This paper took grass carp fry as the object of the study, described the working principle of the liquid bridge, analyzed the forces at key stages, measured the length and bending radius of the fry, and clarified the main factors affecting the efficiency of orientation. With roller radius, conveyor speed, and inclination angle as test factors and orientation success rate as the test index, single factor analysis and orthogonal testing were carried out on the orientation device to study the influence of each parameter on the test index. The optimal parameter combination was obtained. The test results showed that the highest orientation success rate was achieved when the drum radius was 50 mm, the line speed was 0.8 m/s, and the inclination of the conveyor belt was −6°. The orientation mechanism was experimentally verified with this combination of parameters, and the orientation success rate was 99.5 %. The device was simple in structure and could meet the requirements of the head-to-tail orientation of the mechanized injection of fish fry.

In these two systems, we evaluated a rearing period with bream (<em>Megalobrama amblycephala</em>) and detected ecological and economic indexes such as yield, nitrogen and phosphorus conversion efficiency, and energy utilization efficiency in different aquaculture pond systems.

The current study presented a full-scale computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model of three types of circular, square and square arc angle tanks used in aquaculture farms to choose the most optimal tank based on the flow uniformity and velocity field. At the next step, the optimal arrangement of the inlet number, inlet location, inlet angle, as well as the number of nozzles on each inlet was reconfigured to create the most optimal tank. The simulations were done using the CFD software FLUENT distributed by the ANSYS Corporation. The software calculates velocities in the tanks by solving the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations of continuity and momentum that govern the mean turbulent flow of water. The results illustrated circular and square arc angle tanks had significantly more uniform fluid velocity compared to the square tanks, which the square arc angle tank due to better flow velocity near the wall and space utilization was selected for further rearrangements. Additionally, the implementation of two entrance pipes near the corner of the two parallel walls with an entry angle of 0° in a square arc angle tank resulted in a more consistent water velocity. As the number of inlet nozzles increased to six, the water streamlines became more uniform, suggesting a more consistent water velocity throughout the tank. However, when the number of input nozzles increased to nine, the tension on the nozzle apertures were increased probably due to the decrease of distance between them.

Data assimilation combines simulation models and in-situ measurements to provide more accurate estimations. In this study, we demonstrate a novel approach using data assimilation to enhance real-time ammonia estimation in RAS. First, ammonia dynamics are described by forming equations that constitute a simulation model, based on the feeding amounts and the biofilter removal rate parameters. Then, an extended Kalman filter is presented and customized to integrate the simulation model and total ammonia nitrogen measurements for estimating NH3, NH4+, and biofilter parameters. We validated our method through synthetic and laboratory case studies and demonstrated its superior estimation capability as compared to in situ measurements or simulation models. Furthermore, improved ammonia estimation led to improved current and future fish weight estimations, which can be essential for reliable RAS management.

While instance segmentation proves effective in extracting fish contours, challenges arise from diverse fish postures and reduced image sharpness underwater. Current instance segmentation methods often struggle to effectively balance global and local detailed features, which can result in inaccurate positioning of contour keypoints and consequently limit the accuracy of fish weight estimation. To overcome this, our study introduces a novel instance segmentation network tailored for precise fish contour extraction. The proposed approach incorporates multi-scale feature fusion and an attention mechanism based on the Segmenting Objects by Locations (SOLO) network, referred to as SOLO-MFFA. This paper designs a multi-scale context aggregation module to integrate features with a wider range of receptive fields, augmenting the model's capability to comprehend both local features and global information. At the same time, the introduction of a mixed-domain attention mechanism emphasizes more critical channel features and simultaneously improves the localization accuracy of contour points. Compared with SOLO and its improved model CAM-SOLO on the fish instance segmentation dataset, SOLO-MFFA demonstrated an effective improvement, with a 4.3% and 1.6% increase in mAP (mean Average Precision), respectively. The Decoupled-SOLO-MFFA achieved higher mAP. The visualization results also demonstrate that the contour features extracted in this paper are smoother and more accurately positioned. Additionally, in comparison to other well-known instance segmentation networks, our method has demonstrated significant improvements in both qualitative and quantitative evaluations. Furthermore, the integration of contour features derived from Decoupled-SOLO-MFFA, along with binocular vision, was utilized for the precise estimation of fish perimeter and weight. The findings reveal a strong correlation between the perimeter calculated by Decoupled-SOLO-MFFA and the actual weight, with a notably reduced error in weight estimation.

H<sub>2</sub>S production in aquaculture systems depends on sulphate and organic matter availability, presence of specific microbial groups, and local anoxic conditions. Specific potential H<sub>2</sub>S production hotspots in RAS have been identified within biofilters and in accumulated sludge. Current H<sub>2</sub>S control methods have been identified, such as improved hydrodynamics, increasing degassing efficiency, chemical addition of hydrogen peroxide or ozone, but have not been efficient or widespread applied. In this study, a nanomembrane filtration system was installed at a brackish water (mixture of seawater and freshwater to 15 ppt) smolt production site in Norway to remove sulphate ions from the seawater intake line (15 times reduction). The hydrogen sulphide production potential of the nanofiltered seawater mixed with freshwater (n = 3) was compared to an unfiltered seawater and freshwater mixture (15 ppt, n = 3) for 42 days in experimental scale biofilters using industrial fixed bed media. In both treatments, the linear production of H<sub>2</sub>S started around the time that bulk water measurements of oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) and dissolved oxygen (DO) dropped below 0 mV and 1 mg/L, respectively. As expected, the highest H<sub>2</sub>S concentration was observed in unfiltered water reactors, which also reached the highest concentration faster than filtered-water reactors. A 15 times reduction in initial sulphate levels by the nanofiltration membrane led to overall three times lower H<sub>2</sub>S production and delayed the onset of production by two days. Hence, membrane-filtering intake water decreased the risk of H<sub>2</sub>S production. A limitation in this study, however, was that sulphate was not completely removed from the intake water, and the next steps should evaluate how increasing the effort of membrane operation to completely remove sulphate affect the dynamics of H<sub>2</sub>S production in RAS.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8120,"journal":{"name":"Aquacultural Engineering","volume":"106 ","pages":"Article 102426"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0144860924000372/pdfft?md5=87aadcb834e98a66cbf5f2787a1680ab&pid=1-s2.0-S0144860924000372-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140947755","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
