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).

Fish tank spray devices of embodiments of the disclosed technology include a length of horizontal pipe with multiple portals arranged in a row which extend into the length of horizontal pipe. Water is sprayed from these portals in embodiments of the disclosed technology. The other side of the pipe is connected to various lengths of pipe which bring the water to the spray bar including a 270 degree bent length of a pipe followed by a 180 degree bent length of pipe having an interior in fluid and direct connection with the length of horizontal pipe. These turns can be adjusted in a transverse direction by rotating connection points within the pipes in two different planes which are perpendicular to each other allowing the spray bar to be oriented parallel and abutting against a length of an inside of the fish tank wall.

A process and apparatus is described for enhancing the efficacy and longevity of vaccines given to fish.

A test device for noninvasive testing of fish habitat selection and application thereof is described herein. The device includes a camera device, a water circulating system, a fish transporting barrel, and a test water tank. The fish transporting barrel is a water barrel with an openable bottom. The central area of the test water tank is arranged as a closed adaptation area, a water outlet is formed in the bottom of the adaptation area. Fish passages are formed in the adaptation area. Test areas with equal sizes are formed around the adaptation area through partition plates. A water inlet is formed in each test area. Water flow buffering plates are arranged corresponding to the water inlets. Fish passages are formed in the bottoms of the partition plates of the test areas. The water inlets of the test areas are connected to the water circulating system.

A device for high density culture of fish larvae includes: a nursery tank, a first aerotube, a standing mesh drain pipe, and a dual-drain recirculating water treatment system. The nursery tank is a rounded corner tank or a polygonal tank without dead corners. The first aerotube is disposed around the bottom of the inner wall of the nursery tank. The standing mesh drain pipe is disposed in the center of the bottom of the nursery tank. The dual-drain recirculating water treatment system includes a first water treatment system and a second water treatment system. The first water treatment system and the second water treatment system are symmetrically disposed on both sides of the nursery tank, respectively. The first water treatment system is configured to purify upper layer water of the nursery tank, and the second water treatment system is configured to purify lower layer water of the nursery tank.

An automatic calcium reactor preferably includes a reactor body, a carbon dioxide separator, a salt water pump, a recycling venturi and an electronic controller. The reactor body includes a lower chamber and an upper chamber. A source of calcium is placed in the upper chamber. The carbon dioxide separator is suspended near a top of the upper chamber. A salt water outlet is formed through a side wall of the reactor body. Salt water from the aquarium and salt water from the reactor body are fed into the salt water pump. A recycling venturi includes a salt water inlet, a carbon dioxide inlet and an outlet, which is connected to the lower chamber. A float switch is retained near a top of the upper chamber. Rising salt water inside the upper chamber trips the float switch and opens the carbon dioxide valve through the electronic controller.
