感潮河段江滩湿地水体交换模拟与调控措施研究

保障湿地水体交换能力对完善湿地功能,维持湿地生态系统的健康至关重要。南京绿水湾湿地是长江江滩湿地,具备多种湿地特点,动力条件复杂。本研究以绿水湾湿地为研究对象,通过构建二维水动力-水龄耦合数学模型,模拟了现状和不同闸、泵调控措施下各区域的水动力特征及水体交换能力。结果表明：现状湿地内部水面覆盖率低,水体交换能力差,大部分区域水体交换时间在7天以上,甚至是14天以上。建闸后虽然增加了枯季的水面覆盖率,但明显减弱了湿地内水动力,延长各区域换水周期,换水周期大于14天的区域明显增多。泵站的运用整体上缩短了大部分区域的换水周期,使得水域流速大于0.01m/s的区域面积明显增加,换水周期大于14天的区域面积减少。建闸蓄水后,为预防藻类爆发,需控制湿地内水体的换水周期均在14天内,结合各区域水动力和水体交换特点,提出了闸门生态调度、布置净水能力较强的挺水或沉水植物、增设补水点等调度策略。     

Numerical simulation of the flow field inside and around gravity cages

A three-dimensional (3D) numerical model is established to simulate the flow field inside and around the gravity cages in a current. The realizable k–ɛ turbulence model was chosen to describe the flow, and the governing equations are solved by using the finite volume method. In the numerical model the cylindrical cage is divided into 16 plane nets around the circumference and a bottom net, and the net is modeled using the porous media model. The unknown porous coefficients are determined from the hydrodynamic force on the net under different flow velocities and attack angles using the least squares method. In order to validate the numerical model, the numerical results of the plane nets were compared with the data obtained from two physical model tests. The comparisons show that the numerical results are in good agreement with the experimental data. Using the present model, this paper presents the flow field inside and around the gravity cages with different spacing distances and cage numbers. This study provides information about the flow field inside and around the fishing net cages.     

Numerical study on wave attenuation inside and around a square array of biofouled net cages

In this study, waves propagating through a square array of 16 net cages with different levels of biofouling are numerically studied using a three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model. A porous-media fluid model is adopted to simulate both clean and biofouled netting of a cage array in waves. A numerical wave tank is built, and the oscillating-boundary method is adopted to generate waves. The flow motion is solved by the Navier-Stokes equations, and the free water surface is captured using the volume of fluid (VOF) method. The numerical model is validated by comparing the numerical data with corresponding experimental measurements of a net-cage model with clean netting. To analyze wave attenuation, a numerical analysis of wave elevation both inside and around the cage arrays is presented, which considers the effect of biofouling. Based on the results of the present study, the effect of biofouling on wave elevation is noticeable; the damping effect of the cage array increases with increasing level of biofouling. Furthermore, the incident angle of waves has a noticeable effect on the wave field inside and around the cage array.     

Effects of water flow velocity and fish culture on net biofouling in fish cages

The effects of water flow, fish feed and cage position on net biofouling was examined in a floating cage fish farm. Fouling of 16 mm mesh net panels suspended inside and outside net cages and exposed to different treatments were monitored weekly until net apertures were completely occluded by the fouling organisms (8 weeks). Results indicate a dramatic reduction in water flow velocity throughout the fish farm due to the cage units themselves and net biofouling. The reduced water flow (<10 cm s^?1) inside net cages promoted rapid net biofouling, while rapid water flow outside the net cages (>25 cm s^?1) kept the net fouling organisms at bay. Although fish rearing in net cages with inputs of commercial pellet feed increased sessile biofouling (222% higher than outside the net cages) and non‐sessile biofouling (570% higher), the type of fish feed used did not significantly affect biofouling development. The study recommends that the geometry of serially arranged net cages, as commonly deployed in tropical tidal estuaries, be reconfigured to improve flow through in order to minimize the impact of fouling.     

Influence of water exchange rates on fingerling production in Indian major carps in large outdoor concrete tanks

Influence of varied water exchange (total of 0%, 40%, 60%, 80% and 100% in four phases during three months) on fingerling production of Indian major carps-catla, rohu and mrigal under polyculture was evaluated in large outdoor concrete tanks (50 m²). Rearing density of 30 fry m⁻³ was used. Survival in the control tanks reduced during the 2nd month unlike the treatments, attributed to lack of water exchange in the tanks. While no marked variation in water quality was observed among the control and treatments, graded water exchange led to proportionate improvement in the fingerling performance in terms of survival and growth in the treatments. Harvested total lengths of fingerlings were similar in all, irrespective of varied exchange levels. Although no significant variation in net weight gain (NWG) and specific growth rate (SGR) were observed among the treatments during 1st and 2nd months of rearing in any of the species, these attributes increased significantly during 3rd month with higher water exchange in treatments. The harvested body weight (HBW) also increased significantly with increased exchange level. However, survival, HBW, NWG and SGR remained similar in all species between the 80% and 100% water exchange levels. Treatment with 80% water exchange had higher water productivity in terms of number and biomass production of fingerlings per unit (m⁻³) of TWU and CWU for which, the study recommended 80% to be the ideal total water exchange required for fingerling production of IMC in concrete tanks.     

Abnormal swimming behavior and increased deformities in rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss cultured in low exchange water recirculating aquaculture systems

Two studies were conducted to evaluate rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss health and welfare within replicated water recirculating aquaculture systems (WRAS) that were operated at low and near-zero water exchange, with and without ozonation, and with relatively high feed loading rates. During the first study, rainbow trout cultured within WRAS operated with low water exchange (system hydraulic retention time (HRT) = 6.7 days; feed loading rate = 4.1 kg feed/m³ daily makeup flow) exhibited increased swimming speeds as well as a greater incidence of “side swimming” behavior as compared to trout cultured in high exchange WRAS (HRT = 0.67 days; feed loading rate = 0.41 kg feed/m³ daily makeup flow). During the second study, when the WRAS were operated at near-zero water exchange, an increased percentage of rainbow trout deformities, as well as increased mortality and a variety of unusual swimming behaviors were observed within WRAS with the highest feed loading rates and least water exchange (HRT ≥ 103 days; feed loading rate ≥ 71 kg feed/m³ daily makeup flow). A wide range of water quality variables were measured. Although the causative agent could not be conclusively identified, several water quality parameters, including nitrate nitrogen and dissolved potassium, were identified as being potentially associated with the observed fish health problems.

应用两种不同的波浪理论计算方形网箱水平波浪力

运用莫里森(Morison)和库兹涅佐夫(Kuznetsov)的计算方法对方形网箱及其构件受到的水平波浪力特性进行分析,分别依据正弦波和司托克斯二阶波理论,导出相应水平波浪力的迭加计算公式,并把计算结果与两种尺寸的网箱水槽试验进行对比验证。结果显示,正弦波理论计算值与试验值平均误差分别为11．19％和13．67％,二阶波计算平均误差分别为11．03％和13．87％,表明两者计算结论的差异性和计算方法的可行性。在波长、周期、波高和水深分别为150m、10．2s、10m、40m情况下模拟计算实物网箱水平波浪力,其二阶波受力峰值范围比正弦波的要窄、波谷值曲线要平坦,两者波浪力计算相差达8．70％,并且相差率与波高、波长成正比例关系,与水深成反比例关系,从而说明不同的波浪水域环境下应用不同波浪理论计算具有重要意义。

Zero-water exchange shrimp farming systems (extensive) in the periphery of Chilka lagoon, Orissa, India

The extensive zero-water exchange shrimp farming system in the periphery of Chilka lagoon (Orissa, India) was studied. The study aimed to describe this unique farming system with special reference to dynamics of macrozoobenthos, production characteristics and economics. The study conducted was based on a general survey as well as monitoring of five individual farms over a complete production cycle. The farming practice in this area is characterized by complete absence of water exchange during rearing. Ponds in this area are generally shallow (mean 72 cm). Most of the water and soil quality characteristics of these farms are within acceptable levels. Macrozoobenthos belonging to 12 taxa were collected, amphipods (81%) and polychaetes (13%) being most numerous. Overall macrobenthic density of farms studied varied from 968 to 11,470 individuals/m² with a gross mean of 5644 individuals/m². There was no general pattern to the variation in abundance of various taxa in different phases of the rearing cycle, suggesting a low predatory pressure by shrimp in the farms studied. Shrimp production was highly variable (91–250 kg/ha), but generally low with a mean of 145 kg/ha. The net income of these farms was estimated to be Rs. 63,250 per crop per ha. Compared with shrimp farming system with regular water exchange in the same area, Chilka farms generated high benefit-cost ratio indicating high profitability and sustainability.     

Intensive hatchery performance of Pacific white shrimp in the biofloc system under three different fertilization levels

Bacterial inorganic nitrogen control using carbon:nitrogen ratio (C:N) manipulation is a tool for aquaculture systems. The present study assessed the hatchery performance of Litopenaeus vannamei between the mysis 1 and postlarvae 5 stages in a zero-exchange biofloc system under different C:N fertilization levels (10:1, 12.5:1 and 15:1) with dextrose. Water quality, performance parameters and water microbiology were compared among treatments. The mean values of the evaluated water quality parameters were appropriate for this production stage. Fertilization with dextrose efficiently controlled ammonia levels, which did not reach the average concentrations considered toxic for the species. In the 10:1 C:N ratio treatment, the levels of ammonia started to increase early and showed significantly higher levels from the third to the last experimental day. There was no difference among groups in means of survival (>76%) and dry weight (0.26 mg) of L. vannamei production parameters and water quality were maintained without water exchange using a biofloc system supplemented with dextrose. Therefore, the use of biofloc systems without water exchange with dextrose as a carbon source in C:N ratios of 10:1, 12.5:1 and 15:1 results in both adequate production indexes and water quality during the misis 1 to post-larvae 5 hatchery phases of L. vannamei. However, the ratios of 12.5:1 and 15:1 keep lower levels of ammonia.     

Semi-analytical study on regular sea wave interaction with circular elastic floaters of aquaculture fish cages

In this paper, a semi-analytical model was developed to find the vertical motions and wavefield around elastic circular floaters of aquaculture fish cages in regular waves. The fluid is assumed inviscid, incompressible, and irrotational flow. A regular train of deep water waves was incident to a floater, which consist of two tori of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipes. The problem was analyzed with the assumption of the relatively large incident wavelength in comparison to the cross-section of tori. Slender body theory and matched asymptotic expansions were used with the inner solution close to the body section composed of suitable radiation solution at large distance of floater by distributing source and doublet along centerlines of floater constituent tori. In this approach, the fundamental solutions were developed for symmetric and anti-symmetric motions. Then, the governing equations on diffraction and incident waves were decomposed to Fourier modes of these solutions. The main influence parameters on vertical accelerations such as floater dimensions, wave number, the distances between tori, and bending stiffness of floater were studied. The model results demonstrate good agreement with those of the BEM. Furthermore, the Energy Transmission Index (ETI) was introduced for describing the effect of the floater on the downstream environment.     

Hydrodynamic implications in and around a caged finfish farm and its implications on the dispersal of farm debris

One of the key factors in determining the accumulation of sediment and soluble nutrients within a lease is water movement. Water masses entering and leaving the farm determine the finfish ecosystem interaction. Understanding the hydrodynamic interaction with the farm is therefore key to understanding the potential ecological effects of individual farms. In addition, finfish farms are now being proposed in exposed offshore environments and have caused concern regarding their potential down stream impacts on currents and wave climate. Seven current meters, oxygen probes and CTD were deployed to examine the hydrodynamic interactions inside and outside a 270 m long Salmon farm in Newfoundland, Canada. Current meter results indicate that the finfish farm cages have a clear shadowing effect on the currents. Currents upstream were found to be considerably faster than those recorded downstream during the sampling period. Current speeds inside the farm were also found to be considerably slower than those found outside of the farm especially during high flow events. In situ observations of currents were found to be similar to those predicted by previous CFD and hydrodynamic modelling studies. Modeling was also undertaken to calculate the energy lost as currents enter and leave a series of fish cages. In comparison to the observed flow the model compares relatively well. Flow recorded downstream of the farm was observed to be in the range predicted by the model as was the flow recorded inside and outside the cages. Current speed downstream of the farm is clearly affected by farm orientation which has important implications for the dispersal of farm debris. Average oxygen saturation within the cages over the 5 day sampling period was 80.2 %± SD 5.7 %, compared to nearly 100 %, 20 m and 50 m from the farm site. Orientation of the farm may play some part in determining the location and amount of oxygen depletion within the farm. The farm also acts to push water from deeper in the water column up into the cages which has implications for farms situated in heavily stratified environments.     

Design development of porous collar barrier for offshore floating fish cage against wave action,debris and predators

This paper presents a design concept of a porous collar barrier for a novel floating open-net fish cage that is integrated with a floating spar wind turbine (referred to as COSPAR fish cage). The COSPAR fish cage has an octagonal shape with each side length of 30m. The collar barrier, having an array of rectangular cut-outs with round corners, is installed at the top portion of the cage to attenuate wave transmission inside the cage as well as to protect fish from external predators and debris. Single and double collar barrier designs corresponding to single net and double net cages are studied. The wave transmission, reflection and energy-loss coefficients of barriers are determined from numerical analysis based on the linear potential wave theory and the eigenfunction expansion method. Various underwater heights (2m ≤ h ≤ 8m) and porosity (0.25≤ ε ≤ 0.75) of the collar barriers are examined with the view to obtaining the barrier design for minimal transmission coefficient and energy-loss coefficient. Without a collar barrier, the single net and double net cage can only provide average wave transmission coefficients of 0.9 and 0.8, respectively. This study finds that the transmission coefficient could be reduced below 0.4 by having a single collar barrier with h = 4m and ε = 0.25. On the other hand, the transmission coefficient could be further reduced below 0.3 by a double collar barrier with the same h and ε. In addition, the double collar barrier gives lower energy-loss coefficient and better proofing against fish escape, biosecurity and predator intrusion than the single collar barrier. A double collar barrier design with porosity combination of ε₁ = 0.25, ε₂ = 0.5 is recommended for the COSPAR fish cage as it yields competitive wave scattering performances and saves collar material by 25 % when compared with the best performing porosity combination of ε₁ = ε₂ = 0.25.     

Control of dissolved oxygen levels of water in net pens for fish farming by a microscopic bubble generating system

ABSTRACT:   A microscopic bubble generating system (MBGS) has been developed to control dissolved oxygen (DO) levels suitable for fish farming. The MBGS has been tested to confirm its capability in net pens. Water conditions in a fish farm were monitored every two hours from June to October 2004 by setting an online vertical profiling system (OVPS) close to the net pen. DO in the net pen water decreased to physiologically stressful levels for the fish during the night (4.84–5.51 mg/L), while the DO was kept in saturated conditions during the day, due to oxygen supply from phytoplankton. The MBGS was operated from the evening to the morning of the next day for 16 h, to successfully create DO-saturated conditions in the net pen water at night. By using microscopic bubbles during the warm seasons, DO levels in the net pen water could be improved to a level suitable for fish farming. However, the low DO levels (<5.0 mg/L) of the bottom water occasionally extended to the net pen layers, despite the supply of microscopic bubbles to the water. To maintain the DO of the net pen water at levels suitable for fish farming, DO supply to the net pen water and the bottom water needs to be increased, and the organically enriched sediment just below the net pens needs to be treated.     

Economics of risk and uncertainty of alternative water exchange and aeration rates in semi‐intensive shrimp culture systems

Abstract

Reducing water exchange in shrimp aquaculture to minimize discharge of pollutants is a search for sustainability. In desert regions, like most of northwest Mexico, low water exchange must be complemented with artificial aeration to compensate for low levels of oxygen in warm and highly saline water. The economic yield of a low‐water‐exchange production system is compared against yield from a typical water‐exchange‐without‐aeration system for Penaeus vannamei culture. The difference between two systems is centered on pumping and aeration rates for a 100 ha semi‐intensive farm in northwest Mexico.

A bioeconomic model was built to compare the systems. Risk analysis is adopted to account for uncertainty of seed price, shrimp growth rate, survival rate, and shrimp prices.

The typical system was slightly more profitable than the low‐water‐exchange, aerated system. The latter used less electricity than the former in all of the three mortality‐rate scenarios. However, the difference in profitability is so small that for practical purposes both production systems provide similar economic yield. For a typical system, the probability of reaching a positive net present value (NPV) is high, therefore under the assumed risks, a 100 ha semi‐intensive shrimp farm in northwest Mexico is a good investment choice.

拖速和曳纲长度对南极磷虾中层拖网网位的影响

利用2015年2—7月随青岛远洋捕捞有限公司南极磷虾(Euphausia superba)大型中层拖网渔船"明开轮"赴南极南舍得兰群岛水域执行农业部南极海洋生物开发利用项目期间收集的网位(D)、网口高度(H)、曳纲投放长度(L)和拖速(V)等数据,分析了拖速和曳纲长度对拖网网位和网口高度的影响。本研究中,网口高度定义为网口上下纲深度之差;网位定义为网口中心位置水深。根据渔船作业习惯和虾群群体特点,曳纲投放长度范围138~258 m,每档间隔20 m。拖速1~3 kn,间隔0.5 kn。结果表明:(1)网口高度变化范围为13.6~24.1 m,网位水深变化范围为50~70 m;(2)作业过程中,南极磷虾拖网网位变化主要由曳纲长度决定,曳纲从138 m开始投放时,每增加20 m,网位平均下降深度约1.9 m,网口高度平均减小1.1 m,曳纲长度对网位和网口高度均产生极为显著的影响(P0.01);(3)拖速由1.0 kn变化至3.0 kn时,网位平均上升速率约2.9 m/kn,网口高度平均减小速率为2 m/kn,平均降低19.8%,拖速对网位和网口高度的影响显著(P0.05);(4)不同曳纲长度时的各拖速区间内的平均网位变化速率呈先减小后逐渐增大的规律。本研究结果不仅可为南极磷虾渔船船长根据虾群的群体大小、水层变化及其与网具的位置关系,适时调整曳纲长度和拖速,使网位到达预设水层,实现瞄准捕捞提供参考,还可为研究南极磷虾拖网网具性能的优化以及南极磷虾拖网网具设计的改进提供基础资料。
