SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SMART AQUACULTURE
20210045364 · 2021-02-18 ·

A smart aquaculture method is provided for an aquaculture system including a breeding pool, a feeding machine and a camera disposed in the breeding pool. The method includes: taking an underwater image by the camera; calculating a feed remaining amount according to the underwater image; and controlling the feeding machine according to the feed remaining amount to dispense feed to the breeding pool.

System and method for shrimp cultivation

A system includes a housing; a water tank positioned within the housing, wherein an inside of the water tank is sealed to prevent contact between material forming the water tank and water within the water tank; a water movement subsystem causing water to circulate within the water tank, including a baffle extending along the center of the water tank dividing the water tank into a circular raceway, and a pump causing water to circulate; an aeration subsystem maintaining an oxygenation level suitable for crustaceans to live within the water tank; a temperature control subsystem maintaining a water temperature suitable for crustaceans to live within the water tank; a water quality monitoring subsystem monitoring a water quality parameter of water within the water tank; a feeding subsystem configured to dispense food into the water tank; a biofloc removal subsystem configured to remove biofloc from the water tank; and a control system.

Carbon Dioxide Underwater Delivery Device and Supplementation System
20210015086 · 2021-01-21 ·

A delivery device and system to supplement CO.sub.2 in an underwater environment without the need for electricity or the use of compressed CO.sub.2. The device consists of a container containing a biological organism such as mycelium and including an exit portal for CO.sub.2 to enter the underwater environment. The device may also incorporate a separation device to delay and control the flow of CO.sub.2. The system requires the device to be held in place through a securing point in the underwater environment. The minimum requirements for the device are described, but in certain instances it will be preferably used with a double-bag or an outer shell housing to protect or aesthetically conceal the placement underwater. The use of this device and system to supplement carbon dioxide in water will span many industries and applications. It will assist with mosquito trapping. It will also supplement CO.sub.2 in underwater growing environments.

ANIMAL FEED DISPENSER

The invention concerns an animal feed dispenser (1), comprising:a control module (100) comprising a detection member and an electronic control card, the detection member being suitable for generating a detection signal when the feed dispenser (1) is located close to an enclosure containing animals,a feed dispensing module (200) comprising a feed dispensing orifice (210) and an actuator (216), wherein the electronic control card of the control module (100) is configured to receive the detection signal and, as a function of the detection signal, to transmit an activation signal to the actuator (216), and the actuator (216) is configured to trigger a flow of feed through the dispensing orifice (210) when it receives the activation signal.

FEEDBACK FEEDING SYSTEM FOR POND RECIRCULATION WITH FUSION OF MACHINE VISION AND INFRARED DETECTION
20200375155 · 2020-12-03 ·

Disclosed is a feedback feeding system pond recirculation with fusion of machine vision and infrared detection. Feeding strategies are provided according to the feeding behavior of fish in cooperative with machine vision technology and infrared sensing technology. The pond recirculating aquaculture is an open environment. The change of natural environment may affect the feedback signal of the fish feeding behavior provided by the machine vision due to the low visibility; or it may affect the feedback signal of the fish feeding behavior provided by the infrared detection because low temperature may decrease feeding intensity. The fusion of these two strategies can solve the problem of intelligent feeding strategies in the pond recirculating aquaculture mode.
