AN AQUACULTURE FEED WITH HIGH WATER AND OIL CONTENT AND A SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING SAID AQUACULTURE FEED
The present invention relates to a system and a method of manufacturing a feed product for farmed animals in an aquaculture environment, including but not limited to fish, shrimps, and crabs. The method of manufacturing the aquaculture feed comprising the steps of providing and contacting water, a fatty acid component, a protein source, and a feed stabiliser, and a suspension is formed. The feed stabiliser has a setting condition represented by a setting component. The feed stabiliser is contacted with the water at an activation condition, and the concentration of the setting component in the shaped suspension is increased to the setting condition of the feed stabiliser to obtain the aquaculture feed.
Systems and methods of intensive recirculating aquaculture
Systems and methods for intensive recirculating aquaculture are provided herein. An example system includes water sourced from a first segment of a saline aquifer, a recirculating aquaculture system receiving the sourced water and producing discharge water, and a water discharge point located within a second segment of the saline aquifer disposed below the first segment of the saline aquifer.

Peristaltic metering pump and methods of operation
A peristaltic pump is provided for conveying a fluid pumping medium through a compressible hose. The pump is designed particularly for use in an aquarium, terrarium, or vivarium for metering fluids accurately and reliably by eliminating permanent tubing deformation and random stopping positions of rollers.
Method and system for fungi production in an aquaponics system
The present invention is an aquaponic assembly, comprising at least one tank, wherein the tank is sized to contain a predetermined quantity and species of fish; a radial flow settler connected to the at least one tank, wherein the radial flow settler receives a liquid from the at least one tank, wherein the liquid contains fish excrement and the radial flow settler sorts solid excrement from the liquid; a mineralization system is connected to the radial flow settler, wherein the liquid from the radial flow settler undergoes a mineralization process to adjust the composition of the liquid; a series of liquid beds connected to the mineralization system, wherein the liquid passes through the series of liquid beds; and a plurality of substrates positioned within the liquid beds.

ENGINEERED RECIRCULATING AQUACULTURE FISH POND AND FISH CULTURE METHOD
An engineered recirculating aquaculture fish pond and a fish culture method are provided. The engineered recirculating aquaculture fish pond is simple to operate, has strong adaptability to different culture environments or culture varieties, and is not only suitable for large-scale aquaculture enterprises but also suitable for small-scale farmers. An aeration water lifting device is designed to simultaneously perform aeration and drainage, which can reduce the use of electric equipment, decrease the production and maintenance cost, improve the cost performance of single equipment, and save the internal use space of the pond. Nozzles are arranged in more than two directions, which is convenient for performing aeration in different directions, uniformly dispersing impurities carried in water in a deep ditch, intercepting to reduce local blockage, improving a single utilization rate of an intercept structure, and preventing heavier impurities from accumulating at a channel bottom of the deep ditch.
CLOG FREE BAITWELL FILTER SYSTEM
A clog free baitwell filter system for baitwell systems that use a drain tube has a filter tube configured to fit over a baitwell drain tube. The filter tube has a plurality of filter tube holes around the periphery wherein water passes through the plurality of filter tube holes. A filter fitting is configured to fit over a standard baitwell plumbing drain fixture; and a clog free filter cap removably disposed over a top portion of said filter tube.
Turnkey aquaponics system
A home aquaponics grow bed having a hydroponic growing bed with a removable filter component, a depression in the hydroponic growing bed, a removable lid that houses plant and/or plants, and a port and/or hole for allowing water to flow out of the invention and into the fish tank. The grow bed attaches to standard fish tank aquariums converting the fish tank aquariums into a home aquaponics gardening kit. The grow bed enables a user to grow fresh aquaponics herbs, microgreens, medicinal plants, and vegetables in their home using a freshwater aquarium.
Method for improving quality of aquaculture pond water using a nutrient germinant composition and spore incubation method
A method for improving the quality of pond water used in aquaculture applications by adding to the pond water active bacteria that are preferably germinated from spores on site using a nutrient-germinant composition and an incubation method for increased spore germination efficiency, in combination with a nitrification enhancement agent such as calcium carbonate or calcified seaweed, and an optional reaction surface area modifier such as calcified seaweed or plastic or metal particles or fragments. The nutrient-germinant composition comprises L-amino acids, D-glucose and/or D-fructose, a phosphate buffer, an industrial preservative, and may include bacteria spores (preferably of one or more Bacillus species) or they may be separately combined for germination. The incubation method comprises heating a nutrient germinant composition and bacteria spores, to a temperature range of 35° C. to 60° C. for around 2 to 60 minutes to produce an incubated bacteria solution that is discharged to the aquaculture application.
