A water change system includes an elongate tube and a spout configured to be coupled to the elongate tube. The spout includes a first opening and a second opening spaced from the first opening. The spout is rotatable between a first position to permit water to enter the second opening and pass out of the first opening, and a second position to inhibit water from entering the second opening.

A cleaning device for ponds (1) for interaction with at least one pond filter for removal of solids (2) from the pond (1) has a sediment swirling device (3) with a pump (11) which sucks in a swirling medium and discharges the latter through at least one ejector channel (4, 5) in the area of sedimented solids (2). The cleaning device is self-floating and is provided with a motion drive (14) and a location determination device for the purpose of directional control.

A propeller assembly to facilitate the cleaning of aquaculture nets. The propeller assembly has a centrally disposed hub with a plurality of aluminum alloy blades extending outwardly to a perimeter ring. A plurality of triangular shaped rigid knuckles is coupled to the perimeter ring. A blade spacer is attached to a leading edge of each blade, the blade spacer constructed of a wear resistant material. In operation, rotation of the blades provides thrust for positioning the knuckles against an aquaculture net, whereby the knuckles remove fouling from the aquaculture net by violently shaking the aquaculture net. The blade spacer positions the propeller assembly a predetermined distance from the aquaculture net to protect the leading edge by distance and/or use of a wear resistant material.

A system and method for remote monitoring and command and control of one or many offshore aquafarms is provided. Operators are able to securely access web applications and services hosted in the cloud through which husbandry functions such as feeding fish, cleaning the cage and removing mortalities can be automatically scheduled and executed. Offshore aquafarms relay information, such as environmental sensor data and video feeds back to the cloud to be viewed by the operators.

A hand-held submersible aquarium power cleaner for cleaning debris from an aquarium, includes an elongated housing having an intake compartment and a filtering compartment therein. A nozzle is positioned at a front end of the housing and is in fluid communication with the intake compartment, wherein a selectively openable channel is provided between the intake compartment and the filter compartment. A filter is disposed in fluid communication with the filter compartment. A water pump assembly has an impeller rotatably connected to an electric motor, wherein the impeller is in fluid communication with the intake compartment. A power switch controls power to the electric motor so that rotation of the impeller draws aquarium water and debris through the nozzle and into the filtering compartment, where the debris is captured and retained by the filter and cleansed water is discharged into the aquarium.

The present invention is a jetter assembly for cleaning aquaculture nets in situ. The jetter assembly includes a high-pressure rotational union connected to an outer shroud assembly and an inner washing ring assembly. The rotational union includes a hose inlet connected to a fluid hose, a shaft and a plurality of inner ring segments securing the rotational union to the outer shroud assembly. The outer shroud assembly includes several supporting gussets connecting the outer shroud assembly to the rotational union and several inner and outer shroud sandwich plates connecting several shroud sections. The inner washing ring assembly includes a manifold, several spray bars and a centrifugal vortex plate that generates a fluid vortex to clean the nets.
