Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-storage media, for a lighting controller for sea lice detection. In some implementations, fish are contained within an elliptical tank filled with water. An imaging station located on the elliptical tank is used to capture an image of a fish from which image analysis can be performed to detect sea lice or other skin features, including lesions, on the fish. Pairs of imaging assemblies coordinate pulsing light of at least a first and a second color and capturing images of the fish while the fish is illuminated by at least the first and the second color. By using the captured images with different color light, computers can detect features on the body of a fish including sea lice, skin lesions, shortened operculum or other physical deformities and skin features. Detection results can aid in mitigation techniques or be stored for analytics. For example, sea lice detection results can inform targeted treatments comprised of lasers, fluids, or mechanical devices such as a brush or suction.

A fish tank includes a first water chamber for providing living space for fish; a second water chamber in fluid connection with the first water chamber with a grating therebetween. The openings of the grating are sized to keep the first water chamber and the second water chamber fluidly connected but prevent fish or other aquatic animals from entering the second water chamber. In an embodiment, a one-way valve allows water to flow out of the second water chamber and prevents water from flowing back into the first water chamber. A removable syringe with a plunger, a barrel and an orifice is provided such that when the orifice is connected to the one-way valve means and the plunger is pulled out of the barrel, water in the second water chamber flows into the barrel of the removable syringe through the one-way valve means.

The present invention relates to a plant terrarium assembly for containing a plant, the plant terrarium assembly comprising an at least partially transparent housing enclosing an inner volume, the transparent housing comprising a top side, and an opening defined by a rim, a closing member configured to be moved between a closed position and an open position in order to open and close the opening in the housing, wherein the closing member has an inner side and an outer side, wherein in the closed position the inner side faces the inner volume, and wherein the outer side is configured to form a bottom side of the plant terrarium assembly and to be placed on a base surface.

An aquarium includes a tank body and a water pump, wherein the water pump includes a stator and a rotor and the tank body includes a tank wall; a rotor chamber arranged at one side of the tank wall close to inside of the tank body and configured to accommodate the rotor; a rotation shaft configured to support the rotor and arranged in the rotor chamber; an impeller configured to connect with the rotor and arranged in the rotor chamber; and a stator chamber configured to accommodate the stator, arranged at one side of the tank wall close to outside of the tank body and arranged corresponding to the rotor chamber so that the stator can drive the rotor.

A device for fish reproduction, hatching and larval culture including an aeration device, a first netted division plate, a second netted division plate, a first water pump, a first net cage, a second water pump, and a second net cage. When in use, the device is disposed in a pond. The pond includes a breeding area, a hatching area, and a nursery area, and each of the breeding area, the hatching area, and the nursery area communicates with the other two. The first netted division plate is disposed between the breeding area and the hatching area, and a first water recirculating loop is formed between the breeding area and the hatching area to drive water to flow from the breeding area to the hatching area, and back to the breeding area. The second netted division plate is disposed between the hatching area and the nursery area.

A storage assembly includes a body with a space defined axially therethrough. A tray is connected to the top of the body and multiple pivotable members are pivotably connected to the body and the tray. Each member includes a reception portion for storage purpose, and a cover is mounted to the reception portion. A tube is inserted in a connection portion of the tray and receives fishes and plants in the tube. A base is connected to the underside of the body and is connected with a light device on the top thereof. The pivotable members can be pivoted to enclose the tube or to be pivoted outward around the tube.

Automated terrariums and methods of using the terrariums are disclosed. The automated terrarium comprises a housing having a base and a lid, wherein the lid is supported by at least two support pillars. The terrarium also comprises at least two transparent side panels supported by the at least two support pillars and positioned between the base and the lid, an irrigation system within the base, a lighting system within the lid, and a control unit. The control unit is adapted to monitor growth of the plant and adjust the irrigation system, heating system, airflow system, and/or lighting system.

An apparatus and method for coral husbandry including a frame configured to attach to an aquaculture raceway, a carriage having a plurality of tools mounted thereon, the carriage being attached to the frame and configured to move relative to the frame, the plurality of tools comprising a rotary tool having a tool member attached thereto, a nozzle configured for at least one-way fluid communication, and an inspection instrument for monitoring and cataloguing coral reef specimens.

A compact (such as a 4″×7′×7″) decorative, self-contained, internet-connected low maintenance terrarium that is completely passive and contains no moving parts. The terrarium device is such that it can sustain itself, with no human maintenance necessary, for several weeks at a time. The terrarium has a computer processor, wireless connectivity, one or more LED lights, and a durable optical water sensor and reservoir design. The terrarium is configured with embedded and connected logic for full internet of things (IoT) functionality.

An enclosure capable of supporting one or more phyla of living plants and organisms includes various panels that form the enclosure along with at one front door panel movable to provide access to the interior of the enclosure. A water inlet port is arranged in the top assembly. A drainage system is located on the bottom of the enclosure includes a sloped drainage panel, a sump, and a drain tube. The enclosure further includes an air circulation and ventilation system having the upper vent screen and a lower vent screen separable by a circulation distance that generates a chimney effect within the enclosure. The enclosure may also include a microfauna trough on top of the drainage panel.
