Unless otherwise indicated herein, the content described in this section is not prior art to the claims of this application, and inclusion in this section is not admitted to be prior art.

In recent years, as the standard of living in Korea has improved and interest in healthy food is increasing, consumption of live fish is also increasing.

These live fish are caught in local areas such as the sea by fishing or fishing, so the supply of demand is not smooth, and the price is also high. Recently, as a countermeasure, specializing in aquaculture such as fish, seaweed, and shellfish. There are a lot of farms.

In recent years, as the demand for farms has increased significantly, the income of fishermen is also increasing. Seawater farming can be largely divided into maritime cage farming and land tank farming.

The marine cage culture is a method in which target organisms are trapped in a large space of the sea with nets, and the terrestrial fish tank culture is a method of artificially controlling the habitat environment by transferring the subject organisms to a land tank.

Unlike land tank farming, marine cage farming does not require exchange of seawater and is increasing gradually as fish can be farmed in large quantities.

In addition, the terrestrial fish tank farming can be quickly grown and cultured with high quality by creating an environment that meets the ecological characteristics and purposes of organisms such as fish to be bred.

Here, the onshore water tank farming is a space for artificially cultivating live fish while supplying feed after storing seawater or fresh water in the sealed water tank, so various devices for breeding are required.

For example, a water flow generator that generates currents to meet the ecological characteristics and purpose of organisms such as live fish to be reared, a purification device that circulates and filters water to improve water quality by feed and excrement, and to supply seawater or fresh water. Pumping device, oxygen supply device to supply oxygen necessary for habitat, UV (ultraviolet ray) and ozone treatment or electrolysis device to remove harmful organisms contained in seawater, and to maintain water temperature suitable for survival according to target organisms There are various devices such as temperature control devices.

As described above, the water temperature must be steadily adjusted according to the type of fish and shellfish, and the conventional land aquarium is mostly made of concrete or some plastics such as PVC are used.

In this case, there is a problem in that the heat resistance value of the existing concrete and other material tanks is too small to facilitate heat transfer, resulting in a high maintenance cost of the heating and cooling device.

In addition, as described above, if a lot of devices are installed to meet the ecological characteristics and purposes of living organisms such as live fish to be reared, there are costs incurred due to purchase and power waste due to individual operation of each device. Will occur.

Due to the above problems, it is a reality that breeding is carried out as a minimum device for supplying oxygen and temperature control, which is essential for aquaculture.This is also a high-power device or a single high-power device for reasons such as the strength and output of the device when the farm is large. Since it is a large number of devices and is operated by installing a large number of them, rational operation is not achieved.

Therefore, there is a need for an economical and practical method of farming because a minimum device configuration for supplying oxygen and temperature control, which is essential for farming, is combined.
