ARTIFICIAL BIOTOPE Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC A01K61/00 

FIELD: fish industry, in particular, technique for rearing and reproduction of aquatic organisms in sea.

SUBSTANCE: biotope has anchors with buoy-ropes equipped with buoys of variable floatability, said buoys being connected to bearing cables with substrates. Biotope carcass is made umbrella-shaped, with anchors being arranged along perimeter of circle, one buoy being arranged centrally of circle and central buoy-rope being attached to said one buoy. Central buoy-rope is oriented in vertical plane by means of central buoy to which cables-tension braces are additionally attached in succession, said cables-tension braces being fixed with their lower ends to lateral anchors. Bearing cables connected with their lower ends to buoys of variable floatability are equipped with guy-rope systems formed as two buy-ropes attached with their lower ends to two lateral anchors adjoining one another. Substrates connect bearing cables through parallel lines with adjacent cables-tension braces.

EFFECT: convenient operation, wider operational capabilities owing to flexible construction, provision for operation of apparatus under complicated wind and hydrodynamic conditions due to increased wave resistance.
