20230247971 · 2023-08-10 ·

A system for transferring marine life within an aquaculture facility including a plurality of segregated storage facilities each containing water for marine life, maintained within a predetermined temperature range and supported at independent ground levels. The storage facilities are successively disposed and structured to contain marine life at different stages of growth. A transfer assembly includes a path of fluid flow interconnecting successive ones of said plurality of storage facilities in fluid communication with one another, wherein at least a majority of a length of said path of fluid flow is disposed beneath the independent ground levels at a predetermined depth, which is sufficient to facilitate maintenance of the path of fluid flow within the predetermined temperature range, via geothermal cooling. The transfer assembly may also connect a holding facility, which may be dimensioned and structured to transfer mature marine life, possibly on an on-demand basis, to the harvesting facility.

System and method for promoting attachment and growth of bivalve organisms on coastal structures

A curtain enclosure formed from a flexible, non-permeable membrane is positioned adjacent to a section of riprap or similarly configured structure that has been installed along a shoreline. The curtain is stretched around rigid elongate posts and extends outward into the water from the edge of the riprap to create an enclosed containment area formed between the interior of the curtain and the edge of the riprap. The bottom of the curtain is weighted to sit along the bed of the water body and resist movement in that position. Once the curtain enclosure has been formed, larval bivalve organisms, such as oyster larvae, are poured into the curtain enclosure, and thereafter the curtain enclosure is maintained in that position for a period sufficient to promote attachment and growth of the larvae on the riprap.

HOME AQUARIUM AND METHODS

An aquarium requiring no more than only a single power connection. The aquarium includes: (a) a transparent tank having a surrounding wall with an enclosure rim surrounding an open top and an opposite closed bottom wall; (b) an electrically powered lighting arrangement; (c) an electrically powered pump oriented within an interior of the tank; (d) a base supporting the tank under the bottom wall of the tank; and (e) a junction box integrally formed with the base and having an aperture arrangement accessible from adjacent the surrounding wall having an electrical power port for removable insertion of an electrical power cord to provide power for the lighting arrangement and the pump.
