First, when examining the characteristics of deep sea water, the deep sea water is generally called the deep sea water deeper than 200m from the sea surface, and it is different from the surface sea water. Plankton and living organisms do not grow because sunlight does not reach them, so the concentration of nutrients is high and the density difference according to the water temperature does not mix with surface seawater. No contaminants present in surface waters, low temperature stability, very low levels of contaminants, harmful bacteria and organics, and inorganic nutrients important for plant growth. Mineral balance characteristics that are rich in salt and rich in minerals and various mineral components, and for a long time under high pressure and low temperature Clusters of water molecules are subpopulated and have a small surface tension, and thus have characteristics such as ripening matured with water having good permeability.

Deep sea water is a deep seawater that is not exposed to sunlight and does not mix with the surface sea water. Sea deep sea water, which is deeper than 200 m above sea level, is called deep sea water. Calcium (Ca), Magnesium (Mg), Iron (Fe), and Zinc (Fe) Zn), sodium (Na) and other major elements (main 要 元素) containing more than 70 different mineral components (nutrient), viable count ), Water temperature (水溫) is a significant difference.

The history of deep sea water use has been short, and it has been a long time since the fisheries sector, including non-fishery products such as food, medical care, health industry, drinking water, and cosmetics. Even in the field, various studies have been conducted, and when the characteristics of deep ocean water are examined in detail, the following characteristics are obtained.

1. Low temperature safety

While the surface temperature of surface seawater fluctuates greatly with the seasons, deep ocean waters are stable at low temperatures without changing the water temperature with seasons.

In particular, deep sea waters in the East Sea of Korea settled by dense differences in cold seawater that melted drift ice in the Sea of Okhotsk, off the coast of Vladivostok between Ostrov Sakhalin and Hokkaido. As the deep water flows in and blocks the Japanese archipelago, it slows down the water, and the water depth is deeper than 300m from the sea level. The water temperature is 1 ~ 2 ℃ throughout the year, off the coast of Muroto in Kouchi Prefecture, Hawaii or Japan. Is about 8 to 11 ° C lower than deep ocean water.

2. Cleanliness

Because it is deep, it is difficult to receive pollution from river water and air on land, and there are few chemicals, pollutants and bacteria.

① physical cleanliness

Physical cleanliness is said to include less suspended matter and suspended matter, and the deep sea water contains less suspended solids than surface seawater.

② biological cleanliness

The biggest problem in seawater intake is the propagation of adherent organisms. In general, in surface water intake systems, adherent organisms multiply in the intake pipe, and the resistance of the pipe increases and it is impossible to take in water. The total number of viable bacteria, such as (pathogenic) microorganisms, chlorella, etc., is small, from one tenth to one hundredth of surface water.

③ chemical cleanliness

Since deep seawater does not mix with contaminated surface waters, it is not contaminated with so-called environmental pollutants such as dioxins, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), organic chlorine compounds, and organic tin.

3. eutrophicity

The deep ocean water contains about 5 to 10 times more inorganic nutrients than nitrogen, phosphorus, and silicic acid, which are the nutrient sources of phytoplankton (mainly diatoms of microscopic single-celled plants with chlorophyll), which are the source of sea life, compared to surface seawater. There is a characteristic that abundant salt is contained.

At sea levels deeper than 150 m above sea level, the amount of light is less than 1%, and at further depths, phytoplankton are unable to photosynthesize, so nutrients are not consumed by phytoplankton, but sink and accumulate in the deeper layers below, resulting in inorganic nutrients. The concentration of is high.

4. Characteristics of minerals

Sea water contains more than 70 kinds of elements, and deep sea water has such characteristics.

Although there are many important elements necessary for the growth of animals and plants, they are necessary, but very small amounts of deeply related to human health, such as copper and zinc, essential trace elements that are harmful to intake in large quantities, are contained. .

5. Aging

Deep sea water has a lower pH than surface sea water (around 7.8), while organic content is low, and deep sea water separates from surface sea water, resulting in a small cluster of water molecules over long periods of time under low temperature and high pressure. It is matured in water with good permeability while being small.

When trace amounts of divalent and trivalent iron salts are present in water, they are activated to activate the growth of animals, plants and microorganisms.

Professor Yamashita Shoji of Nagoya University, Japan, called л-Water, which contains activated trace amounts of divalent and trivalent salts, called л-Water. Is a complex with triglycerides, which is closely related to water and plays a role in genetic information memory. The divalent and trivalent iron salts are the substances that influence the cellular activities of animals and plants, and the form of energy conversion is revealed.

In the surface seawater, iron is mainly present as trivalent iron (Fe ₂ O ₃ ) as an oxidizing atmosphere with high dissolved oxygen concentration, but the deep sea water in the seabed deeper than 200m deeply decreases the dissolved oxygen concentration and becomes a reducing atmosphere. It is characterized by the presence of divalent and trivalent iron (FeO · Fe ₂ O ₃ , Fe ₃ O ₄ ).

Thus, the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings a method of using the water in the aquarium mixed with a small amount of divalent, trivalent iron salts in the deep sea water as follows.

An air diffuser installed at the bottom of the aquarium 1 by injecting deep sea water deeper than 200 m from the sea level into the aquarium 1 and discharging air from the discharge pipe of the blower 4 installed outside the aquarium 1. Maintain and store the fish (3) while aeration through.

The amount of air aerated by the air dispersing device 2 installed at the bottom of the aquarium 1 to the air in the air supplied from the discharge pipe of the blower 4 installed outside the aquarium 1 is determined by a dissolved oxygen indicator (DOI). If it is installed in the aquarium (1), air is supplied so that the dissolved oxygen concentration is maintained in the range of 4-6 mg / l, and if the dissolved oxygen concentration meter is not installed, the aeration intensity is 2 to 6㎥ -Aeration in the range of air / aquarium volume (㎥) and time.

Ocean deep water of deep seabed deeper than 200m from sea level to aquarium 1 The fish 3 is injected and aerated while the air in the air supplied from the discharge pipe of the blower 4 installed outside the aquarium 1 is aerated through the air diffuser 2 installed at the bottom of the aquarium 1 to maintain and store the fish 3.

The blower 4 used in the present invention has a diaphragm air pump type when the air volume is 0.2 m 3 / min or less and the discharge pressure is 0.15 kg / cm 2 G or less. When the discharge pressure is 0.045 to 0.15㎏ / ㎠G, the ring blower is used, the air volume is 10㎥ / minute or more, and the discharge pressure is 0.15㎏ / ㎠G or less Centrifugal blower is used, Roots blower is used when the flow rate is 10m 3 / min or more and the discharge pressure is 0.1kg / ㎠G.

The diffuser 2 is an air lift type, an ejector type, a membrane type, a perforated type, a rubber disc type or an air spray nozzle. Use one of the air spray nozzle types.

Example 1

Inject 1.2m3 of deep seawater taken from a water of 650m into a 1.5㎥ aquarium and inject 5 flounders, 5 red snapper and 5 rockfish, and a diaphragm air pump type blower installed outside the aquarium. When checking the condition of fish while supplying air at 4㎥-Air / hour to the air lift type diffuser installed at the bottom of the aquarium, the fish without dead fish until 8 days have passed. The condition was good.

Comparative Example 1

1.2m3 of surface seawater is injected into a 1.5m3 capacity aquarium, and 5 flounders, 5 red snapper and 5 waters are injected, and an air lift type installed at the bottom of the aquarium from a diaphragm air pump type blower. When checking the condition of fish while supplying air at 4㎥ air / hour with the air lift type), three fish and one flounder died in four days, and all the fish were in bad condition after five days. At six days, the condition was all bad and the test was stopped.

As shown in Example 1 and Comparative Example 1, which is a conventional technique, it can be seen that the technique of the present invention is superior to the conventional method.
