A system and method of sustainable aquaponics that vertically integrates unique aquaponic system designs with alternative aquaculture fish feed sources, fingerling production methods, alternative aquaculture/farmed fish grow out models, and green energy sources that yield organic produce in the form of fruits and vegetables. A raceway system serves as the hub for grow-out throughout the warm and cold months. During the summer months, fish can be spawned and fed for steady growth, while during the winter months, the fish continue to grow at slower quite acceptable growth rates. Plants like legal (licensed) cannabis for medical use can be grown in plant areas near the raceways with very high yields. The system may also be used to reclaim gray water using the biology of the system to purify it for agricultural use.

The technology provides a plurality of examples for implementing solar cell, solar panels, and solar collection devices on natural looking installations such as faux trees and plants as well as objects mimicking natural ones. The technology allows the installation of solar power generating installations in a distributed manner on land and water. The installation of, for example, artificial plants as carriers of solar cells provides a number of benefits to society in addition to the generation of power. The aesthetics of a community are maintained, while at the same time the need for maintain natural plants is eliminated, providing financial and environmental savings for consumers and municipalities.

A system for storing live seafood, includes: compartments into which the seafood is introduced, a hydraulic circuit to cause water to circulate, an installation for treating the water, characterized in that: the compartments form part of at least one module taking the form of a unit which unit is made of a lightweight material, the water flow generated by the hydraulic circuit enters the compartments via the upstream end and reemerges via the downstream end thereof, the water circulating through the compartments is kept at a temperature of below 25° C.

An enclosed incubation system for production of trout fish is disclosed. The incubation system includes: an ultraviolet unit to disinfect water prior to entering the system, a disinfecting tank to disinfect water, a plurality of water tanks to supply water, a water heater, a plurality of fish tanks, a plurality of inlet and outlet valves, a plurality of canals, a first and a second aeration pump to aerate the plurality of the fish tanks.

A live well oxygen and temperature level alert and control apparatus including a temperature sensor and oxygen sensor con figured to sense the temperature and oxygen level of a live well. The sensed signal is seat to a controlling and monitoring apparatus. The controlling and monitoring apparatus is linked to a heating or cooling control system of the live well. Further, the alert apparatus may be configured to control the supply of the fresh or salt replacement water to the live well by controlling a valve supplying such water. The controlling and monitoring apparatus is configured to alert a user about the oxygen and temperature level of the water inside the live-well and control these levels via a user interface. The further inventive aspects can be embodied in one or more of a display screen, a speaker, and an alarm for communicating oxygen and temperature level to a user.

Modular habitat structure (MHS) which can accommodate one or more live inhabitants is comprised of a rigid pillar which extends linearly away from a base end toward an upper end. A plurality of major system components are disposed at different locations along a length of the rigid pillar. Each of the major system components is comprised of modular segments which individually extend circumferentially around at least a portion of the rigid pillar. The modular configuration of the segments allows user configuration of the MHS by selectively adding or removing one or more segments of each of the major system components.

A method for adjusting an aquarium water temperature through direct heat exchange by a water temperature adjustment apparatus for an aquarium includes: a first step of allowing a smart sensor unit to measure the temperature of the water; a second step of controlling a heat exchange adjuster that sunk in the water to adjust the temperature of the water based on the temperature of the water measured by the smart sensor unit; and a third step of allowing the heat exchange adjuster to adjust direct heat exchange with the water.

The invention relates to a recirculating culture system for cultivating and/or breeding aquatic creatures, comprising: a recirculating system for circulating and controlling the temperature of a fluid, wherein the recirculating system has a culture pool (1) for receiving the fluid, a water reservoir (2) for storing the fluid, a temperature-control device (3) designed to supply thermal energy to and/or remove thermal energy from the fluid, a pump system (4) for circulating the fluid, and a filter system (5) for filtering the fluid; as well as a container (6) having at least one internal space (61), wherein the recirculating system is arranged in the at least one internal space (61) of the container (6).

A method of monitoring water tank includes receiving a temperature data set, a water conductivity data set, and a water level data set, characterizing measurements of a plurality of characteristic properties of water within a water tank by a sensor operatively arranged within the water tank. The method further includes determining a first rule characterizing environmental requirements of the water arranged within the water tank. The method further includes generating an output data set based on the received data sets and the first rule. The method further includes providing the generated output data set. Related apparatus, systems, techniques, and articles are also described.

Modular habitat structure (MHS) which accommodates one or more live inhabitants is comprised of a rigid pillar which extends linearly away from a base end toward an upper end. A plurality of major system components disposed at different locations along a length of the rigid pillar are each comprised of modular segments. A control unit controls a plurality of electronic devices integrated in the MHS, including one or more video cameras which generate live video streams of a wildlife habitat within the MHS, and communicates the video streams from the MHS to a remote computing device.
