Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a device for cultivating young scallops by submerging it on the seabed.

(Conventional technology) When cultivating young scallops, it is necessary to change the location according to changes in the water temperature in the sea.

Conventionally, as a culture vessel containing young scallops, the invention described in JP-A No. 55-138343 and
A device described in Japanese Patent No. 50-1494 is known.

In the former invention, a plurality of containers are stacked and housed in a net. The latter idea involves connecting multiple stacked containers using rods.

(Problem that the invention aims to solve) However, with the former invention, containers stacked in a net sometimes collapsed. In addition, in the latter method, the rod was passed through a hole formed in the container and connected to the container, which narrowed the inside of the container, preventing the scallops from moving freely and hindering their growth. Since the rod moved inside the container when the rod was removed, there was a risk of damaging the scallops.

In addition, a common problem with both is that the containers are not stacked on top of support legs, so there is a risk that the cargo may collapse in the sea.
When submerged in the sea, the entire container sometimes tilted.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In the scallop culturing device of the present invention, a plurality of shallow box-shaped containers with a large number of through holes formed on the entire surface of the bottom plate and the circumferential side plate are connected to the upper container. These are stacked and tied together on frame-shaped support legs so that the bottom plate serves as the lid of the lower container.The rim of the flange projects horizontally outward from the outer periphery of the container. A plurality of containers stacked on top of each other are bound together by passing a binding tool such as a bolt through a through hole penetrating each collar edge and support leg.

(Function) In the device for cultivating young scallops of the present invention, a plurality of containers containing young scallops are bundled together on support legs and transported into the sea. . Since the binding is performed by passing the binding tool through a hole formed in the rim of the container that projects outward, the inside of the container does not become narrow and there is sufficient space for the scallops to move. This speeds up the growth of scallops.

In addition, the frame-shaped support legs make it easy to submerge the device and provide strength to the entire device.

(Example) The drawings show an example of the apparatus for cultivating young scallops of the present invention.

A container 1 for cultivating young scallops is a shallow plastic box with a substantially square planar shape. A large number of through holes 4 are formed throughout the bottom plate 2 and peripheral side plate 3 of the container 1, which is a shallow box. Since the container 1 is used for cultivating young scallops, the size of the through hole 4 is designed to prevent the young scallops from escaping out of the container 1 and to allow the flow of the tide to easily pass through.
For this reason, it is preferable to form a rectangular through hole with a side of about 7 mm, for example. Further, the shape of the through hole 4 may be a circle, a rhombus, etc. in addition to a quadrangle.

An upper collar edge 5 horizontally projects outward from the upper end of the circumferential plate 3. The lower part of the circumferential side plate 3 is inclined toward the inside of the container 1, and as the body part 7 goes downward, it gradually tapers inward, and the body part 7
A lower flange edge 6 is horizontally protruded outward from the middle part.

Therefore, if the uppermost container of a plurality of stacked containers 1 is 1a and the lowermost container is 1n, for example, the bottom side of the body 7 of the container 1a is connected to the opening of the lower container 1b. It can be fitted into the section 8. In other words, a plurality of (for example, 5 to 10) containers 1a...1n can be stacked on top of each other. When the bottom side of the body 7 of the container 1a is inserted into the opening 8 of the container 1b, the container 1
The lower flange 6 of the container 1a is locked onto the upper flange 5 of the container 1a. In this way, the height h of the internal space of each container 1b...1n when a plurality of containers 1a...1n are stacked is determined by the height of the circumferential plate 3 and the vertical position of the lower flange edge 6. be given Also, each container 1
The bottom plate 2 of the upper container 1a...1m also serves as the lid of b...1n. Therefore, there is no need to prepare a separate lid.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 4, a leg plate 3a may be provided in which the circumferential side plate 3 extends downward from the bottom plate 2. In this case, the circumferential side plate 3 may be formed to be inclined or vertical toward the inside of the container 1. If this leg plate 3a is provided, when a plurality of containers 1a...1n are stacked as in the above example,
The body 3 of the upper container 1a is inserted into the opening of the lower container 1b.
By fitting the containers 1a, .

At the four corners of the upper rim 5 and the lower rim 6, there are containers 1a...
Bolt insertion holes 9 and 10 are formed, respectively, which communicate in the vertical direction when 1n are stacked.

The containers 1a...1n containing young scallops are stacked and bound with binding tools such as bolts 11.... Place about 100 young scallops that have grown to about 10 mm in each container 1a...1b. Note that young scallops are not placed in the uppermost container 1a. If young scallops are placed in this container 1a, a separate lid is required. These containers 1a...1n are sunk into the seabed in a bundled state. For this reason, heavy support legs 12 are attached to the lower part.

The annular body 11a formed at the upper end of the bolt 11 is
It is used to pass a rope through when lifting the scallop cultivation equipment with a crane and lowering it into the sea.

FIG. 6 shows an embodiment of the frame-shaped support leg 12.

A support frame 13 on which the container 1n is placed is provided in the form of a horizontal frame at the top, and a plurality of legs 14 are attached to the support frame 13 in a downwardly open state, and the lower ends of each leg 14 are connected to each other. Material 15...
connected with. If heavy iron materials are used for each member constituting the frame-shaped support leg 12, it can be easily sunk without floating on the sea.

The lowest container 1n of the stacked containers 1a...1n is placed and fixed on the support frame 13 of the frame-shaped support leg 12. When the bottom of the body 7 of the container 1n is fitted into the support frame 13, the container 1
The lower flange edge 6 of n is locked to the upper surface of the support frame 13. A bolt insertion hole 16 that communicates with the bolt insertion hole 10 is formed at a position of the support frame 13 corresponding to the bolt insertion hole 10 formed in the lower flange edge 6. Place the container 1n on the support frame 13,
A plurality of containers 1b are stacked on top of this container 1n, and the container 1a is further stacked on top, and bolts 11 are inserted in the vertical direction through the respective bolt insertion holes 9 formed at the four corners of this container 1a. insert. The lower end of each bolt 11... has a bolt insertion hole 10
... etc., and are passed through the bolt insertion holes 16 formed in the support frame 13. A tightening nut 17 is screwed into the lower end of each bolt 11 projecting downward from the support frame 13, and the tightening nut 17 and the nut 18 previously screwed into the upper end of each bolt 11 are used to tighten each container. By bundling 1a...1n and the supporting legs 12, a young scallop culturing device is constructed. Note that the supporting legs 12 are formed to be large in size, and
...1n may be stacked in multiple rows. Further, the structure in which the containers 1a...1n are stacked or the means for binding the stacked containers 1a...1n and the support legs 12 are not limited to those described above.

(Effect of the invention) A plurality of containers containing young scallops are stacked on a support leg, and a through hole formed in the rim of each container protruding outward and a through hole formed in the support leg are connected to each other. It is bound by passing a binding tool such as a bolt through it. Therefore, because of the support legs, the lower part is heavy, but it is easy to transport and sink on the seabed (it can be sunk without tilting), and the place where it is sunk can be easily moved. Additionally, the support legs provide strength to the device. Furthermore, since the binding device is placed outside each container, the inside of the container does not become narrow. Therefore, the young shellfish can move freely in a large space, which has the effect of increasing growth.
