LATTICED APPARATUS FOR CULTIVATING FISH IN OPEN WATER

摘要

An apparatus for creating the effect of an artificial reef to provide in bulk large surface areas for the anchoring, growth and accumulation of micro-organisms which provide a food supply for small fish. The artificial reef is in the form of a three dimensional geometrical lattice framework which also includes various means for sheltering small fish from larger fish, their natural predators, and means are also provided to compartmentalize various portions of the members forming such lattice framework. The overall lattice framework may be sufficiently large so as to provide breakwater function.
