    摘要: Certain types of fish respond differently to certain stimuli than other types of fish. Particularly, predetermined sound or vibration can cause certain types of fish to move away or jump. These reactions by particular types of fish can be used to capture the fish or prevent then from accessing parts of water systems. An exemplary capture mechanism employs multiple receptacles adapted to catch jumping fish from the air. An exemplary barrier of directed sound can prevent fish migration.

    摘要: A pumping system for moving a liquid, or a mixture of a liquid and one or more objects (P), from a collector device (2; 2′) submerged in a body of water (W), to a receiving facility (31) comprises a first delivery line (7), a second delivery line (11) and a pump unit (9). The pump unit (9) is submerged in the body of water (W) at a first depth (d) below the water surface (S) and arranged between the collector (2; 2′) and the receiving facility (31). The first delivery line (7) is fluidly connected between the collector device (2; 2′) and a pump unit inlet (18). The second delivery line (11) is fluidly connected between a pump unit outlet (17) and the receiving facility (31). The pump unit is thus configured to generate suction in the first delivery line (7) and a positive pressure in the second delivery line (11). Suction in the first delivery line (7) may be increased by increasing the first depth (d) and/or by opening of the adjustable valve (30).

    摘要: A mechanical fish trap system is adapted to be installed in native water environments. The trap chamber is positioned in a first native water environment. The chamber includes a trap gate to allow a fish to swim into the trap chamber and then retain it therein. A water pipe is connected to the trap chamber. A water pump then pumps water through the water pipe and into the trap chamber and out the trap gate. The water pipe inlet is positioned in a second native water environment that is imbalanced with the water in the first native water environment.

    摘要: A fish transfer apparatus for directional positioning of fish entering a fish transfer pump reducing injury, stress and enhancing sea lice removal when coupled to a Coanda effect fish transfer pump. The apparatus employs a collection structure constructed from a funnel shaped passageway made of spaced apart bars. A manifold is positioned along an outer surface of the spaced apart bars for directing a flow of water through the passageway at a predetermined position. Fish approaching the apparatus are naturally attracted to the outward flow of water past the ring frame and will enter the passageway as they will be swimming against the current. Once the fish passes the manifold, the fish is subject to the suction caused by the fish transfer pump and drawn into the suction pipe for transfer.

    摘要: A fish pumping system for moving upload water and fish includes a buffer pipe section having an upstream end and a downstream end. An inlet valve assembly is at the upstream end and provides fluid communication between the buffer pipe and an upstream fish origin. An outlet valve assembly is at the downstream end 5 and provides fluid communication between the buffer pipe and a fish destination. An inlet branch pipe is in fluid communication with the upstream end and an outlet branch pipe is in fluid communication with the downstream end. A production water piping circuit is in communication with the inlet branch pipe and the outlet branch pipe and forms a loop with the buffer pipe section. The 10 production water circuit pumps production water into the buffer pipe section through the inlet branch pipe and out from the buffer pipe section through the outlet branch pipe.

    摘要: Apparatuses, methods, and systems are provided for making the harvesting of sea life efficient. For example, real-time or periodic information about the status of the many traps a fisherman may have set is communicated to the fisherman while the traps are still in the water. A fisherman can use this information to determine the best time and path for trap retrieval and reset operations to reduce fuel use and improve the catch efficiency per unit effort.
