An aquarium filtering and purifying system includes an upper display tank and a lower filter tank. The water from the upper tank can be delivered to the lower tank to a filter, such as within a surrounding filter fabric or membrane, such as a filter sock. An air tube can also be inserted into the filter tank to an unfiltered side of the filter, such as within the filter sock, to deliver air bubbles into the filter tank. The air tube can have an air stone at the end thereof to diffuse the air bubbles. Further air stones can be provided on an outside of the sock in the first compartment. Filtered water is delivered to a second compartment in the filter tank. The next compartment can have sand, and/or rocks and/or algae and/or a clean-up crew to assist in purifying the water. Water from the second compartment then passes to a third compartment, through a bubble trap, and then is pumped back to the display tank. Alternatively, the first compartment can be provided with a macro algae bed instead of a filter sock.

A larvae counter comprising a first container for receiving water, eggs of insects and/or larvae, a second container in fluid communication with the first container for receiving water and larvae from the first container, and a larvae counting module in fluid communication with the second container for receiving water and larvae from the second container and counting the larvae.

Disclosed are livewell systems and methods of operating livewell systems. A livewell system may include a livewell tank having a chamber formed therein, a fill sensor configured to detect a fill level of the chamber, an intake pump configured to selectively convey water into the chamber, and a control unit including a processor and a memory storing instructions. The processor may be configured to execute the instructions to receive a fill signal, determine whether the chamber is filled to a predetermined fill level; and in response to the fill signal and a determination that the chamber is not filled to the predetermined fill level, cause the intake pump to convey water into the chamber.

The present invention relates to a method of raising fish in a recirculated aquaculture system which includes a fish holding unit in fluid communication with a water supply, the fish holding unit containing a volume of water defining a water depth, and having an osmotic concentration, an oxygen concentration, a temperature, and a pH. The method includes providing a flow of non-recirculated water to the water supply, the non-recirculated water being different from the water in the fish holding unit with respect to the osmotic concentration, the oxygen concentration, the CO2 concentration, the N2 concentration, the NH4+ concentration, the temperature and/or the pH, providing feed pellets, adding the feed pellets to the non-recirculated water and hydraulically transporting the feed pellets to the fish holding unit. The invention also relates to a RAS facility.

An aquaculture system (1) for farming aquatic organisms includes an apparatus (2) for supplying oxygenated water into an enclosure (20) in which aquatic organisms are to be fanned. The apparatus (2) includes a water inlet (4) and an oxygen inlet (6) to create a water and oxygen mixture. The apparatus (2) also includes a venturi (17) arranged to dissolve the oxygen into the water passing through the venturi and such that the oxygen and water mixture passing through the venturi (17) is exposed to a substantially null magnetic field. The apparatus is also arranged such that the water and oxygen mixture that is supplied to the venturi (17) contains substantially no colloidal minerals. The apparatus also includes an outlet (18) for the oxygenated water in fluid communication with, and downstream of, the venturi (17) and in fluid communication with the inlet of the enclosure (20).

Portable and interchangeable marine tiles, marine pods and tanks are disclosed. The marine tile typically contains a first face, a second face, and one or more sites for supporting one or more marine organisms, such as coral, and. may contain a tracking device. The marine pod typically contains a first panel having a first slit and a second panel having a second slit. The first panel and the second panel can be interlocked via sliding the first slit into the second slit. The marine pod can have one or more marine tiles attached thereto. The marine tank typically contains one or more coral reef organisms. Water can be pumped into and through the marine tank to flow in the form of a river stream. Typically, the flow of the seawater is controlled such that a consistent temperature is maintained in the marine tank.

An integrated coral cultivation system includes a water tank unit having at least one aquaculture tank configured to contain corals, a water supply unit for supplying aquaculture water to the water tank unit, a drain unit for discharging the aquaculture water in the water supply unit and the aquaculture tank to the outside, an air supply unit for supplying air to the water tank unit, a temperature adjustment unit for adjusting the temperature of the aquaculture water in the water tank unit, a light unit for providing lighting to the water tank unit, and a power source unit for supplying power to the water supply unit, the air supply unit, the temperature adjustment unit and the light unit.

A climate controlled display cabinet includes a frame. A stationary shelf is coupled to the frame. A plurality of operable shelves is coupled to at least one of the frame and the stationary shelf. The operable shelves are moveable between open and closed positions. A heat source is in thermal communication with the stationary shelf and the plurality of operable shelves. At least one temperature sensor monitors a temperature of an area proximate the stationary shelf and the plurality of operable shelves.

An array system of passive solar aquaponic and mushroom production structures, each having a glazing on a sun facing side to maximize winter sunlight; a plant growing area; a mushroom growing area; a water wall thermal mass integrated and disposed between the plant and mushroom growing areas; a fish tank; a saltwater basin under the plant growing holding saltwater; a natural air ventilation system providing misted air to the mushroom growing area and receiving O2 from the plant growing provided to the mushroom growing area, and CO2 generated by the mushroom growing area provided to the plant growing area; and saltwater channels delivering saltwater to the saltwater basins from a saltwater source, and which is evaporated by solar heat generated by the plant growing areas in order to generate freshwater.

There is a modular, insulated, all-in-one, plug-and-play (MIAP) aquaponics unit that includes a framework having a single base and plural walls; an aquaculture tank defined by a first portion of the single base and a first set of the plural walls; a clarifier tank defined by a second portion of the single base and a second set of the plural walls; a bio-reactor tank defined by a third portion of the single base and a third set of the plural walls; a hydroponics tank defined by a fourth portion of the single base and a fourth set of the plural walls; and piping extending through the plural walls between each two adjacent tanks for allowing water from the aquaculture tank to flow into the clarifier tank and then into the bio-reactor tank and then into the hydroponics tank and back to the aquaculture tank.
