The model is used to analyze the influences on the net of gravity sea cage by different sinker weights in uniform flow. The net of gravity sea cage is simulated under different current velocities and sinker weights. In order to verify the validity of the numerical results, model test results made by Lader and Enerhaug are cited and compared with the numerical ones. The results of numerical simulation agree well with the experimental ones and the agreement is within an error range of 13% under different velocities and sinker weights. The numerical results indicate that increasing the sinker weight can effectively reduce the net deformation, but the total drag force on the net will increase accordingly. Results will give references for better knowledge of the hydrodynamic behavior of gravity sea cage.展开更多

The TS of caged or tethered fish （n=76 total） was measured using a Simrad EY60 portable scientific echosounder at 120 kHz. We evaluated the relationship between TS and total length （TL, cm） for the three species. This is the first attempt to use split-beam acoustics to measure single-fish TS in the South China Sea by Chinese researchers. Our results will improve the accuracy and precision of acoustic abundance estimates of commercially important species and fi.trther the development of underwater acoustic survey techniques in fisheries in the South China Sea.展开更多

In this experiment, total four cage models were designed which included two gravity cage models, one sea station cage model and one quasi-sea station cage model. The gravity cages were made of the same materials but with different weighting system configurations. The sea station cage model and the quasi-sea station cage model were of the same diameter but the latter is 1.4 times in cage height to the former one which attributed greatly to the amplification of effective aquaculture volume up to 2.2 times. Four mooring lines were attached to each cage model on one side and the other side fixed on the bottom of the wave-current tank. Several kinds of experiment conditions were set, including pure current conditions, pure wave conditions and combined wave-current conditions. Forces were measured by four transducers attached to the bottom of the mooring lines respectively. Analysis was based on the resultant forces of the two current-ward or wave-ward mooring lines. Results from this study were presented and statically analyzed revealing that the quasi-sea station cage model suffered from greater forces compared with the other two kinds of cage models, which was more apparent under pure current conditions. It was interesting to find that the mass of the weighting system turned out to be relatively small effect on the forces acting on the gravity cage models under most conditions. Under pure wave conditions, several results of the forces acting on the gravity cage with heavier weighting system configuration were even smaller than those with lighter weighting system configuration. Conclusions were drawn that it was feasible to increase the mass of the weighting system properly to reduce the deformation of the netting system since it will not increase the forces acting on the gravity cages apparently. But it should be kept in mind that the operation of the cage will be affected directly by increasing the mass of the weighting system. As to sea station cage model, given the similar maximum aquaculture volume, results showed that the forces acting on it were approximately the same with that of gravity cages under the same conditions. But its huge size would lead to bad operation directly. Thus, when considering the force characteristics, the performance and management of the cages together with the cage prices, the co-authors recommended that gravity cages were more suitable currently as deep-water aquaculture facilities in China.展开更多
