    Abstract: A mobile farm for the growth of hydrobiological species, capable of offshore operation, which maintains a shoal-like behaviour of the fish confined therein, and being of robust design and construction. The use of related materials enables the structure to remain afloat, anchored, moored to a buoy or in movement, either self-propelled, towed or pushed. Formed by a central structure similar to a ship's hull, its hydrodynamic bow enables it to cut through the waves with minimum resistance, reinforced by a perimetral support; these combine with the use of heavyweight metallic meshes, thus constituting a floating means suited for offshore operation, with the ability to alter its draught and hydrodynamic presentation, consequently changing the containment volume of the species by means of a system for the individual or collective hoisting of the containment meshes.

    Abstract: A method of growing shellfish is disclosed. The method comprises obtaining a support tray (I) with recesses (7) where at least some of the recesses (7) incorporate means adapted to create a deliberately formed alphanumeric, written or pictorial mark on the shellfish as it grows. Shellfish spat are attached to at least some of the recesses (7) and the tray (I) is placed in water so that the spat grow into substantially mature shellfish within the recesses (7). The spat each grow generally in the shape of their respective recess (7) so that the mark is created on the shellfish as it grows.

    Abstract: System and methods for monitoring the growth of an aquatic plant culture and detecting real-time characteristics associated with the aquatic plant culture aquatic plants. The systems and methods may include a control unit configured to perform an analysis of at least one image of an aquatic plant culture. The analysis may include processing at least one collected image to determine at least one physical characteristic or state of an aquatic plant culture. Systems and methods for distributing aquatic plant cultures are also provided. The distribution systems and methods may track and control the distribution of an aquatic plant culture based on information received from various sources. Systems and methods for growing and harvesting aquatic plants in a controlled and compact environment are also provided. The systems may include a bioreactor having a plurality of vertically stacked modules designed to contain the aquatic plants and a liquid growth medium.

    Abstract: A floating structure and method for obtaining same. The structure includes a first plurality of tubes and a second plurality of tubes. The second plurality of tubes are inserted into the first plurality of tubes to extend through the upper portion of same, and both sets of tubes are welded together. The ends of the tubes of the first plurality of tubes are closed in order to be used as flotation tanks when the floating structure is fitted out for such use. The method concerns locking the first plurality of tubes in place on the frame, with pairs of holes in each of the first plurality of tubes being aligned, and a corresponding tube of the second plurality of tubes being inserted through each pair of aligned holes by force. Each of the connection portions or parts contained in the tubes are welded on the periphery of the holes.

    Abstract: A composite thread cable for an aquaculture cage includes multiple multi-filament polyester fiber yarn wires and at least one or more than one copper alloy wire blending and interweaving with the multi-filament polyester fiber yarn wires. Each of the multi-filament polyester fiber yarn wires is made of flexible material. The at least one or more than one copper alloy wire is made of hard material. The at least one or more than one copper alloy wire is intertwined in the multi-filament polyester fiber yarn wires tightly and closely to construct the composite thread cable.
