Claims17
A method for enhancing the production of aquatic organisms under cultivation, including the steps of:
- exposing the aquatic organisms under cultivation to light from illumination means within water of an aquatic rearing means, the illumination means forming a light pattern spread out inside the water of the aquatic rearing means;
- and
- maintaining the light from the illumination means in the aquatic rearing means for a rearing period to increase growth of the aquatic organisms in the aquatic rearing means.
A method for affecting the growth of aquatic organisms comprising the steps of:
- exposing the aquatic organisms under cultivation to light from illumination means within water of an aquatic rearing means, the illumination means forming a light pattern spread out inside the water of the aquatic rearing means;
- and
- maintaining illumination in the aquatic rearing means by the illumination means for at least a part of a rearing period to increase growth of the aquatic organisms in the aquatic rearing means.
A system for enhancing the production of aquatic organisms under cultivation, the system comprising:
- an aquatic rearing means for holding water and the aquatic organisms under cultivation;
- an illumination means for providing light within the water of the aquatic rearing means, the illumination means having a light emission surface introducing the light into the water arranged below an upper surface of the water of the aquatic rearing means, the illumination means forming a light pattern spread out in the aquatic rearing means;
- and
- a control device for operating the illumination means to maintain the light inside the aquatic rearing means for a rearing period to increase growth of the aquatic organisms inside the aquatic rearing means.
