Abstract
An aerated recirculated aquaculture system including a culture tank and an aeration and circulation system. The culture tank houses live aquaculture. The culture tank defines a first flow path. The aeration and circulation system includes an aeration device configured to aerate water. The aeration device defines a second flow path. The first flow path and second flow path at least partially defining a substantially closed flow path sequentially passing through the culture tank and the aeration device. The aeration and circulation system is configured to circulate the water around the substantially closed flow path.
Claims34
An aerated recirculated aquaculture system, comprising:
- (a) a culture tank for housing live aquaculture, said culture tank defining a first flow path;
- and
- (b) an aeration and circulation system including an aeration device configured to aerate water, said aeration device defining a second flow path, said first flow path and said second flow path at least partially defining a substantially closed flow path sequentially passing through said culture tank and said aeration device, said aeration and circulation system being configured to circulate the water around said substantially closed flow path.
An airlift pump system, comprising:
- (a) a conduit having a top opening and a bottom opening, said conduit defining a flow path from said bottom opening to said top opening;
- and
- (b) a dispensing arrangement having a plurality of holes configured for enabling injection of air into the water causing a plurality of bubbles to form in said conduit, said holes substantially covering a majority of said dispensing arrangement, said dispensing arrangement having at least one opening configured to allow passage of the water through said dispensing arrangement, such that a majority of the water flowing in said flow path passes through said dispensing arrangement between a majority of said holes.
A cleaning system for cleaning contaminated water in a tank, the tank being configured for having the water flow therein in a defined flow path, the tank having an internal bottom surface, the system comprising:
- (a) a collection opening disposed adjacent to the internal bottom surface of the tank configured for removing a bottom layer of contaminated water flowing through the tank;
- (b) a collection container for collecting said bottom layer therein;
- and
- (c) a pumping arrangement configured to remove said bottom layer from said collection container, said pumping arrangement being configured to pump at a rate which is sufficient to ensure that said bottom layer is removed from the tank via said collection opening.
