Description
DEVICE FOR RAISING AND LOWERING OF NET PEN The present invention relates to a system for raising and lowering fish farming net pens in floating cages, for the purpose of operation, safety and maintenance.
In fish farming, parasites (such as salmon-infesting and cod-infesting sealice) are the cause of extensive financial losses. This is due to the fact that sealice live off blood and tissue fluids and cause skin lesions which expose the fish to fungus, virus and bacterial infections. Such infections often result in disease and death. Furthermore, the fish will show increasing difficulty in mamtaining its own entothermic ionic balance, a condition which can lead to failing health and death. The lesions caused by the sea lice also result in a downgrading of the fish. In fish farming, this problem is well known and entails severe financial losses. The sea lice live planktomcally, i.e. the parasites drift freely in the water. The concentrations of planktonic sea lice which spread with the currents often cause infestation of anadromous wild fish as they migrate in search of food in the sea. In Norway, such conditions will expose the fry of salmon, sea trout and char to serious parasitic infestation by salmon-infesting sea lice. The spawning salmon (multiple spawner - non-migrating salmon) are also adversely affected by the salmon-infesting sea lice as they migrate in search of food. This is due to the fact that a parasitic infestation reduces the chances of growth for the salmon. Sea lice can also drift in the water from a fish farm to another and infest those. Today, fish farms are deloused on a regular basis or when the concentration of sea lice increases in the farm. Debusing is effected by reducing the volume of the net pen to bring the fish closer together and introducing delousing products, or by mechanical debusing (water jet flushing or mechanical scraping). Today, the raising of the net pen is effected mechanically (pulling in the net pen rope by hand, or with the use of a crane, a winch or the like). This is heavy and time-consuming work which, in addition, can result in damage to the net pens, the fish cages etc. Such operations can cause tearing of the pen with ensuing escape of the farmed fish into the wild.
Escape of farmed fish is also considered a problem for the population of wild salmon as it increases competition for spawning grounds in salmon rivers and promotes undesirable genetic crossings. In addition, pulling up net pens by hand can be the cause strain injuries to back, arms etc. to people in the business.
The conventional design of a floating cage for fish is a net pen fixed to a floating ring. The floating cage looks therefore like a baggy net which hangs freely in the water. To force the net pen to keep a constant volume despite the influence of currents, the pen is weighted down with ballast blocks. These blocks can, for instance, be attached to the bottom rope edging of the net pen. The blocks are also connected to the surface by a rope (rope tightener) so that they can be lifted or to allow adjustment of the ballast weight on the net pen. This can be effected in accordance with the conditions at the farming location or to suit the effects of the environment. A new system involves attaching the rope edging of the net pen to a ring which consists of a self-buoyant tubing or an air-filled tube, or of buoyant material (polystyrene). This ring is fastened to a surface-floating ring (a well known system) with slide rods and the necessary buoyancy elements (floats, cork, etc.) which slide along the slide rods and are attached to the net pen. The principle was made known in the Norwegian patent application no.19990660. Raising and lowering are effected by means of air-regulated ballast blocks which are controlled through a device (tube, hose) which can be operated from the surface. The air- regulated ballast block may be a tank filled with a combination of air, water and weights, or the tank having a density which corresponds to that of a weight, the tank being regulated by filling in and letting out air through a supply from the surface. The use of this type of system provides a controlled lifting device for bringing the net pen to the surface without any extreme strain on the net pen rope and thus avoiding tearing of the net and escaping fish. In addition, due to the system, the working personnel avoid unnecessary heavy work and strain injuries. As regards parasites, the system of the present invention presents great ease of use.
The debusing operation will only require a fraction of the resources which are involved with today's debusing systems. It is anticipated that debusing in fish farms will increase in effectiveness by allowing much easier operation of the fish cages. In addition, the system can help to reduce the effect of waves, thus further preventing tearing of the pen. The pen can be closed into a cylindrical unit and the slide rods can be extended so as to allow the lowering of the net pen below the danger zone in the event of an outbreak of toxic algae, of freezing water surface. etc.
The object of the present invention is to provide a system offering the following characteristics:
- controlled raising and lowering of net pens in fish floating cages with air-regulated ballast block , - a submersible net pen for operation under the surface of the water on a permanent and/or on a temporary basis by turning the net pen into a closed unit,
- easier compression of the net pen volume for the purpose of anti- parasitic treatment, scooping up fish, sorting etc., - reducing tearing of the net pen, strain injuries in personnel and wear and tear of equipment,
- reducing the adverse effect on the environment by minimizing the escape of farmed fish and achieving a more efficient anti-parasitic treatment. This is achieved by means of a bottom ring attached to wires by slide rings, the bottom ring being mounted in the vicinity of the closed end of the net pen and equipped to raise the net pen towards the floating ring with the help of an air- regulated ballast block.
Further details of the invention appear from the following description of a preferred embodiment of the invention with reference to the illustrations.
Figure 1 shows a net pen equipped with the device of the invention.
Figure 2 shows the same net pen as figure 1, but with the pen partially raised towards the surface.
Figure 3 illustrates the design of an air-regulated ballast block.
A floating ring 1 is equipped with a net pen 2 which hangs under it. The net pen 2 is a fish farming net pen of a conventional design. To the floating ring 1 is attached one extremity of several wires 3 which are regularly spaced around it, while the opposite extremity is secured to a weight 4. The wires 3 are thus hanging in the water on the outside of the net pen 2. On each of these wires 3, several floats 5 are mounted, these being also attached to the vertical side of the net pen 2.
A bottom ring 6 is secured to the lowest end of the net pen 2 and slides along the wires 3 by means of slide rings 7. Below the bottom ring 6, and attached to it, a buoyancy device is provided in the form of an air-regulated ballast block 8. The buoyancy of the air-regulated ballast block 8 can be adjusted to lift the bottom ring 6 and the net pen, and the volume of the net pen 2 is reduced as the latter rises to the surface. Figure 2 illustrates how the floats 5 meet one another on the wires 3 as the net pen 2 folds (not shown in details on the figure), such folds extending towards the inside of the net pen 2.
The air-regulated ballast block 8 can be designed as illustrated on figures 3 a and b. In figure 3 a, it appears as a hollow tank made, for example, of thick steel plates which in themselves would act as ballast. At the upper end of the air- regulated ballast block 8, and closest to the surface of the sea, an opening 9 for air is provided, receiving air from the surface through a hose 10. At the opposite end of the air-regulated ballast block 8 one or more water intakes 11 are provided. These are always open and sea water will enter the tank or be evacuated from the tank as air is supplied to the tank or evacuated through the opening 9.
The weight of the tank by itself and the quantity of water in the tank will pull the air-regulated ballast block 8, the bottom ring 6 and the net pen 2 downward, while the quantity of air in the air-regulated ballast block 8 will create a flotational force together with the buoyancy of the bottom ring 6 and of the floats 5. By regulating the intake and outlet of air to and from the tank, it will be possible to regulate the flotational force of the system and thus raise or lower the net pen 2.
The air-regulated ballast block 8 can be designed in various ways, an alternative embodiment being illustrated in figure 3b. The tank may be made of plastic with a low density. At the centre of the tank a channel 12 is provided which can be reached from above. In the channel 12, weights can be introduced in a desired number and having the required mass to obtain the necessary downward force. As an alternative, the wires 3 can be attached to points above the floating ring, above the surface of the water, in such a manner that, as the net pen 2 rises, the floats 5 will be pushed to the surface by their own buoyancy and subsequently be lifted or pushed above the surface by the other floats 5 which follow in their upward displacement. In this manner, the base of the net pen can be lifted even further.
