Description

Oyster breeding buoy

The present invention relates to aquaculture equipment; in particular, it relates to an oyster breeding buoy which has both environmental protection and mobility, and can adjust the height of a breeding net to facilitate operation.

Oysters have extremely high nutritional value. They are called seafood milk by Europeans and emperor food by Japanese. They are loved by many people regardless of national borders. In Taiwan, oysters are also called Taipa. … And so on, is a common snack in the city, and has a place in Taiwan's snack culture. In order to meet the needs of customers, oyster breeding methods have gradually evolved from the early shell cymbals and stone branches to the modern offshore floating shed hanging type.

The floating awnings in the open sea are oyster cultured with bamboo breeding racks made of Polyuron as floating tents. The meat produced by the oysters is tender and rich, but it also generates many environmental issues. Bamboo breeding racks have a limited service life, and some oyster farmers release abandoned breeding racks arbitrarily, which seriously impacts navigation safety and marine ecology. Polyurethane, which is called ten thousand years of rubbish, will be broken into numerous small polyirons after weathering. Not only is it difficult to remove the block, but the Polyurethane block with the characteristics of adsorbing organic pollutants at sea is ingested by marine life and is more likely to enter the human body through the food chain, causing harm to health.

In addition, oyster farmers face other problems and challenges. Due to the high production density of the floating shed culture method, oyster farmers often need to bend over and pull up tens of kilograms of oyster skewers for exposure and removal of attachments, which is likely to cause occupational injuries. In typhoon seasons, they are more worried about the damage to the floating shed. After destruction, the oyster strings collided with each other and the oysters dropped into the sea from the skewers, resulting in reduced harvest and no return of blood.
