    摘要: Large capacity fish and seafood growing aquaculture comprises multiple floating at sea concentric transparent torus tubes with central barge equipped with air compressor, electronic controller and anchored to seabed. Floating level above sea level of aquaculture torus tube is controlled by floating level sensor input triggering compressor to inflatable helical balloon wrapped around aquaculture tube and commanded by electronic controller. Water level in each tube is controlled by air pressure actuated valves. Each tube consists of four torus tube segments which are constructed of strong molded structural helical pipe wrapped into torus shape with molded resilient helical strip wall and with sealed helical inflatable balloon to control tube buoyancy level with connection to four vertical pipes for external rapid insertion and removing fish and food into and from the tubes. Cabled means connected to seabed.

    摘要: A coral ring mount device and method for the propagative culture of sessile benthic marine organisms (for example, stony corals) employing either a ring, washer or threaded nut or similar as a propagule mount upon which the coral is set in order to attach, grow and overgrow within a coral nursery system. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, once the coral is grown onto the ring mount and to its requisite size and condition, the ring mount becomes the washer through which passes a screw to secure the ring and coral to the seafloor.

    摘要: A rapidly deployable underwater coral cultivation system comprising a tensioned propagule support line or rod, and a propagule-encircling loop for attachment thereto, wherein the propagules' tissues and skeleton overgrow the line/rod. Multiple propagules of a single genetic clone on a line/rod may fuse into a single linear coral colony, whereby the natural structural and anti-fouling attributes of the target organism provide structural rigidity to the system and high survivorship of the live material in nursery culture. A preferred embodiment may provide a low to no maintenance protocol soon after deployment thereby allowing for “set and forget” through self-planting endpoints. In some embodiments, a vertical arrangement provides full leverage advantage to the support buoy as growth increases (coral) weight. In some embodiments, the vertically-oriented single genetic clone facilitates gamete capture for facilitated spawning in coral (ecosystem) enhancement and restoration.
