Embodiments of the invention provide a tank assembly with a main housing enclosing an inner volume, and an outlet section positioned extending from one end of the main housing that includes a front cavity with an outlet volume and an adjacent outlet channel. Some embodiments include at least one removable filter configured to be inserted at least partially into main housing forming at least a filtered volume and a fluidly coupled main volume. Some embodiments include a removable tank baffle including at least one central channel and a plurality of baffle apertures. In some embodiments, the central channel is configured to be fluidly coupled to the outlet channel when the removable tank baffle is positioned in the main housing. Further, the plurality of baffle apertures are configured to be fluidly coupled to the outlet volume when the removable tank baffle is positioned in the main housing.

This invention relates to a system for detecting and retrieving selected specimens being at least one of fish eggs, roe or fry, from a water containing hatching tray. The system including retrieving unit including a tube having a width comparable to the size of the specimens to be retrieved, the tube end being configured to be position in the water, and a pump device cable of pumping water and specimens from said tray. It also includes a robot unit moving the retrieving unit in a predetermined path related to a first reference system over said tray. The system also includes an imaging device being configured to detect and select specimens having chosen characteristics, and a control unit defining a second reference system defined by the position of a selected specimen relative to the position of the retrieving unit, the system being configured to move the tube end to the position of the selected specimen and pumping the specimen into the tube.

The sex of embryos in eggs is influenced or controlled through the application of light having selected wavelengths in order to promote the development of embryos of a selected sex. An incubating device is provided having an interior cavity that can be sealed from an outside, and having a plurality of lighting elements disposed on each of a plurality of trays disposed in the interior cavity. Eggs are disposed on the trays, and pre-determined environmental conditions are applied to the interior cavity to promote hatching of the eggs. Concurrently with the application of the environmental conditions, the eggs are irradiated according to pre-determined lighting conditions. The lighting conditions include applying light having wavelengths substantially concentrated in selected ranges, such as light wavelengths within the 390-419 nm, 410-450 nm, 420-450 nm, 450-495 nm, or other narrow range.

Provided is a method for artificial rearing of porcupine pufferfish fries in indoor cement ponds. The method includes the following steps: indoor cement pond preparation, release hatched larvae into the indoor cement pond, feed and manage the larvae at different sub-stages of the fry rearing stages, water quality management during fry rearing, separate ponding of fries based on size of the fries, and transfer the fries to net cages or outdoor ponds when the fries reach a minimum length. The indoor cement pond preparation step may include disinfecting the pond and regulating the water quality. During the rearing stage, the method may include stimulating anti-stress physiological response of the larvae. The method may transfer fries with an average total length of more than 2.0 cm into net cages or outdoor ponds for aquaculture after 45 days of the rearing stage.
