Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、海藻類を中心とする藻場(海中林ともいう)を造成し、魚介類の繁殖をもたらすべく海中環境を改善するための技術に係り、立体的で永続性のある藻場の形成が可能な藻場造成用構造物に関する。詳しくは、柱状部分を備え、海藻の着生床として機能し得るコンクリートブロックなどの構造体(本明細書において「骨格構造体」と称する。)とこの骨格構造体に対して簡便に取着することのできる海藻種苗担持具とから構成され、取着後の海藻種苗担持具が海流等でずれ動くのを確実に防止することにより、海藻種苗の骨格構造体への早期着生を助け、その海藻種苗を核として周囲に海藻を繁茂させ、藻場を造成するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
現在、我国においては沿岸漁業の振興が重要な課題であり、魚介類、海藻類の増殖および養殖が図られている。しかるに、沿岸部においては種々の原因によって藻場が消滅し、藻場を生活の場としている魚介類が激減する、いわゆる「磯焼け」と呼ばれる現象が各地に拡大している。
【0003】
一般に、海藻は比較的浅い海底の岩石表面に着生し、そこで繁殖する。ところが、磯焼け海域では近くに母藻が存在しないため胞子の供給源がないことや、岩石が石灰藻で覆われ、海藻が着生し難いこと等により生育環境がきわめて悪い。また、砂泥質の海域では海藻の生育は元々困難である。したがって、このような磯焼け海域での藻場の再生や砂泥海域での藻場造りにおいては、海藻の導入を図ることが重要である。
【0004】
従来、藻場の造成方法としては、海中に種々の工夫を施した培養体を設置し、その培養体に海藻が自然着生するのを待って造成する方法などが知られている(実公平3−56199号、実開平4−71448号)。しかしながら、これら従来方法は、自然着生に依存するため、特に重要な造成初期における海藻の着生状態が不確定な自然的要素によって大きく左右されるばかりか、造成に時間がかかるといった造成効率や確実性の点において根本的な問題があった。
【0005】
そこで、ワカメ養殖で用いられている種苗糸と呼ばれる細い撚糸に予め造成用海藻の幼体を着生させ、この種苗糸をコンクリートブロック等からなる造成用構造物の適宜位置にそのまま巻き付けて海中に沈設することにより、その海藻種苗を核として造成用構造物の表面に海藻を着生させようとする試みがなされている。しかしながら、この従来方法は、造成用構造物への前記種苗糸の取着作業がきわめて困難かつ不安定であり、特に海中に設置済みの造成用構造物に対して適用することはほとんど困難であった。また、取着後においても、造成用構造物に対する種苗糸の取着状態に少しでも問題があると、細い糸状で形状的に不安定であることから、その問題個所から取着状態の悪化が拡大して簡単に流出してしまうといった欠点があり、特に種苗糸自体の強度がほとんどないことから、海藻種苗がごく小さな幼体の状態で取着作業を行わなければならず、順調に着生しないことが多く、造成の成功率が低いものであった。このため、従来方法は、海藻種苗の導入方法としては、実用化が進んでいないのが実情である。
【0006】
そこで、本出願人は、合成樹脂等の弾性素材からリング状の担持具を形成し、その担持具に予め海藻種苗を担持させた状態で、造成用構造物(骨格構造体)の柱状部分に取着することにより海藻種苗を造成用構造物に着生させ、この着生した海藻種苗を核として藻場造成を行うことを既に提案している(特開平10−136813号公報参照)。この海藻種苗担持具を用いた藻場造成では、造成用構造物に対する海藻種苗の取着作業やその後の海藻種苗の生育の点において従来方法に比べて大幅に改善され、良好な成果が得られている。
【0007】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
ところで、海藻類は、仮根が着生床にしっかりと付着した状態でないと、良好な生育は望めない。このため、上記海藻種苗担持具を造成用構造物に取着した場合では、構造的に安定している柱状部表面に海藻種苗の仮根を可及的速やかに付着させることが特に重要であり、その成否が藻場造成に要する期間およびその成功率に大きな影響を与える。即ち、取着直後の海藻種苗担持具では、海藻種苗の仮根が柱状部表面には付着していないことから、その形状や柱状部に対する取着方法によっては、海流等によりずれ動く虞がある。このような状態が続くと、造成用構造物への海藻種苗の着生が遅れ、その後の生育にも影響するばかりか、繁茂する前に食害等により消滅する危険性が高まるので、造成用構造物に対する海藻種苗担持具の取着状態は、藻場造成においてきわめて重要な要素の一つである。取着に時間がかかっても支障がなければ、確実に固定することはそれほど困難なことではないが、造成用構造物を沈設する直前に取着する場合には、特に海藻種苗が小さいものではダメージを受けやすく空気中に置くことのできる時間が僅かなため、前記条件に加えて簡便に取着できるものでなければならない。
【0008】
本出願人は、上記海藻種苗担持具の取着方法について鋭意検討した結果、本発明による藻場造成用構造物に想到したのである。即ち、海藻の着生基体として機能し得る骨格構造体に対して、海藻種苗担持具を簡便に取着することができながら、取着後にはその担持具がずれ動いたりすることがなく、短期間に海藻種苗を骨格構造体に着生させることにより、高い成功率で海中の有効利用につながる立体的な藻場の造成を図ることをその目的とするものである。
【0009】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記課題を解決するため、本発明では、ブロック状の基盤に少なくとも1本の柱状部を立設した骨格構造体に、海藻種苗を担持基体に着生させた海藻種苗担持具を当該柱状部外周面の適宜位置に略環状に取着してなる藻場造成用構造物において、前記海藻種苗担持具が、滑り止め手段を介して取着されることを特徴としている。即ち、本発明による藻場造成用構造物では、柱状部に取着された海藻種苗担持具がその取着位置に保持され、海流等により柱状部の周方向あるいは上下方向にずれ動くことはないので、施工直後の時点では海藻種苗担持具の担持基体のみに付着していた海藻種苗の仮根が、順調に伸長して柱状部表面にまで到達し、ここで確実に付着した後、柱状部を着生床として生育を続けることになる。
【0010】
そして、上記藻場造成用構造物では、海藻種苗が着生した海藻種苗担持具を骨格構造体の柱状部外周の適宜位置に嵌着することにより、その海藻種苗を造成の核として周囲に海藻を繁茂させるもので、柱状部の存在により、海中林と称するにふさわしい立体的な藻場を高い成功率で造成が可能である。すなわち、造成用構造物の柱状部に適宜数の海藻種苗担持具を取着する形で海底に海藻種苗を導入することにより、海域の単位面積当りの海藻種苗の導入量を大きくすることができる。そして、海底に設置された柱状部の付近では海流が変化し、柱状部の下部から上方に向けての湧昇流が生じやすいことから、酸素や栄養分が万遍なく行き渡り、また海藻の水深に対する生育条件も充足しやすいため、造成の成功率はきわめて高い。さらに、海底の砂泥の堆積により柱状部下方の海藻が埋没しても上部に着生している海藻が残り、またウニ等の藻食性動物による食害も受けにくく、造成用構造物をコンクリート等の耐久性の高い素材で形成した場合には、造成の核となる海藻が世代交代をしながら長期にわたり残るので、永続性のある藻場を造成することができる。
【0011】
前記海藻種苗担持具の滑り止め手段としては、請求項1の発明では、前記柱状部の外周面に周溝を形成するとともに、その周溝の一部に前記担持基体側に係合し得る凹部又は凸部を設けて、前記海藻種苗担持具が前記柱状部に対して上下方向にも周方向にも滑り止めされた状態に取着するという技術手段を採用した。また、請求項2の発明では、前記柱状部の外周面にテーパ状の周溝を形成するとともに、そのテーパ面に当接し得る突起を前記担持基体に設けて、前記海藻種苗担持具が前記柱状部に対して上下方向にも周方向にも滑り止めされた状態に取着するという技術手段を採用した。さらに、請求項3の発明では、前記柱状部の外周面に周溝を形成し、その周溝の底面の一部をスロープ状に突出させるとともに、前記担持基体の内周面に前記スロープ状突出部と掛合する突起を設けて、前記海藻種苗担持具が前記柱状部に対して上下方向にも周方向にも滑り止めされた状態に取着するという技術手段を採用した。
【0012】
次に、本発明で用いる海藻種苗担持具とは、予め海藻種苗を着生させ海中において適宜大きさになるまで育成した適宜長さのロープやホース等の紐状体を、棒状、帯状等の適宜断面形状で略環状あるいは直線状の担持基体の少なくとも一部に付設したものである。ここで、担持基体としては、合成樹脂等の可撓性材料を用いてC字状等の一個所が開放した略環状に形成し、その開放端部間を広げることにより当該柱状部に対して横方向からの取着が可能であるもの、また同様な素材を略帯状に形成し、その担持基体に海藻種苗が着生している紐状体を付設した状態で柱状部への取付時にその周面に沿わせて環状に湾曲して取着するもの、さらに無端状の環として形成され、柱状部に対してはその上端部から挿入するものなど、幾つかのタイプがある。なお、前者の略環状あるいは略帯状のような有端状基体では、素材自身が有する弾性あるいは端部に設けた掛止手段などにより、柱状部への取着後もその環状状態を保持し得るものであればよく、竹材、合成樹脂、ゴム、金属などの可撓性素材から適宜長さ・形状に形成される。合成樹脂の具体例としては、ポリアミド系樹脂、熱可塑性エラストマー、ポリウレタン、ポリオレフィン系樹脂などが挙げられる。そして、それらの帯状あるいは棒状等の有端状基体の端部に、環状状態を保持するための連結手段を設けることにより、骨格構造体の柱状部に対する取付作業が容易になるとともに、より強固に環状状態で取着することができる。なお、素材自身が有する弾性復元力による保持力のみに依存してもよいが、例えば長手方向の一部を略U字状等に湾曲させて膨出することで、弾性復元力をより一段と増すようにしてもよい。また、基体端部の連結手段に長さ調整機能を付加することにより、骨格構造体の柱状部外径に対する適用範囲を大きくすることもできる
【0013】
また、上記担持基体に付設する海藻種苗を着生させた紐状体とは、一般にワカメ養殖などにおいて広く行われている方法を応用し、例えば海藻胞子が浮遊する水槽内にクレモナ(商品名)等の海藻胞子の付着に適した種苗糸等の付着基材を浸漬してこれに海藻胞子を付着させて発芽させた後、その付着基材をそのままロープやホースなどの適度な太さを有する紐状の担体(本発明ではホース等の中空状のものも紐状に含むものとする。)に螺旋巻きするなどして添着し、これを海中に水平に設置したり吊り下げるなどして、その担体に海藻幼体の仮根が付着して移植に耐えうる程度の適宜大きさになるまで育成したものである。なお、その大きさは、海藻の種類、施工時期、造成区域の環境により異なるが、一般的には葉状部の長さが10cm程度以上が望ましい。そして、前記担持基体への付設は、骨格構造体の柱状部と係合する面を除いた場所であればよく、例えば外周側に位置する面のほぼ全長に渡って沿わせたり、あるいは担持基体の所々に設けてもよく、長尺の紐状体の状態で海中にて育成したものを、必要な時に適宜長さに切断して使用する。このため、基本的には海藻種苗担持具の状態で養生する必要はないので、生産に必要なスペースが少なくて済む。なお、前記担持基体に対する固定手段は、例えば柱状部に取着したときに外側となる担持基体の面に複数の鉤状部を所定間隔で形成してその内部に嵌入したり、あるいは別途ファスナーを使用して担持基体と紐状体とを結束するようにしてもよい。ここで用いる海藻の種類としては、アラメ、カジメ、クロメ等のコンブ科海藻が好ましく、その中でもツルアラメが特に好適であるが、もちろんコンブ科海藻に限らず他の種類の海藻でも広く適用が可能である。
【0014】
また、海藻の着生床となる骨格構造体は、例えば適宜形状のコンクリート基盤にコンクリート柱を立設したもの、あるいは格子枠状に形成された並型漁礁、またテトラポッド(商品名)など、要は柱状部分を有する構造物であれば海藻種苗担持具の取着対象となる。それら骨格構造体の素材としては、コンクリートの他に金属、木材、合成樹脂等の使用が可能であり、また柱状部の断面形状は円形に限らず多角形としたり、その内部を中空状にしてもよい。なお、柱状部の断面形状を多角形とした場合には、前記海藻種苗担持具における担持基体も当然それに適合した形状となり、基本的には周方向への摺動は生じないので上下方向の摺動のみを考慮すればよい。そして、これら骨格構造体に対する前記海藻種苗担持具の取着作業は、目的とする海域に骨格構造体を沈設した後に海中において行うか、あるいは予め台船上で取着するなど、その時期は特に限定されない。
【0015】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、図面に基づき本発明の実施の形態について説明する。図1は、本発明による藻場造成用構造物の一実施例を示す正面図で、図2はその要部を示す斜視図である。本発明による藻場造成用構造物1は、骨格構造体2と海藻種苗担持具10から構成される。ここで、骨格構造体2はコンクリート等から形成された基盤3に同様な素材からなる円形の柱体4を互いに所定の間隔をおいて複数本立設したものである。この基盤3の形状としては、矩形、十字形、三つ又状、六角形など適宜形状のものが選択される。また、図2に示すように柱体4は円柱状で、その外周面には所定の間隔で周溝5が形成され、その一部が不連続で突出部6となっている。なお、柱状部4は実施例のような円柱の他に四角柱等の角柱でもよいが、その場合には後述する海藻種苗担持用具における担持基体の形状もそれに応じて多角形に形成されることは言うまでもない。因みに骨格構造体2における柱状部4の長さは4m前後が好適であるが、設置場所の水深、使用する海藻種苗の種類等によっては適宜変更する。さらに、実施例では基盤3の底面以外の面と柱状部4の表面には養藻塗料が塗布されている。養藻塗料としては、一般の化成肥料を含む塗料でもよいが、例えば本出願人の提案になる光合成細菌、多孔質粒子を用いた担体および当該光合成細菌の栄養成分からなる水域環境改善用塗料(特開平5−247378号公報参照)が適用可能である。この塗料を塗布した場合には、海藻類の高い着生率を維持し、かつ海藻の生育に必要な栄養分を長期間にわたり安定的に供給することができるので、藻場造成の核となる海藻種苗を育成する上で好都合であるが、必ずしも塗布する必要はない。
【0016】
前記骨格構造体2に取着される海藻種苗担持具10は、適度な弾性を有する合成樹脂により略C字状のリングとして形成された担持基体11の表面に適宜手段により海藻種苗12を着生させたもので、骨格構造体2の各柱状部4に設けられた周溝5に、担持基体11の両端部間に突出部6が係合するように嵌着される。なお、担持基体11の幅およびその長さは、各柱状部4の周溝5にほぼ近い寸法に形成されている。装着に当たっては、担持基体11の両端部を弾性に抗して拡げ、その間から柱状部4の周溝5に嵌めてもよいし、柱状部4の上端部から外嵌してもよい。これにより、海藻種苗担持具10は周溝5内に確実に固定され、海流を受けても柱状部4の上下方向および周方向の何れの方向にも動くことはない。
【0017】
図3ないし図7は、それぞれ本発明による藻場造成用構造物の他の実施例の要部を示す図である。図3に示す藻場造成用構造物では、海藻種苗担持具20として、前記実施例と同様な弾性素材からなるC字状の担持基体21の一部が径方向外方に略U字状に膨出した膨出部22を備えたものを用い、骨格構造体の柱状部23の周溝24内に嵌入してその一部に設けられた突出部25と膨出部22とを係合することにより周方向の摺動を防止している。図4に示す藻場造成用構造物では、前記両実施例とは逆に海藻種苗担持具30の担持基体31に突起32が設けられるとともに、柱状部33の周溝34の底面には凹部35が形成され、両者の係合により周方向の摺動を防止するようになっている。また、図5に示す実施例では、海藻種苗担持具40の担持基体41の側縁部分に切欠部42を設け、柱状部43には周溝44の周縁部分に突起45を形成し、それらを係合させるようにしてもよい。さらに、これら実施例のような凹部と凸部の掛合に基づく滑り止め手段に代えて、図6および図7のように摩擦によるものでもよい。即ち、図示の藻場造成用構造物では、両端に環状状態を保持するための連結手段(図示せず)を有する有端状の海藻種苗担持具50の担持基体51の両側縁部分にそれぞれ所定の間隔で突起52が形成されるとともに、柱状部53の周溝54の両周縁部分がテーパ面55として形成され、連結時の締付けによりそれら突起52がテーパ面55に対して弾発的に当接することにより滑り止めを行うものである。
【0018】
図8ないし図10は、本発明による藻場造成用構造物の別の実施例に係り、このうち図8と図9は海藻種苗担持具60における担持基体61を示すそれぞれ平面図と正面図である。図示の担持基体61は適度な弾性を有する合成樹脂により一部が開放した帯状のリングとして形成され、その一端部に鉤状突起62が、また他端部には前記鉤状突起62を受け入れて環状に連結保持するための掛止孔63がそれぞれ設けられている。さらに、外側面の5個所には後述する紐状体(図10参照)を掛止するための略L字状の受部64が突設され、この受部64の先端の内側には突起65が形成されるとともに、この突起65に対向するように本体の外周面にも軸心方向に突起66が設られている。また、本体の中間部分の2個所に略U字状の膨出部67が外側に向けて突設され、さらに本体の受部64の内面側には、摺動防止のための3個の突起68がほぼ等間隔で軸方向に向けて形成されている。なお、実施例では本体の各端部近傍に一対の把手69が突設され、また本体の3個所に連結手段70が設けられている。この連結手段70は、運搬や一時保管の際に、嵩張らないように複数の海藻種苗取付具60を積み重ねて連結するような場合に利用され、この連結手段70に設けられた貫通孔にプラスチックモノフィラメント等の適宜の線材を通すことにより簡単に連結することができるようになっている。
【0019】
そして、図10に示すように、上記担持基体61の外周面に沿って紐状体80を付設したものが海藻種苗担持具60である。この紐状体80は、ワカメ養殖などで広く行われているロープ養殖法を利用して得られるもので、その表面には幼体以上に成育した多数の海藻種苗81が着生している。その製造方法は、まず海藻胞子が浮遊している陸上の水槽内において、繊維質で海藻胞子の付着に適した適宜な種苗糸等の付着基材を浸漬してこれに海藻胞子を付着させて発芽させた後、その付着基材をそのままロープやホースなどの適度な太さを有する紐状の担体に螺旋状に巻き付け(図示せず)、次にこれを海中に設置し、海藻幼体の仮根が担体にしっかりと定着して移植に耐えうる大きさになるまで育成したものである。この紐状体80の前記担持基体61への付設は、担持基体61の外側面に沿うようにして5個所の受部64に上方から嵌入すると、受部64の先端内側に形成された突起65により抜け止めがなされ、それと同時に受部64に対向して設けられた突起66により径方向の移動が阻止されるようになっている。なお、紐状体80は必ずしも担持基体61の全周に渡って設ける必要はなく、受部64の幅よりも多少大きな長さに切断してそれぞれの受部64に嵌入したり、あるいはそのうちの幾つかに嵌入してもよい。なお、前記各実施例における海藻種苗担持具についても、担持基体自体に海藻種苗を直接着生させる代わりにそれぞれの担持基体に上記紐状体80の取付が可能な適宜形状の受部を設けて付設するようにしたり、あるいは担持基体に紐状体80を沿わせた状態で別途ファスナー等により結束一体化してもよい。
【0020】
また、上記海藻種苗担持具60が取着される骨格構造体の柱状部90には、担持基体61の幅に近い周溝91が外周面の適宜位置に設けられ、さらに周溝91の底面の三個所にスロープ状突出部92がほぼ等間隔で且つ同一方向に向けて立ち上がるように形成されている。そして、海藻種苗担持具60を柱状部90に取着するには、初めに担持基体61の内面にある3個の突起68が柱状部90のスロープ状突出部92と重ならない位置において、柱状部90が内部を貫通した状態で担持基体61の両端に設けられた鉤状突起62と掛止孔63を、それらの近くに設けられた一対の把手69を用いて引き寄せながら掛合させ、有端状であった担持基体61を環状状態にする。このとき、担持基体61の中間部分の2個所に設けられた略U字状の膨出部67が適宜開くことにより、柱状部90の周溝91の外径に多少の変動があっても確実に適用することができる。次いで、環状状態の海藻種苗担持具60を時計方向に回転させると、担持基体61の内面にある3個の突起68が柱状部90のスロープ状突出部92に当接し、その斜面上の適宜位置で係止される。これにより海藻種苗担持具60は確実に固定される。即ち、本実施例では、海藻種苗担持具60の取着にそれほど大きな力を必要とせずに簡単に取着することができ、しかも柱状部90の取付位置の寸法公差にも余裕がありながら、確実に固定することができるものである。なお、担持基体61を構成する素材の弾性によって充分開くことができれば、膨出部67は不要である。このようにして固定されると、海流を受けたときでも何れの方向にもずれ動くことはないので、海藻種苗81の仮根は順調に伸長して柱状部90の表面に確実かつ短期間に定着する。
【0021】
これら藻場造成用構造物においては、海藻種苗担持具に着生している多数の海藻種苗の仮根が伸長して柱状部に定着し、そこで成長して成熟すると、胞子を放出して基盤3やその周囲に海藻が繁茂するようになる。この造成方法によれば、藻場造成の核となる海藻が、所定位置に設置された骨格構造体のほぼ垂直方向に立設している柱状部を着生床としていることから、湧昇流等の影響で良好に生育し、しかも骨格構造体が永久構造物であるためそこで順調に世代交代が行われ、長期間に渡って存在し、周囲にたくさんの胞子を放散することになる。なお、藻場造成用構造物の周囲に岩礁等の着生床がない場所では、捨て石等をその周囲に布設するのが望ましく、大規模な藻場の造成を図る場合には、この藻場造成用構造物の多数を相互に適宜間隔で設置したり、あるいは複数の藻場造成用構造物を群としてまとめ、その複数群間に魚網の投入が可能な間隔をあけて設置するようにしてもよい。上記第1実施例では、骨格構造体2のすべての柱状部4に海藻種苗担持具10を取着した場合について説明しているが、特に短期間での藻場造成を求めない場合には、複数本の柱状部4のうちの少なくとも1本に付設し、そこから放出される胞子を介して周囲に海藻を繁茂させることも可能である。なお、海藻種苗担持具10の取着時期に関しては、骨格構造体2を沈設する前でも後でも構わない。さらに、海藻種苗担持具10は、1本の柱状部4に対して1個としてもよい
【0022】
【発明の効果】
以上説明したように、本発明によれば、前記柱状部の外周面に形成された周溝と、その周溝の部分に設けられた担持基体側に係合し得る凹部又は凸部との組合わせ、あるいはテーパ状の周溝と、そのテーパ面に当接し得る担持基体に設けられた突起との組合わせ、あるいは前記柱状部の外周面に形成された周溝の底面に形成されたスロープ状の突出部と、そのスロープ状突出部と掛合し得る担持基体の内周面に形成された突起との組合わせという簡単な構成によって、海藻種苗担持具を簡便かつ的確に前記柱状部に対して上下方向にも周方向にも滑り止めされた状態で取着することができる。また、本発明による藻場造成用構造物を用いれば、海藻種苗担持具がその取着位置に保持され、海流等によりずれ動くことはないので、施工直後の時点では海藻種苗担持具の担持基体のみに付着していた海藻種苗の仮根が、順調に伸長して比較的短期間で柱状部表面にまで到達し、ここで確実に付着した後、柱状部を着生床として生育を続けることになる。このため、藻場造成の成功率が高まると同時に、その造成期間も短縮される。また、海藻の着生基体として機能し得る骨格構造体に対して、海藻種苗を簡便に取着することができ、さらにこの海藻種苗担持具の使用により海中の有効利用につながる立体的な藻場を造成することができるなど、その効果はきわめて大なるものがある。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  The present invention relates to a technique for improving a marine environment in order to create seaweed beds (also referred to as underwater forests) centered on seaweeds and to bring about the reproduction of seafood, and The present invention relates to a structure for constructing a seaweed bed. Specifically, a structure such as a concrete block (referred to as a “skeletal structure” in the present specification) including a columnar portion and capable of functioning as a seaweed settlement floor.,It is composed of a seaweed seedling carrying tool that can be easily attached to this skeletal structure, and by reliably preventing the seaweed seedling carrying tool after the attachment from shifting due to ocean currents, It helps early settlement on the skeletal structure, and the seaweed seedlings are used as the core to grow seaweed around and create a seaweed bed.
[0002]
[Prior art]
  Currently, the promotion of coastal fisheries is an important issue in Japan, and the growth and aquaculture of seafood and seaweed are being promoted. However, in the coastal areas, seaweed beds disappear due to various causes, and the so-called “burning” phenomenon, in which seafood that uses the seaweed beds as a place of life, drastically decreases, is spreading throughout the country.
[0003]
  In general, seaweed grows on the relatively shallow rock surface and propagates there. However, the habitat is extremely bad in the sea-burning sea area because there is no mother algae nearby, and there is no source of spores, and the rocks are covered with lime algae, making it difficult for seaweed to settle. In addition, seaweeds are originally difficult to grow in sandy mud. Therefore, it is important to introduce seaweed in the regeneration of seaweed beds in such a seawater-burning sea area and the construction of seaweed beds in sandy mud sea areas.
[0004]
  Conventionally, as a method for constructing a seaweed bed, a method is known in which a culture body with various devices is installed in the sea, and the seaweed is created after the seaweed naturally settles in the culture body (actual fairness). 3-56199, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 4-71448). However, since these conventional methods depend on natural settlement, the formation state of seaweed in the early stage of creation is not only greatly influenced by uncertain natural factors, but also the creation efficiency such as the time taken for creation. There was a fundamental problem in terms of certainty.
[0005]
  Therefore, the seedlings of seedlings used in seaweed cultivation are preliminarily seeded with seaweed seedlings, and these seedlings are wound around the appropriate structure of the building structure made of concrete blocks and set in the sea. Thus, an attempt has been made to cause seaweed to grow on the surface of the structure for construction using the seaweed seedling as a nucleus. However, this conventional method is extremely difficult and unstable to attach the seedlings to the construction structure, and is particularly difficult to apply to the construction structure already installed in the sea. It was. In addition, even after attachment, if there is any problem with the attachment state of the seedlings and seedlings to the construction structure, the attachment state deteriorates due to the thin thread shape and unstable shape. There is a disadvantage that it expands and flows out easily, especially because the seedling thread itself has almost no strength, so the seaweed seedling must be attached in a very small juvenile state, and it does not grow smoothly In many cases, the success rate of creation was low. For this reason, the actual situation is that the conventional method has not been put into practical use as a method for introducing seaweed seedlings.
[0006]
  Therefore, the present applicant forms a ring-shaped carrier from an elastic material such as a synthetic resin, and in the state where the seaweed seedling is previously carried on the carrier, the columnar portion of the structure for building (skeleton structure) is formed. It has already been proposed to cause seaweed seedlings to grow on the construction structure by attaching them, and to create seaweed beds using the seeded seaweed seedlings as a core (see Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 10-136913). In the seaweed bed construction using this seaweed seedling carrier, the seaweed seedling attachment work to the construction structure and the subsequent growth of the seaweed seedling are greatly improved compared to the conventional method, and good results are obtained. ing.
[0007]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
  By the way, the seaweed cannot be expected to grow well unless the temporary roots are firmly attached to the settlement bed. For this reason, when the seaweed seedling carrying tool is attached to the construction structure, it is particularly important to attach the seaweed seedling temporary root to the surface of the structurally stable columnar part as quickly as possible. The success or failure greatly affects the time required for the seaweed development and the success rate. That is, in the seaweed seedling carrier immediately after attachment, since the seaweed seedling temporary roots are not attached to the surface of the columnar part, there is a possibility that the seaweed seedling seedlings may shift due to the ocean current or the like depending on the shape and attachment method for the columnar part. . If this condition persists, the growth of seaweed seedlings on the construction structure will be delayed, affecting the subsequent growth as well as increasing the risk of disappearing due to food damage before it grows. The state of attachment of the seaweed seedling carrying tool to the material is one of the most important elements in the creation of the seaweed bed. If there is no problem even if it takes time to attach, it is not so difficult to fix it securely, but if it is attached immediately before the construction structure is laid, especially if the seaweed seedlings are small. In addition to the above conditions, it must be easy to attach because it takes a short time to be easily damaged and placed in the air.
[0008]
  As a result of intensive studies on the method for attaching the seaweed seedling carrier, the present applicant has come up with the structure for creating a seaweed bed according to the present invention. That is, for the skeletal structure that can function as a seaweed settlement substrate, the seaweed seedling carrier can be easily attached, but the carrier does not shift after attachment, The purpose of this project is to create a three-dimensional seaweed bed that leads to effective use in the sea with a high success rate by allowing seaweed seedlings to grow on the skeletal structure.
[0009]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
  In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, in the present invention, a seaweed seedling carrying tool in which a seaweed seedling seedling is grown on a carrying base is provided on a skeletal structure in which at least one columnar section is erected on a block-shaped base. In the structure for creating a seaweed bed, which is attached in a substantially circular shape at an appropriate position on the surface, the seaweed seedling carrying tool is attached via a non-slip means. That is, in the algae bed construction structure according to the present invention, the seaweed seedling carrier attached to the columnar part is held at the attachment position and does not move in the circumferential direction or the vertical direction of the columnar part due to the ocean current or the like. Therefore, the temporary root of the seaweed seedling that had been attached only to the support substrate of the seaweed seedling support tool at the time immediately after construction stretched smoothly and reached the surface of the columnar part, and after it adhered firmly, the columnar part Will continue to grow on the bed.
[0010]
  In the algae bed construction structure, the seaweed seedling supporter on which the seaweed seedling has grown is fitted at an appropriate position on the outer periphery of the columnar part of the skeletal structure, so that the seaweed seedling is used as the core of creation around the seaweed. With the presence of the columnar part, it is possible to construct a three-dimensional seaweed bed suitable for being called an underwater forest with a high success rate. That is, the amount of seaweed seedlings introduced per unit area of the sea area can be increased by introducing seaweed seedlings to the seabed in the form of attaching an appropriate number of seaweed seedling supporters to the columnar portion of the construction structure. . And near the columnar part installed on the seabed, the ocean current changes, and the upwelling flow from the lower part of the columnar part tends to occur upwards, so oxygen and nutrients are spread all over and the depth of seaweed Since the growth conditions are easy to satisfy, the success rate of creation is extremely high. Furthermore, even if the seaweed below the columnar part is buried due to the accumulation of sandy mud on the seabed, the seaweed growing on the upper part remains, and it is not easily damaged by seaweeds such as sea urchins. When it is made of a highly durable material, the seaweed that is the core of the creation remains for a long time while changing generations, so a permanent seaweed bed can be created.
[0011]
  SaidNon-slip hand of seaweed seedling carrierSteppedThenIn the invention of claim 1, a sea groove is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the columnar part, and a concave part or a convex part that can be engaged with the carrier base is provided in a part of the circumferential groove, and the seaweed seedling carrier Adopted the technical means that it is attached to the columnar part in a state in which it is prevented from slipping in the vertical direction and the circumferential direction. Further, in the invention of claim 2, a tapered circumferential groove is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the columnar portion, and a protrusion capable of abutting on the tapered surface is provided on the supporting base, so that the seaweed seedling holding tool is the columnar The technical means of attaching to the part in a state of being prevented from slipping both vertically and circumferentially was adopted. According to a third aspect of the present invention, a circumferential groove is formed on the outer circumferential surface of the columnar portion, and a part of the bottom surface of the circumferential groove is projected in a slope shape, and the slope-shaped projection is projected on the inner circumferential surface of the carrier base. A technical means is provided in which a projection that engages with the portion is provided, and the seaweed seedling support is attached to the columnar portion in a state in which it is prevented from slipping in the vertical and circumferential directions.
[0012]
  Next, the seaweed seedling support tool used in the present invention is a rod-like, strip-like, etc. stringed body such as a rope or a hose of an appropriate length that has been grown in advance in the sea by growing a seaweed seedling in advance. It is attached to at least a part of a substantially annular or linear support substrate having an appropriate cross-sectional shape. Here, the supporting base is formed in a substantially annular shape with one portion such as a C-shape opened using a flexible material such as a synthetic resin, and the space between the open ends is widened with respect to the columnar portion. It can be attached from the lateral direction, or a similar material is formed in a substantially band shape, and when it is attached to the columnar part with a string-like body with seaweed seedlings attached to the carrying base There are several types, such as those that are attached in an annular shape along the peripheral surface, and those that are formed as endless rings and inserted from the upper end of the columnar part. In the former end-like substrate having a substantially annular or substantially band shape, the annular state can be maintained even after being attached to the columnar part by the elasticity of the material itself or the latching means provided at the end part. Any material may be used, and it may be appropriately formed into a length and shape from a flexible material such as bamboo, synthetic resin, rubber, or metal. Specific examples of the synthetic resin include polyamide resins, thermoplastic elastomers, polyurethanes, polyolefin resins, and the like. And, by providing a connecting means for maintaining the annular state at the end of the end substrate having a band shape or a rod shape, the attachment work to the columnar portion of the skeletal structure is facilitated and more robust. Can be attached in an annular state. In addition, although it may depend only on the holding force by the elastic restoring force that the material itself has, the elastic restoring force is further increased by, for example, curving and bulging a part in the longitudinal direction into a substantially U shape or the like. You may do it. Further, by adding a length adjusting function to the connecting means at the base end, the applicable range of the skeleton structure with respect to the columnar part outer diameter can be increased..
[0013]
  In addition, the string-like body on which the seaweed seedlings attached to the support substrate are grown is a method widely used in seaweed cultivation, for example, Cremona (trade name) in a water tank in which seaweed spores float, for example. After immersing an adhering base material such as seeds and seedlings suitable for the attachment of seaweed spores, etc. and attaching the seaweed spore to germinate, the attached base material has an appropriate thickness such as a rope or a hose as it is A string-like carrier (in the present invention, a hollow thing such as a hose is also included in the shape of a string) is attached by spiral winding or the like, and this carrier is horizontally installed or suspended in the sea. The seedlings were grown until the temporary roots of seaweed juveniles were attached to the appropriate size to withstand transplantation. In addition, although the magnitude | size changes with the kind of seaweed, construction time, and the environment of a creation area, generally the length of a leaf-shaped part is about 10 cm or more. The attachment to the carrier base may be any place except for the surface that engages with the columnar portion of the skeletal structure. For example, the carrier base may extend along the entire length of the surface located on the outer peripheral side, or They may be provided in various places, and those grown in the sea in the state of a long string-like body are cut into lengths as needed and used. For this reason, basically, it is not necessary to cure in the state of the seaweed seedling carrier, so that the space required for production is small. The fixing means for the supporting base may be formed by, for example, forming a plurality of hook-shaped parts at predetermined intervals on the surface of the supporting base that becomes the outer side when attached to the columnar part, or by inserting a separate fastener. It may be used to bind the carrier base and the string-like body. As the type of seaweed used here, seaweeds such as larvae, sea bream, and black seaweed are preferred, and among them, pickled seaweeds are particularly suitable. is there.
[0014]
  In addition, the skeletal structure used as the seaweed settlement floor is, for example, a concrete base with an appropriately shaped concrete base, a parallel fishing reef formed in a lattice frame shape, or a tetrapod (trade name). In short, if it is a structure having a columnar part, it will be an attachment target of a seaweed seedling carrier. As materials for these skeletal structures, metals, wood, synthetic resins, etc. can be used in addition to concrete, and the cross-sectional shape of the columnar part is not limited to a circle, but a polygon, or the interior is hollow. Also good. In addition, when the cross-sectional shape of the columnar part is a polygon, the support base in the seaweed seedling support tool naturally has a shape adapted to it, and basically no sliding in the circumferential direction occurs. Only the movement needs to be considered. And, the operation of attaching the seaweed seedling carrier to these skeletal structures is performed in the sea after the skeletal structure is set in the target sea area, or attached in advance on a trolley, and the timing is particularly limited. Not.

  8 to 10 relate to another embodiment of the structure for constructing a seaweed bed according to the present invention, among which FIG. 8 and FIG. 9 are a plan view and a front view, respectively, showing a carrier base 61 in a seaweed seedling carrier 60. is there. The illustrated supporting substrate 61 is formed as a band-shaped ring partially opened by a synthetic resin having appropriate elasticity, and has a hook-like protrusion 62 at one end and the hook-like protrusion 62 at the other end. A retaining hole 63 for connecting and holding the ring is provided. Furthermore, a substantially L-shaped receiving part 64 for hooking a string-like body (see FIG. 10) to be described later protrudes at five locations on the outer side surface, and a protrusion 65 is provided inside the tip of the receiving part 64. Is formed, and a projection 66 is also provided in the axial direction on the outer peripheral surface of the main body so as to face the projection 65. In addition, substantially U-shaped bulging portions 67 project outwardly at two locations in the middle portion of the main body, and further, three protrusions for preventing sliding are formed on the inner surface side of the receiving portion 64 of the main body. 68 are formed in the axial direction at substantially equal intervals. In the embodiment, a pair of grips 69 are provided in the vicinity of each end of the main body, and connecting means 70 are provided at three positions of the main body.

It can be easily connected by passing an appropriate wire such as.
[0019]
  As shown in FIG. 10, the seaweed seedling carrier 60 is provided with a string-like body 80 along the outer peripheral surface of the carrier base 61. The string-like body 80 is obtained by using a rope culture method widely used in seaweed culture, and a large number of seaweed seedlings 81 that have grown more than a juvenile are growing on the surface. The production method is as follows. First, in a water tank on the land where seaweed spores are floating, an appropriate base material such as seeds and seedlings suitable for the adhesion of seaweed spores is dipped in fibers, and the seaweed spores are attached thereto. After germination, the adhering substrate is wound spirally around a string-like carrier having an appropriate thickness such as a rope or hose (not shown), then placed in the sea, and a temporary seaweed juvenile is placed. The roots are grown until they firmly settle on the carrier and become large enough to withstand transplantation. The string-like body 80 is attached to the carrier base 61 by inserting the string-like body 80 into the five receiving portions 64 along the outer surface of the carrier base 61 from above, as shown in FIG. At the same time, the projection 66 provided opposite the receiving portion 64 prevents radial movement. The string-like body 80 does not necessarily have to be provided over the entire circumference of the carrier base 61, and is cut into a length slightly larger than the width of the receiving portion 64 and fitted into each receiving portion 64, Some may be inserted. In addition, the seaweed seedling carrying tool in each of the above embodiments is also provided with a receiving portion having an appropriate shape that can attach the string-like body 80 to each carrying base instead of directly depositing the seaweed seedling on the carrying base itself. Alternatively, they may be attached, or may be bundled and integrated with a separate fastener or the like in a state where the string-like body 80 is placed along the carrying base.
[0020]
  The columnar portion 90 of the skeletal structure to which the seaweed seedling carrier 60 is attached is provided with a circumferential groove 91 close to the width of the carrier base 61 at an appropriate position on the outer circumferential surface. Slope-like protrusions 92 are formed at three locations so as to rise at substantially equal intervals and in the same direction. In order to attach the seaweed seedling carrier 60 to the columnar part 90, first, the columnar part is formed at a position where the three protrusions 68 on the inner surface of the supporting base 61 do not overlap with the sloped protruding part 92 of the columnar part 90. The hook-like protrusions 62 and the hooking holes 63 provided at both ends of the carrier base 61 with the 90 penetrating through the inside are engaged with each other while being pulled together by using a pair of grips 69 provided in the vicinity of the hooked protrusions 62. The support substrate 61 which has been described above is brought into an annular state. At this time, the substantially U-shaped bulging portions 67 provided at two positions in the intermediate portion of the support base 61 are appropriately opened, so that even if the outer diameter of the circumferential groove 91 of the columnar portion 90 slightly varies, it is ensured. Can be applied inwear. Next, when the annular seaweed seedling support 60 is rotated in the clockwise direction, the three protrusions 68 on the inner surface of the support base 61 come into contact with the slope-shaped protrusion 92 of the columnar section 90, and are appropriately positioned on the slope. It is locked with. As a result, the seaweed seedling carrier 60 is securely fixed. That is, in the present embodiment, the seaweed seedling carrier 60 can be easily attached without requiring a great force, and the dimensional tolerance of the mounting position of the columnar portion 90 has a margin, It can be securely fixed. The elasticity of the material constituting the carrier base 61Can be fully opened byIf so, the bulging portion 67 is unnecessary. When fixed in this way, even when subjected to ocean currents, they will not move in any direction, so the temporary roots of the seaweed seedlings 81 will grow smoothly and reliably on the surface of the columnar part 90 in a short time. To settle.
[0021]
  In these algae bed construction structures, the temporary roots of a large number of seaweed seedlings growing on the seaweed seedling supporter extend and settle in the columnar part, and when they grow and mature there, spores are released and the base 3 and seaweed grow around it. According to this creation method, the seaweed that is the core of the seaweed bed construction uses the columnar part standing in the almost vertical direction of the skeletal structure installed at a predetermined position as an epiphysical bed. It grows well under the influence of the above, and since the skeletal structure is a permanent structure, generational changes are made smoothly there, and it exists for a long period of time, and many spores are diffused around. It should be noted that in places where there are no settlements such as reefs around the structure for creating seaweed beds, it is desirable to install stones etc. around them. Install many structures for creation at appropriate intervals from each other, or group multiple structures for creating seaweed beds, and install them at intervals that allow fishnets to be inserted between the groups. Also good. In the said 1st Example, although the case where the seaweed seedling seedling carrier 10 is attached to all the columnar parts 4 of the skeletal structure 2 is described, in particular, when it is not required to create a seaweed bed in a short period of time, It is also possible to attach to at least one of the plurality of columnar portions 4 and allow seaweeds to thrive around the spores released therefrom. The attachment time of the seaweed seedling carrier 10 may be before or after the skeleton structure 2 is set. Further, the seaweed seedling carrier 10 may be one for each columnar portion 4..

【The invention's effect】
  As explained above,According to the present invention, a combination of a circumferential groove formed on the outer peripheral surface of the columnar portion and a concave portion or a convex portion that can be engaged with the support base provided in the circumferential groove portion, or a tapered shape. A combination of a circumferential groove and a protrusion provided on the carrier base that can abut on the tapered surface, or a slope-like protrusion formed on the bottom surface of the circumferential groove formed on the outer peripheral surface of the columnar part, The seaweed seedling carrying tool can be easily and accurately placed in the vertical direction with respect to the columnar part by a simple configuration of a combination with a protrusion formed on the inner peripheral surface of the carrying base that can be engaged with the slope-like protruding part. It can also be attached in a non-slip state. Also,Structure for constructing seaweed beds according to the present inventionIf you useSince the seaweed seedling holding tool is held at its attachment position and does not move due to ocean currents, the temporary roots of the seaweed seedling seedlings attached only to the support substrate of the seaweed seedling holding tool immediately after construction are smoothly After elongating and reaching the surface of the columnar part in a relatively short period of time, after having adhered reliably here, the columnar part will continue to grow with the bed as an established bed. For this reason, the success rate of seaweed bed creation increases, and at the same time, the creation period is shortened. In addition, the seaweed seedlings can be easily attached to a skeletal structure that can function as a substrate for seaweed growth, and the use of this seaweed seedling seedling support tool leads to effective utilization in the sea. The effect is extremely large.
