Description

Shellfish artificial seed management system {Management system for artificial seeds of shellfish}

The present invention relates to an artificial shellfish seedling management system, and more particularly, to an artificial shellfish seedling management system for facilitating seedling production by managing an artificial seedling culture apparatus provided to grow shellfish larvae into adults.

Traditional aquaculture farms were labor-intensive, and there was a serious problem of wasting manpower and time.

Unable to break away from these traditional farms, fishermen at the farms took turns on watch, waking up at dawn and crossing between farms to feed and sew the torn nets on one side by hand.

As such, despite the long history of the aquaculture industry in Korea, the scale of the enterprise is small and the fishermen are dependent on their own experience.

However, recently, there is a movement to transform the aquaculture industry, which was at the level of traditional industry, into a high-tech industry that combines 4th industrial revolution technologies such as ICT, robots, artificial intelligence, and big data.

However, domestic conditions for smart aquaculture technology still have a long way to go, and there is a large gap in the management system for applying the 4th industrial revolution technology to aquaculture farms.

On the other hand, recently, various methods of culturing shellfish such as oysters, abalone, clams, scallops, clams, lilies, and scallops have been implemented. The way it is grown is changing.

Various techniques have been proposed for cultivating artificial seedlings in terrestrial tanks because the supply of natural seedlings is unstable due to marine environmental pollution and indiscriminate overfishing, leading to a shortage of resources.

Accordingly, aquaculture facilities for the production of artificial seedlings have been introduced in many fisheries, but most of the management of the aquaculture facilities is still performed in a way that the management of the aquaculture facilities is directly checked with the naked eye and taken action on the spot. .

In other words, in order to understand the state of the aquaculture equipment, it was necessary to directly go to the site, check it with the naked eye, and take action, which was a great waste of time and manpower.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a method of increasing the number of workers may be adopted, but this method causes a problem of increasing the unit price of artificial seedlings due to the burden of labor costs.

In addition, continuous management is required to manage environment-sensitive artificial seedling aquaculture facilities, but the method of directly visiting and managing the aquaculture facilities has a problem in that the scale expansion of the aquaculture facilities is limited due to physical limitations. .

Therefore, there is a need to develop a solution that can identify and manage the status of aquaculture facilities in real time.

In general, shellfish is a generic term for the types of mollusks with calcareous shells, which include Danpangang (單板綱), Dapangang (多板綱) and Gastrofoot (腹足綱) subclasses, and the subclasses of the oculum (有肺).亞綱) and parts of the Husaea River, the Gulljok River, the Bimae Pae River, and a very small part of the Cephalopod River.

Among them, the bivalve clams, called bivalves, have an axe-shaped feet, so they are also called tribal rivers. Their bodies are encased in a symmetrical shell connected by ligaments, and they do not have radula, but instead have an inlet hole and hole. It is obtained by filtering food in the water with gills using the water outlet.

Among the above bivalve molluscs, clam, cockle, clams, and cockroach, etc. are representative edible bivalve molluscs abundantly present in the coast of Korea. When they grow to be burrowers, they live in sediments such as mud and show burrowers.

The benthic bivalve molluscs, unlike aquaculture target species that can control the environment by providing food and nutrients in cages or indoor tanks, collect wild larvae in a tidal flat culture that is highly dependent on the natural environment, grow them for a certain period of time, and then harvest them. For this reason, continuous reproduction in their natural habitat is necessary to maintain the aquaculture industry of that variety.

Recently, various methods of culturing shellfish such as oysters, abalone, clams, scallops, clams, lilies and scallops have been implemented. is changing in a way.

The aquaculture equipment applied in the shellfish intermediate breeding equipment monitoring system is installed in an indoor space on land adjacent to the sea, and receives seawater from the sea to foster benthic larvae in the intermediate breeding phase (300㎛ to 5cm length) of shellfish. presupposes that In general, shellfish larvae go through a floating phase in which they float in water for a certain period of time after hatching, and when they grow into chives, which are intermediate breeding stages that are usually 300㎛ long, they no longer float and sink and lead a benthic life. After that, when it becomes about 5cm in length, it is supplied as an environment for growing as a succulent.

First, the control unit 2 is provided to control the water temperature, seawater circulation, and flow rate of the aquaculture apparatus.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2 , the control unit 2 may include a water temperature control module 21 , a circulation control module 22 , a flow rate control module 23 , and an automatic control module 24 . have.

The water temperature control module 21 may control the water temperature of the aquaculture apparatus.

In addition, the circulation control module 22 may control the seawater circulation operation of the aquaculture apparatus.

In addition, the flow rate control module 23 can control the flow rate flowing into the aquaculture apparatus.

In addition, the automatic control module 24 may automatically maintain a preset value of the temperature, the seawater circulation cycle, and the seawater inflow flow rate according to the control signal transmitted from the user terminal unit 1 .

The aquaculture apparatus may be provided with a seawater supply pipe for supplying seawater to the aquaculture tank and a drain pipe through which seawater in the aquaculture tank exits.

A plurality of the seawater supply pipe and the drain pipe may be provided, and a pump may be provided to smoothly introduce seawater from the seawater supply pipe.

In addition, a drain pump may be provided so that the seawater in the aquaculture tank can be smoothly drained into the drain pipe.

In addition, the seawater introduced from the seawater supply pipe may have a continuous flow out of the drain pipe through the inside of the aquaculture tank.

Here, the circulation control module 22 may control the pump and the drain pump.

That is, by controlling the operation of the pump and the drainage pump, it is possible to control the circulation cycle of the seawater flowing into the aquaculture apparatus.

More specifically, it is possible to remove impurities such as excrement of shellfish through circulation of seawater, to supply continuous food such as plankton, and to prevent death due to water pollution.

Meanwhile, the flow control module 23 may control valves provided in the seawater supply pipe and the drain pipe. By controlling the valve of the seawater supply pipe, the flow rate of the incoming seawater can be controlled, and the seawater inflow can be adjusted to prevent damage to the shellfish larvae due to the inflow of too much seawater at once.

Next, as shown in FIG. 1 , the user terminal unit 1 is provided to apply a control signal to the control unit 2 .

That is, the user can control the water temperature, seawater circulation, and flow rate of the aquaculture device without directly visiting the site through the user terminal unit 1, and the water temperature and seawater circulation cycle through the automatic control module 24, The flow rate can be preset and maintained according to the situation.

Next, the photographing unit 4 may photograph the culture device to generate image information and transmit it to the user terminal unit 1 .

In addition, a plurality of the photographing unit 4 may be provided in the aquaculture apparatus to generate image information by photographing it from various angles.

In addition, the image information transmitted from the photographing unit 4 may be stored and recorded in the user terminal unit 1 .

In a preferred embodiment, the photographing unit 4 may be divided into an underwater camera and a camera photographing from the upper side of the aquaculture tank, and the generated image information may be immediately transmitted to the user terminal unit 1 .

Through this, the user terminal unit 1 can remotely check the status of the aquaculture tank.

Next, the control unit 3 may generate status information including the water temperature of the aquaculture apparatus and the control details of the control unit 2 and transmit it to the user terminal unit 1 .

Specifically, the control unit 3 may transmit a notification signal to the user terminal unit 1 when the water temperature of the aquaculture apparatus is out of a preset range.

In addition, the control unit 3 may sense the dissolved oxygen concentration, pH and salinity of the aquaculture tank to generate dissolved oxygen concentration information, pH information, and salinity information, and transmit it to the user terminal unit 1 .

That is, the user can easily grasp the water temperature, dissolved oxygen concentration, pH, and salinity in the aquaculture tank through the user terminal unit 1 .

The user terminal unit 1 that has received the notification signal may display the notification status in text or sound.

More specifically, the control unit 3 is provided to detect the pH concentration in the aquaculture tank water. pH is a factor that determines how acidic or basic water is. Water with a pH of 7 is said to be neutral, neither acidic nor basic, water with a pH of 7 or less is acidic, and water with a pH of 7 or higher is basic. Therefore, the pH scale ranges from 0 to 14. The more the value differs from pH 7, the more acidic or basic the water becomes. As factors that change pH in the natural environment, inorganic factors are often caused by the dissociation of carbonic acid, boric acid, phosphoric acid, hydrogen sulfide, hypochlorous acid, hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, etc. It may be caused by the inflow of organic acids (acetic acid, butyric acid, lactic acid, propionic acid, etc.). In the natural environment, the general pH change range of freshwater is 6.0 ~ 8.0, seawater has a range of 7.7 ~ 8.3, and soil has a range of 3.0 ~ 10.0. The reason why the pH fluctuation range of seawater is relatively small is because of the large buffering capacity due to alkalinity. However, in the case of fresh water, it is difficult to determine whether it is caused by the inflow of contaminants such as acids or alkaline substances from the outside because the _{alkalinity is low and the pH change is severe due to the consumption of CO 2 by algae and respiration of aquatic organisms.}

Organisms live in an appropriate pH range. If out of the appropriate pH range, the permeability of the cell membrane or enzymatic action is affected and life is threatened. Therefore, it is most important to maintain the proper pH that each fish likes to inhabit. If the pH of the breeding water at the fish farm is too low or too high, a pH adjusting solution may be used to adjust the pH. , sodium carbonate, slaked lime, etc. are used.

As such, the control unit 3 may measure the pH in order to confirm whether the pH is appropriate for the growth of larvae in the aquaculture tank.

In addition, the control unit 3 may detect the salinity in the aquaculture tank.

Since most marine organisms can only live in a water environment having a certain concentration of salt, it may be provided in the water of the aquaculture apparatus in order to check whether the salt has a salt concentration suitable for the growth of each fish species. In addition, depending on the scale of the aquaculture apparatus, a single or a plurality may be provided.

Meanwhile, in connection with the water temperature control module 21 , the automatic control module 24 may set the cooled seawater to flow through the seawater supply pipe when the water temperature is higher than a preset value.

This is a configuration provided to provide an environment suitable for the growth of shellfish by maintaining a constant water temperature in the aquaculture tank.

3, looking at a preferred application example of the shellfish artificial seedling management system according to the present invention,

The user terminal unit 1 applies a control signal to the automatic control module 24,

The automatic control module 24 automatically controls the environment in the aquaculture apparatus in connection with the water temperature control module 21 , the circulation control module 22 , and the flow control module 23 .

At this time, the control unit 3 transmits the control details of the control unit 2 and information such as water temperature, pH, and salinity in the aquaculture tank to the user terminal unit 1 in real time, and when out of a preset value, A notification signal is generated and transmitted to the user terminal unit 1 .

At the same time, the photographing unit 4 generates image information so that the current state of the culture apparatus can be checked in real time and transmits it to the user terminal unit 1 .

Through the above configuration, the user can understand and easily manage the state of the aquaculture device without directly visiting the site.
