METHOD OF INCREASING WATER TOTAL MINERALIZATION IN WATER RESERVOIRS Russian patent published in 2020 - IPC A01K61/00 E02B3/00 

FIELD: biotechnology.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to fisheries, biotechnology of aquaculture and aims at creation of favorable conditions for increase of population of hypergaline hydrobionts - shrimp brine shrimp and other aquatic biological resources. Method of increasing general mineralization of brackish and saline water bodies, the upper soil layer of which is enriched with salts, consists in the fact that the upper soil layer with height of 5–50 cm from the water catchment area of the water body is pumped into this reservoir, wherein the water reservoir is filled with the upper salt layer of the soil in parts when checking the increase in mineralization required for cultivation of the specific aquaculture object during the summer period. Method of increasing water total mineralization in water reservoirs enables to transfer water reservoirs into a regime suitable for growing hydrobionts cultivated in high-mineralized water reservoirs. Declared method complies with ecological and environmental standards, since the type of ecosystem does not change; only hydrochemical and hydrobiological characteristics shift. In implementation of disclosed method, material and technical costs are reduced, purchase and transportation of mineral substances to water reservoir is not required. When implementing the disclosed method, the chemical composition - basic ions and the composition of dissolved substances does not change, and only the portion of dissolved salts and organic substances in the water body increases. When implementing the proposed method, salts are added to the reservoir and the concentration of dissolved salts in the water body increases exactly. According to the disclosed method, mineralization increases by a value from several grams to tens of grams.

EFFECT: technical result of the invention is creation of optimum conditions of environment for aquaculture, development of a method of increasing mineralization of water reservoir at preservation of natural proportions of mineral substances in water.
