Description

Coral farming system

This creation is about a coral culture system that combines eco-aquaculture and multiple tests for the growth of flat corals.

Corals have strict requirements for growing conditions, and must have sufficient light, stable temperature, adequate water flow and good water quality, and maintain ecological balance. At present, most of the coral farms in Taiwan market use traditional farming techniques based on experience, and the lack of scientific methods accelerates growth, resulting in the inability to provide the most suitable ecological farming tank system. The Republic of China invention patent application No. 93118194 discloses a system and method for the large-scale breeding and breeding of coral and coral reef organisms, which is a kind of breeding and production of coral and coral reef organisms, although highly economical, aquarium, fishery, conservation and education. The design of value, but there is still much room for improvement in imitation of ecological farming and at lower construction costs to achieve commercial mass production.

The aim of this project is to provide an ecologically-cultured tank system that is suitable for corals with sufficient light, stable temperature, adequate water flow, good water quality and ecological balance.

Another purpose of this creation is to combine ecological farming, that is, to use natural seawater, live sand, live rock and/or tool organisms, and to achieve the best breeding tank for the growth of tiled corals. Set the way and achieve commercial mass production.

According to the present invention, a coral culture system comprises: a culture tank having a certain size for breeding corals therein; at least one wavy culture area, placed in the culture tank, having a plurality of culture boards, adjacent to two The end faces of the culture plates are connected to form a tent shape for growing corals on each of the culture plates; a water inlet is arranged on one side of the culture tank for injecting natural seawater into the culture tank; a water outlet disposed on the other side of the culture tank for flowing out the seawater in the culture; and at least one motor disposed at an appropriate position in the culture tank for flowing the natural seawater in a wave manner The at least one wavy culture zone, whereby the coral can be cultured in a mass production and economy in a manner close to the natural growth environment.

Figure 1 is a diagram showing the overall structure of a coral culture system.

Figure 2a and Figure 2b show an example of an implementation of a water outlet in a coral culture system.

As shown in Fig. 1, a coral culture system 10 according to the present invention comprises: a culture tank 11 having a size for breeding corals therein; at least one wavy culture area 12, placed in the culture tank, The utility model has a plurality of culture plates 121, and the end faces of two adjacent culture plates are connected to form a tent shape for growing corals on each of the culture plates; a water inlet 13 is arranged on one side of the culture tank, and is used Injecting natural seawater into the culture tank; a water outlet 14 is disposed on the other side of the culture tank for flowing out the seawater in the culture; And at least one motor 15 disposed at an appropriate position in the culture tank for flowing the natural seawater in the wave-forming manner through the at least one wavy culture area, thereby allowing the coral to be close to the natural growth environment Breeding in mass production.

In the coral breeding system of the present invention, a light lamp 16 may be further included, which is disposed on the culture tank to provide illumination light, and further contains live sand, living rock and/or tool organisms, and is placed in the culture tank. a microorganism for decomposing organic waste in water, and further comprising a temperature control machine (not shown) for regulating the water temperature between 23 ° C and 28 ° C, preferably between 24 ° C and 27 ° C. . Further, the at least one motor 15 is plural, one is disposed beside the water inlet, and at least one is disposed between two adjacent plucked culture plates.

In the creation of the coral breeding system, the tool organism can be a butterfly, a yellow fox, a sand starfish, a sea otter or a hermit crab, and the culture tank is made of Fiber Reinforced Plastic (FRP). At least one side of the culture tank is made into a glass window for observation. The illumination lamp is an LED lamp for providing 200-800 PPFD (μmol/m ² s, photon quantum flux density). According to the coral breeding system of the present invention, each of the tent-shaped culture plates is a green tile, and is inserted and fixed on the inner bottom of the culture tank at an angle of 45°.

In one embodiment of the present creation, the design parameters are as follows:

. Aquaculture tank size

Length: 200 cm inside diameter

Width: inner diameter 100 cm

High: inner diameter 100 cm

. FRP material (to reduce equipment costs)

. 5 cm thick sand and several live stones (about 2/3~1/2 of the bottom area)

. The water surface is about 80 cm high

. 3 sides can be used as a glass window for observation purposes (or only one side)

. LED light source provides 300PPFD

. The green tent shape is a tile culture area, which is made by FRP. The tile can be inserted and fixed with a 45-degree angle groove (the habitat can be increased and the habitat of the fish can be increased. The area is increased as described later)

. Into the water inlet, enter the sea water first through the temperature control base to regulate the temperature

. A plurality of wave-making motors are placed at the side of the water inlet and are placed at a distance of 100 cm (face to face, slightly offset) and opposite the water outlet.

. The single piece of ceramic tile is erected with a slope, the bottom is 47cm wide, the height is 70cm (10cm from the liquid surface), and the slope is 84.31cm (width).

Tile area = 84.31 * 96cm = 8093.76cm ²

4 tiles placed after the wavy culture area of a culture tank: area=8093.76cm ² *4=32375.04cm ²

Compared to the entire area of the cylinder bottom (20000cm ²⁾ can be increased 1.62 times to 1.62 times the cylinder increases a culture of breeding area.

In this creation, the culture tank can be equipped with more than one wave-shaped culture area, and four or more tiles can be placed in each wave-shaped culture area to increase the culture area. Of course, the relevant components are required to be need to add.

In the water outlet 13 shown in FIG. 2a, the outlet pipe 14-1 for providing the water outlet is a right angle, and in the water outlet 13 shown in FIG. 2b, the outlet pipe 14-2 for providing the water outlet is a straight pipe. Both can be designed as an overflow type, and as shown in Fig. 2b, the straight tube can be designed to be utilized at one end of the liquid surface. The left or right inclined surface (as indicated by the arrow) controls the height of the liquid level.
