylene frame, the float itself is not necessary, so a float is unnecessary, and since the metal is not used at all, the service life is semi-permanent. The annular frame may be a high-strength rubber pipe frame, a connected float frame that does not use a frame, or a float support frame that uses a half float.

  In addition to the annular frame 2, the sacrifice 1 is composed of an underwater ceiling net part 5 and a fence net part 7 and an underwater peripheral net part 8 and a bottom net part 10. Use ropes, shimiko, cocoons, and floating barrels. The material fibers of the nets 5, 7, 8, and 10 include natural fibers such as hemp yarn, cotton yarn, silk yarn, silk thread, cocoon yarn, knot yarn, and silk fiber, animal fibers, synthetic fibers, or wire mesh. In most cases, synthetic fiber nets are used. In the case of natural fibers alone, usually the fiber decays quickly due to organic matter adhering to the net, changes in temperature and humidity, and plankton adhering in the summer, so it is necessary to pay close attention to its use and storage. is there. On the other hand, the advantages of synthetic fiber nets are that they do not rot in the sea or water and have a net strength that can withstand harsh environments, and various net surface treatments can be applied to lubricate artificial operations. Is possible.

  There are many types of synthetic fiber networks to be used, and it is necessary to select an optimal fiber material according to the application. Examples of the fiber material include polyamide-based materials such as nylon, polyester-based materials such as Tetron, polyethylene-based materials such as Hi-Zex, and blended yarns including cotton yarn. For example, the peripheral net portion 8 and the bottom net portion 10 which are likely to come into contact with cultured fish include, for example, a relatively soft Cremona yarn (trade name, a blended vinylon and polyester yarn produced by Kuraray) or a spun yarn (cotton yarn and polyamide). Blended yarn with yarn) is preferred. On the other hand, it is desirable that the ceiling net part 5 and the fence net part 7 have a high shape retaining property, and it is also possible to use a wire net for a part or all of them.

  The net structure in the nets 5, 7, 8, and 10 is a general knotted net, and may be a knotless net or a tortoiseshell net. A knotted net is a very common net that generally uses three twisted yarns. The knotted net is divided into different types in the form of knots. There are double-wrapped braided knots and knitted nets that are slippery like Tegs. A knotless net is not a knot, but is generally formed by twisting fibers using two-component yarns. The difference from a knotted net is that there is no knot, so the connecting part is flat and heavy. Is light and not bulky. A knotless net is accurate and smooth, looks good and has little resistance and friction in the water, but if the net is broken, the broken net is easily frayed and it takes time to repair the net. In the case of making a net, the knitting net capacity is slightly inferior to that of a knotted net.

  The peripheral net 8 that hangs down from the annular frame 2 is an octagonal plane similar to the annular frame 2 in FIG. 1, and this planar shape is because the annular frame 2 is a regular octagon. If the peripheral frame section divides the sea surface with another planar shape, the peripheral net portion may be matched with the section shape of the frame body. The peripheral net 8 usually has such a depth that migratory fish cannot easily pass through the lower edge of the peripheral net, and the depth is usually 5 to 15 m, preferably 7 to 9 m. The peripheral network 8 is preferably a knot network made of Cremona or span that is relatively flexible and high in strength.

  The size of the surrounding net part 8 is that the size of the fish that cannot be escaped by the fry and the small fish of the prey does not enter the cage, When the scale is determined so that one-year fish such as horse mackerel cannot pass through, the scale is usually 3 to 10 mm, preferably 23 to 26 nodes (4 to 8 mm). You may adjust suitably the mesh of the periphery net | network part 8 according to the surrounding environment, culture start time, etc. FIG.

  With regard to this peripheral net part, if the mesh size of the peripheral net part is large enough to allow the small fish of the prey to pass through, the other inner net part 14 (FIG. 4) is usually attached after the assemblage is assembled. A fine mesh net may be attached to the net (see FIG. 3). The inner mesh portion 14 may be fixed after being wound around the peripheral mesh portion with an elongated sheet-like mesh, or may be fixed by fitting a cylindrical mesh into the peripheral mesh portion. If the cultured fish grows moderately, the inner net 14 may be removed.

  As shown in FIG. 5, this peripheral net part can be assembled into two or three layers and then assembled as a whole. The mesh size of the peripheral mesh portion is large enough to allow a small fish of the prey fish to pass through, and the small fish cannot pass through the innermost polymerization mesh portion 20 which is a finer mesh size. The intermediate polymer network 18 has a mesh between the peripheral network 16 and the polymer network 20. When the growth of the aquaculture fish progresses and the habit of chasing the small fish disappears, the innermost polymerization net part 20 may be removed first, and if the growth progresses closer to the adult fish, the inner polymerization net part 18 may be removed.

  The bottom net 10 is closely connected to the lower periphery of the peripheral net 8 and forms a bag-like net together with the peripheral net. The bottom net 10 is used to prevent the escape of tuna fry, to check for the tuna larvae that are drowned or diseased during cultivation, and to constantly capture the survival rate of the cultured tuna. The migratory small fish does not enter the sacrifice 1 through the bottom net 10 in the deep sea, so it is not necessary to make the mesh of the bottom net 10 smaller than necessary.

  The bottom net portion 10 is preferably a knotted net made of Cremona or span which is rougher than the peripheral net portion 8, and may be determined to be about 80% of the head of a tuna fry head having a length of about 20 cm. . The depth of the bottom net 10 is determined according to the number of fish to be released together with the depth of the peripheral net 8, and usually the distance from the sea surface to the net bottom is 8-15 m, preferably 10-15 m.

  In the annular frame 2, pillars 6 are erected from the corners, respectively, and a fence net part 7 having a height of 1.5 m is annularly raised from the frame 2 by each pillar. The ceiling net part 5 having a predetermined planar shape is closely attached to the upper periphery of the annular fence net part 7, and the sea surface network is horizontal and adjacent to the sea surface. If this ceiling net part is formed in a dish shape or a dome shape and is directly installed on the annular frame 2, the surrounding fence net part can be omitted. The ceiling net part 5 prevents small animals, fish, seabirds and flying fish that fly from the sea surface together with the fence net part 7 from entering the sacrifice 1.

  Sacrifice 1 is usually not moored to the sea floor because it does not use anchors. There are various methods for mooring the sacrifice, such as a swinging type, a sinking type, and a floating type. The shape of the sacrifice 1 can be changed as appropriate and the position can be determined by mooring. This sacrifice may be moored at one point by a swinging method, and moored with reduced resistance from strong winds and tidal currents. In general mooring, a firm anchor and a side tension are used, a concrete block is used for the anchor, a side frame is stretched with a rope and a float, and a sacrifice is moored on the side frame.

  This sacrifice may sink the side frame to a certain water depth in the sinking type and moor the sacrifice on the side frame. In the floating and sinking method, the sacrifice can be freely sunk and floated by air control. Floating and sinking is a mooring method that alleviates the effects of waves. With this sacrifice, there is no need to spend time and effort on a seasonal wind or typhoon, and for theft prevention and parasite prevention. effective.

  Next, the present invention will be described based on examples, but the present invention is not limited to the examples. FIG. 1 shows an aquaculture cage 1 according to the present invention. The annular frame 2 of the sacrifice 1 is an octagonal plane steel pipe frame or plastic frame having a side of 12 to 20 m, and the inside of the frame is filled with air to maintain buoyancy. When the annular frame 2 itself has no buoyancy, as illustrated in FIG. 2, the annular frame 2 is levitated to the sea surface by a plurality of floats 3 attached around the frame.

  In the annular frame 2, pillars 6 are respectively erected from the corners, and the fence net part 7 is annularly raised from the frame 2 by each pillar, and the height thereof is 1.5 m. For the fence net portion 7, a knotted net or a wire net having a mesh of about 10 nodes (1 to 1.6 cm) is used. The fence net portion 7 is installed to prevent small animals and fish swimming on the sea surface from flying horizontally and entering the sacrifice 1.

  In the annular frame 2, an octagonal plane ceiling mesh part 5 is closely attached to the upper periphery of the annular fence net part 7, and the sea surface network is horizontal and adjacent to the sea surface. The ceiling net part 5 is a knotted net or a wire net having a mesh of 4 to 6 nodes (4 to 6 cm). The ceiling net part 5 prevents the seabirds and flying fishes from entering the cage 1 together with the fence net part 7, and prevents the cultured fish from getting avian influenza.

  The peripheral net 8 is an octagonal plane cylinder similar to the annular frame 2, is suspended from the frame and disposed in the sea, and is usually continuous with the fence net 7. The peripheral net portion 8 is a knotted net made of Cremona or span having a depth of 7 to 9 m and a mesh size of 23 to 26 (4 to 8 mm). It is important that the peripheral net 8 is determined so that one-year fish such as migratory sardines and horse mackerel that are tuna feed fish cannot pass through.

  A bottom net 10 having a substantially inverted truncated cone shape is closely connected to the peripheral net 8. The bottom net 10 is a knotted net made of Cremona or span which is rougher than the peripheral net 8, and may be determined to be about 80% of the head of a tuna fry having a body length of about 10 to 40 cm. . The bottom net 10 is attached to prevent the escape of tuna fry and to constantly capture the survival rate of the cultured tuna. The bottom net part 10 is 10 to 15 m deep from the sea surface together with the peripheral net part 8.

  The sacrifice 1 is normally not moored to the sea floor without using anchors by selecting a mooring location with relatively little current flow. This sacrifice can be moored at one point by a swinging formula and can be moored if the resistance received from strong winds and tidal currents is reduced.

  Cultured bluefin tuna live in the warm waters of the western Pacific including the sea near Japan and lay eggs from spring to summer. The fertilized egg has a spherical shape with a diameter of about 1 mm, and a larva with a total length of about 3 mm hatches in about 32 hours. This larva grows to about 3 cm on the 22nd day after hatching, and reaches about 20-25 cm in length in about 70-74 days. The shape of this fry is almost the same as that of adult fish.

  The fish of bluefin tuna captured in another sea area is released into the sacrifice 1 and farming is started. This tuna fry lived in the natural world, so the habit of chasing prey fish such as sardines and horse mackerels remains, but there is almost no sardines or horse mackerel in the ginger 1 because it does not enter. Therefore, the number of tuna larvae chasing after a small fish and rushing into the surrounding net 8 and drowning drastically decreased during the cultivation period of about one year. After the first year, there will be no conflict by learning. In 2 years of bluefin tuna farming, the survival rate of adult tuna fish exceeded 90%, an increase of more than 20%.

  Since the tuna does not collide with the gill net in the growing stage for about one year, it does not damage the outer skin of the fish body and the mucous membrane surrounding it, making it less susceptible to infections such as irido. For this reason, the survival rate of tuna is further increased.

  FIG. 3 shows an essential part of a modified example of the present invention, and although the whole of the sacrifice having the peripheral net portion 12 is not shown, the overall shape of the sacrifice is almost the same as the conventional one. In this sacrifice, the mesh size of the peripheral net portion 12 is almost the same as that of the bottom net portion (not shown), and although the tuna fry cannot pass through the peripheral net portion, the small fish of the feed fish passes through the peripheral net portion 12. Can enter the sacrifice. This sacrifice is assembled using the peripheral net 12.

  For such a sacrifice, another inner net 14 is attached to the inner periphery of the peripheral net 12 by sewing or the like. The inner mesh portion 14 has an elongated shape as shown in FIG. 4, and its lateral width is substantially equal to the depth of the peripheral mesh portion 12, and its length is approximately equal to the distance of the inner peripheral surface of the peripheral mesh portion 12. The mesh of the inner side net | network part 14 should just be 23-26 nodes (4-8 mm) similarly to the periphery net | network part 8 of Example 1. FIG. The inner net part 14 may be wound around the inner periphery of the peripheral net part 12 and superposed and fixed after assembling the sacrifice.

  When the bluefin tuna fry is released and cultured in this ginger, the sardines and horse mackerel are hardly present in the ginger because they cannot pass through the inner net 14, so the tuna larvae feed the small fish. Chasing and crashing into the surrounding net 12 and drowning drastically decreases. For the tuna fry, if the habit of chasing the small fish disappears, the inner net 14 may be removed. If the inner net portion 14 is removed to make only the peripheral mesh portion 12 having a large mesh size, it becomes easier for the ocean current to pass through the peripheral net portion, and the retention of uneaten feed etc. is reduced, and the inside of the ginger is less likely to be contaminated. Become.

  FIG. 5 shows the main part of another modified example of the present invention, and although the whole of the sacrifice having the peripheral mesh portion 16 and the inner overlapping mesh portions 18 and 20 is not shown, the overall shape of the sacrifice is almost the same as the conventional one. It is the same. The sacrificial can be assembled as a whole after the peripheral net 16 and the polymer nets 18 and 20 are arranged in an overlapping manner.

  In this sacrifice, the mesh size of the peripheral net portion 16 is almost the same as that of the bottom net portion (not shown), and tuna fry cannot pass through the peripheral net portion, but small fish of the prey can pass through the peripheral net portion 16. . The scale of the innermost polymerization net part 20 is 23 to 26 nodes (4 to 8 mm), similar to the peripheral net part 8 of Example 1. The mesh of the other polymerization network 18 is determined so as to be larger than that of the peripheral network 16 and smaller than that of the polymerization network 20.

  When the bluefin tuna fry is released and cultured in this ginger, there is almost no sardines or horse mackerel in the ginger because it cannot pass through the innermost polymerization net part 20. Chasing a small fish and rushing to the surrounding net 16 and drowning drastically decreases. For the tuna larvae, the innermost polymerization net part 20 is removed first when the growth progresses and the habit of chasing the small fish disappears, and the inner polymerization net part 18 is removed when the growth progresses closer to the adult fish. Since the three-layer net 16, 16, and 20 are removed in order from the outside according to the growth of the tuna, the tuna larvae are less drowned, and the ocean currents can easily pass through the surrounding net, thereby further contaminating the inside of the ginger. It becomes difficult to be done.
