CONSTRUCTION FOR GROWING MARINE HYDROBIONTS ON THE SHELF AND THE CONTINENTAL MARGIN Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC A01K61/00 

FIELD: fishing and fish breeding.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the fishing industry, namely, to devices for the commercial reproduction of marine hydrobionts and the formation of biotopes for the habitation and feeding of valuable fish and invertebrate species, and can be used to create farms of mariculture at great depths (50–250 m), in areas with a narrow shelf and steep continental slope. Claimed construction includes a supporting cable fixed in a horizontal position below the photographic layer by bearing submerged buoys,that are connected by anchor cables with bottom anchors and anchors by means of auxiliary cables, and also equipped with end buoys; through the rings, mounted in the supporting cable, vertical supporting cables are passed, equipped with buoys on top, a counterweight from below, and in the middle a locking element; the bio-carrier is attached to the vertical supporting cables above the locking element located on the supporting cable.

EFFECT: designed construction is easy to install and operate at great depths (50–250 m), it is resistant to any wave and wind impact, is not affected by floating ice, fouling; besides, it can be used to grow the full spectrum of hydrobionts from algae to fish, id est is universal for the purposes of mariculture.
