Abstract
A system for transferring marine life within an aquaculture facility including a plurality of segregated storage facilities each containing water for marine life, maintained within a predetermined temperature range and supported at independent ground levels. The storage facilities are successively disposed and structured to contain marine life at different stages of growth. A transfer assembly includes a path of fluid flow interconnecting successive ones of said plurality of storage facilities in fluid communication with one another, wherein at least a majority of a length of said path of fluid flow is disposed beneath the independent ground levels at a predetermined depth, which is sufficient to facilitate maintenance of the path of fluid flow within the predetermined temperature range, via geothermal cooling.
Claims20
A system for transferring marine life within an aquaculture facility, said system comprising:
- a plurality of storage facilities each including containment water for marine life, maintained within a predetermined temperature range,
- said plurality of storage facilities including at least a first and a second storage facility,
- said first and said second storage facilities segregated and disposed at independent ground levels,
- a transfer assembly disposed in interconnecting relation between said first and second storage facilities,
- said transfer assembly comprising a path of fluid flow from said first storage facility to at least said second storage facility,
- at least a majority of a length of said path of fluid flow disposed beneath the independent ground levels at a predetermined depth, and
- said predetermined depth sufficient to substantially maintain said path of fluid flow within said predetermined temperature range.
A system for transferring marine life within an aquaculture facility, said system comprising:
- a plurality of storage facilities each including containment water for marine life, maintained within a predetermined temperature range,
- said plurality of storage facilities segregated from one another and disposed at revised ground levels,
- said plurality of storage facilities disposed and structured to contain marine life at different stages of growth,
- a transfer assembly comprising a path of fluid flow dimensioned to transfer aquaculture there along, said path of fluid flow interconnecting successively communicating ones of said plurality of storage facilities in fluid communication with one another,
- at least a majority of a length of said path of fluid flow disposed beneath the revised ground levels at a predetermined depth, and
- said predetermined depth sufficient to substantially maintain said path of fluid flow within said predetermined temperature range.
