Definitions

  • the invention relates to fish farming facilities. Specifically, a system for minimizing pum p energy and maximizing sedimentation in a closed fish farm where the water flows in one direction through the plant.
  • Salmon louse is a species of copepod. It lives like a marine parasite on salmonids. It feeds on the mucus, skin and blood of the fish.
  • the head is wide and shield-shaped and is used as a suction cup.
  • the back body is narrower and, in the female, filled with eggs.
  • the female's hindquarters also have two long egg sacs or spines.
  • At the free flowing nauplius stage, it has a length of 0.54 to 0.85 mm.
  • In the copepodite stage it is approx. 0.7 mm long and attacks the fish.
  • At the chalimus stage it is 1.2 to 2.8 mm long.
  • Salmon lice are a naturally occurring ectoparasite that have direct transmission between hosts (salmon) by means of planktonic larval stages. They are light sensitive and reside mainly in the top 10 meters of the water masses, where we also produce the salmon. With the increase in salmon production, the problem of salmon lice has also exploded and is the biggest fish health problem the fish farming industry has. The industry has struggled with salmon lice for many years and has been dependent on chemotherapeutic treatments, but its frequent and continuous use has led to the development of reduced sensitivity and resistance to these in salmon lice.
  • the system for minimizing pumping energy and maximizing sedimentation and supplying sufficient oxygen by means of natural seawater without salmon lice to a closed, escape-safe aquaculture facility is based on solid ground, according to claim 1, solving the aquaculture industry's 3 biggest problems without exploding costs like traditional land based farms.
  • the invention describes a system for minimizing energy consumption and maximizing sedimentation and supplying sufficient oxygen by means of natural seawater without salmon lice to a closed fish farm based on solid ground.
  • the system comprises a closed basin located such that the water inlets and the water outlets have access to two different currents of water, the basin having separate watertight parallel raceways.
  • Each raceway comprises one water intake pipe having at least one escape barrier connected to an inlet end of the raceway and having at least one flow unit which retrieves seawater from below salmon lice level.
  • Each raceway further comprises a water outlet pipe having at least one escape barrier connected to an opposite outlet end of the raceway.
  • the water outlet pipe has an equal cross-sectional area as the inlet pipe and has at least one flow unit and means for sludge extraction from the raceway.
  • the inlet pipes and outlet pipes of the raceways have respectively an inlet opening and an outlet opening located at a level below the lowest low tide and an upper edge of the basin is positioned above the highest high tide.
  • the cross- sectional area (measured in m 2 ) in the pipes Ap ipe and the raceway, A RW is according to the relation:
  • Fig. 1 is a top view of a land-based fish farm facility with a basin containing fish raceways.
  • Fig. 2 shows a basin with inlet and outlet as seen from the side.
  • Fig. 3 Shows a favorable location in a landscape.
  • Fig. 4 shows a horizontal fish barrier and a vertical separation network in a fish raceway.
  • Fig. 5 shows the relationship between pump power needed and pipe diameter.
  • FIG. 1 shows a land-based fish farming facility according to the invention.
  • the fish farm includes a closed fish basin 1 where the water level is kept at the same height as the tide.
  • On one side of the fish farm there is a plurality of water intake pipes 2 which collect seawater from below the salmon lice level as shown in FIG. 2, that is, from below 10 - 15 meters, and on the other side there is a plurality of water outlet pipes 3.
  • Inlet pipes and outlet pipes 2, 3 of the raceways have an inlet opening 8 and an outlet opening 9 respectively, both of which are located at a level below the lowest low tide.
  • Inlet pipes and outlet pipes are both equipped with at least one escape barrier 16 each as shown in FIG. 2.
  • the depth of the basin is of the same order of magnitude as the width of the raceway 4.
  • the breeding channels may be tubular structures resting on the bottom of the basin.
  • the length of the raceway should be roughly 5 to 20 times the width of the raceway, more preferred roughly 10 times the width.
  • the fish farm must be at rest, unaffected by weather, wind and waves. The latter is difficult to achieve with floating fish farms.
  • the height of which the water is to be moved must be reduced to close to 0. Furthermore, the friction in the pipes carrying water to a nd from the fish farm must be reduced. Larger diameters of the pipes give less friction pr. volume of water. Different pumping methods give different amounts of turbulence. Slow-moving large propellers produce less turbulence compared to small and fast propellers or turbines.
  • inlet pipes and outlet pipes must also have a large diameter in relation to the water needed in the basin in question. The water level in the basin will then follow the tide.

  • the cheapest way to meet the oxygen demand of the fish is using the oxygen naturally found in the seawater. Therefore the oxygen demand of the fish and the oxygen content of the seawater controls how much water is needed in a fish raceway.
  • the oxygen need for the fish increases with temperature while the oxygen content of the seawater decreases with increasing temperature. That is, everything must be dimensioned for maximum
  • ton fish is the number of tons of fish in the raceway.
  • the outlet does not necessarily have to be a pipe, it may be smart to express this as a cross-sectional area measured in m 2 :
  • a raceway according to the invention has 8000 tons of fish, it should have access to at least 8 tons of oxygen per day (consumption of 3-8 kg. oxygen per ton of fish in per day or 2.1 - 5.5 g of oxygen per tons of fish per minute).
  • oxygen content in the seawater in Northern Norway at 15 degrees, it provides a desired flow of water of approximately 500 tons of seawater per minute, including safety margins.
  • the desired minimum diameter becomes different.
  • the partition walls 7 in the raceways 1 are dimensioned to be able to stand when the basin and raceway are dry, but do not have to be dimensioned to withstand the pressure that occurs if two adjacent raceways are full and empty respectively.
  • large portions of the partition walls of the raceways are a waterproof cloth that is attached to a skeleton.
  • the location of the basin is important. Ideal location is on a relatively small elongated island with relatively good flow on both sides and with depths over 20 meters in the immediate vicinity. With such a position as shown in FIG. 3, the plant can access two independent current systems, indicated by arrows A and B, which prevent the outlet water from coming into contact with the inlet and the pipe lengths can be relatively short to reduce cost and resistance. In the case of smaller installations or upgraded treatment of the out flow, proximity to the sea with depths above 20 meters will be sufficient. Furthermore, the basin must be positioned such that the sea does not float in the event of storms and there must be opportunities for logistical solutions in the form of access for boat or truck, preferably both.
  • inlet 2 and outlet 3, basin 3 and raceway 4 is also influenced by the tidal difference in the area. With large tidal differences, large variations in fish volume become problematic.
  • the farm according to the invention should work well for up to 6 meters maximum tidal difference.
  • lowest low tide is meant a level that is somewhat lower than the Lowest Astronomical Low tide (LAT) and does not go below the upper point of the intake and outlet pipes more than at most once a year.
  • high high tide is meant a level which is above the Highest Astronomical High Tide (HAT) and does not exceed the upper edge of the basin more than at most once a year.

  • the flow units 17 are large diameter propellers 17 which move slowly such that the flow is as turbulent free as possible.
  • sludge collection means comprise a horizontal fish barrier 20 at the bottom of the raceway throughout its length where the fish are located and which prevents the fish from swirling up sedimented feed residues and feces and at least one sludge hoover 21, or sludge extractor, under the fish barrier which sucks up the sedimented sludge and brings it to a sedimentation tank 23 via a sludge pipe 27 where the solids content is further increased, as indicated in Figures 1 and 3.

  • the sludge is pumped via a depot pipe 28 to a sludge depot 24 where it is stored for further transport or further processing, as shown in Figure 1.
  • a portion of a downstream end of the fish raceway is blocked with a separating net 25 as shown in FIG. 4. It will cause less turbulence because the fish does not swim in this area which is not burdened with feces and fodder. Thus, the sedimentation will improve.

  • water inlet pipes and water outlet pipes can be closed with inflatable sealing balloons and the water can then be pumped out with mobile pumps.
  • One of the major benefits of a fish farm of this type is the ability to purify the water passing through the fish farm. Because the water flows in one direction through the plant in a uniform laminar flow, the opportunities for sedimentation in the raceway are optimal. This is difficult to achieve at sea because of waves and currents affecting floating facilities. The best result of the sedimentation is obtained by using a process comprising the steps described below.

  • a typical speed in a 100 meter long raceway with a diameter of 14 meters will be about 0.07 m / s.
  • the water will be in the raceway approx half an hour and this gives enough time for a fair amount of the solids to precipitate.
  • the third step is to continuously remove sedimented sludge from the bottom of the raceway through sludge collection means 12 as previously described.
  • the fourth step is to pump precipitated sludge removed from the bottom of the raceway to the sedimentation tank, while the fifth step is to pump sludge that has been processed in the sedimentation tank to the sludge depot. For these pumping operations it may be
  • the separator may be a separator or mesh that prevents the fish from swimming downstream of the separator. There, the water can be treated without having to pay attention to the fish. For example, coagulants or flocculants may be added and sludge collection means of the same type as in the raceways may be added to the cleaning basin.
  • An added bonus of the fish farm according to the invention is that the increased degree of control of the water the fish swim in allows for a much greater degree of accuracy in measuring parameters that are of interest to fish health and fish farming. This is also on a much larger scale than traditional land-based plants. Furthermore, medication and processing of fish is more controlled and easier compared to net cage operations. It is also relatively easy to scale up the purification of the water from the water outlet pipes because the water come out of pipes and are not mixed with seawater in the first place.
