  • Patent number: 4920921
    Abstract: A modular marine flotation collar for aquaculture applications is disclosed. Component collar segments are sealed by bulkheads including a connecting flange. Standard component collar segments may be assembled into a desired configuration by flange-to-flange connection of adjacent collar segments. A plurality of elongate tubular members having arcuate recesses conforming to the outer perimeters of supporting collar segments are arranged transversely atop the collar assembly so as to provide for the construction of an elevated walkway. The invention provides for a pen divider which is movable within the perimeter of the flotation collar for partitioning an area within the assembly.
