Implementation of the utility model.

The farm for growing aquatic organisms is carried out due to the one-piece construction of the base 6, which is the first 18 and second 19 supports, and a compartment for filters 7 implemented between them. The first 18 support is designed to place racks 4 with tanks 1 on it. 8, connected along its base, a pump 9 for pumping water and a water temperature control unit 10, due to which the temperature supplied to the tanks 1 is adjusted. The filter compartment 7 is a container containing mechanical, biological or chemical filter elements that purify water from inorganic particles, dissolved organic compounds, certain dissolved substances, such as drugs, after treatment of aquatic organisms.

Racks 4, located on the first 18 support, are a metal prefabricated frame structure, the number of sections in height and length of which depends on the number of tanks 1 located on it. Tanks 1 are installed one above the other on racks 4. Hydraulic communication of tanks 1 is carried out by implementing outlet holes 2 and tubes 3. The edges of the outlet holes 2 have a transition to the container, preventing the tubes 3 from falling out of the bottom of the tanks 1 and unwanted leaks. The tubes 3 are selected according to the diameter of the outlet holes 5. The outlet holes 2 equipped with tubes 3 on the bottom of the tanks 1 are located in a zigzag pattern relative to each other at a distance from each other with the possibility of involving the volume of water in the tank into the circulating flows. The lower end of the tube coming out of the upstream reservoir is located above the water level of the downstream reservoir.

Sprinkler irrigator 11 pipeline 8 and intermediate sprinkler irrigators 20 tubes 3 with the ability to influence the water surface and ensure the transfer of pressure in the water in the tank in all directions, which prevents organic and other residues from floating up from the bottom of the tanks 1.

Tubular shelters 5 in tanks 1 are made at an angle to each other to reduce visual interaction between hydrobionts and reduce their detection by each other in the tank, thereby reducing the risk of cannibalism. In each of the tanks 1, the tubular shelters 5 have an individually selected size depending on the size of the hydrobionts, which ensures control of the selection and feeding of the hydrobionts.

The aeration system is made in the form of a control unit for supplying oxygen 13 to a branched aeration pipeline 14, which is laid along the vertical racks of racks 4 and connected to each of the aerators 15. The aerators 15 are located in the tanks 1 on opposite sides of the outlets 2 so that oxygen is distributed as much as possible over the entire area of tanks 1.

An electronic programmable system (not shown in the figure) may consist of a data controller (not shown in the figure), a control controller (not shown in the figure), a water temperature control unit 10 and an oxygen supply control unit 13, temperature sensors 16, oxygen sensors 17, pump 9, information input/output interface (not shown in Fig.), real time clock (not shown in Fig.).

The data controller is connected by means of a communication module to the control controller of the water temperature control unit 10 and the oxygen supply control unit 13. The data controller is configured to collect data from temperature sensors 16 and oxygen sensors 17. The control controller is implemented with the ability to control and change the levels of temperature and oxygen water temperature control unit 10 and oxygen supply control unit 13, as well as by changing the performance of the pump 9, which supplies water to the pipeline 8 under pressure.

The control controller is implemented using an algorithm that compares the received data with the set values of the minimum / maximum temperature, oxygen level and pump performance (set by the user through the information input / output interface) in tanks 1. The control controller may have a digital-to-analog signal converter. Data from the control controller via communication channels enter the input/output device. The information input/output device can be a smartphone, tablet, etc. The user has the ability to monitor the oxygen level, temperature and pump performance in tanks 1. The report provided to the user may contain data for the requested period of operation. With the help of an algorithm in the control controller and a real-time clock, the temperature parameters and pump performance are changed for feeding individuals, treating them or mating.

The farm for growing hydrobionts is used as follows.

First, you should assemble the structure as it is shown in Fig.1. Next, place tubular shelters 5 in tanks 1 without water, an example is shown in Fig.2. Fill the filter compartment 7 with water. The pump 9, the water temperature control unit 10 and the oxygen supply control unit 13 are turned on manually or remotely using the information input/output interface (not shown in the figure). When the system is running, you should check the readings of the sensors using the information input / output interface (not shown in the figure):

- optimal temperature for mating (from 10°С to 26°С), feeding (adult crayfish from 17 to 28°С, larvae from 18 to 29°С), rearing of larvae (from 21 to 27°С);

- the optimal content of oxygen in water is 6-7 mg/l;

- providing a notification system for feeding and reports on the operation of the proposed installation.

Hydrobionts are sorted by size, age, or sex and placed in tanks 1. If individuals are being treated, it is advisable to keep them in a separate lower tank 1 to avoid spreading their disease with the water flow (if there is such a possibility), as well as unwanted drug use healthy individuals.

In 2022, the author of the utility model conducted experimental studies in real conditions, in accordance with the above description. An experimental comparison was made with a MULTILAYER DESIGN FOR GROWING Crayfish [RU 199367 U1, publ. 08/08/2020] and a theoretical comparison with the prototype. It was revealed that the proposed farm for growing hydrobionts has the following advantages:

- maximum circulation of water over the entire area of the tanks 1, that is, the prevention of water stagnation;

- reducing the visual interaction between hydrobionts and reducing their detection by each other in the tank, thereby reducing the risk of cannibalism between individuals.

The proposed farm for growing hydrobionts is recommended for use in scientific laboratories, both in small and large enterprises specializing in the cultivation and breeding of hydrobionts.

Thus, the experiments carried out proved the achievement of the claimed technical result - providing the possibility of increasing the population of aquatic organisms in a farm for growing aquatic organisms.
