  • Publication number: 20210212299
    Abstract: A tray system suitable for use with fish laying eggs in skeins provides a set of cassettes having opposed water-permeable faces that may clamp about the edges of the skeins to prevent them from coiling about themselves while exposing both sides of the skeins to flowing water. A regular form factor of the cassettes allows them to be closely stacked with small water flow gaps between them for high hatching density.

  • Patent number: 9241478
    Abstract: A feeder for larval and juvenile fishes is capable of delivering an adjustable dose of microparticulate feed to selected locations, via pneumatic conveyance and control. A source of low-pressure dry gas is used to blow microparticulate feed through a manifold and into a selected one of a number of tubes. In order to adjust the portion dispensed by the feeder, an adjustable portion control is provided. Instead of a fixed sized ration cup a threaded recess is provided. Within the recess is provided a mating nylon set screw with an Allen hex head socket. By screwing the set screw in, or out, a user may increase, or decrease the volume of each dose.

  • Patent number: 9113615
    Abstract: A feeder for larval and juvenile fishes is capable of delivering a small (ca. 15 mg) precise dose of microparticulate (ca. 100 ?m diameter) feed to selected locations, via pneumatic conveyance and control. A source of low-pressure dry gas is used to blow microparticulate feed through a manifold and into a selected one of a number of tubes. A terminal valve at the end of the tube is selectively activated to send the feed to a selected tank or pond. When not in use, the feeder is sealed, and the feed protected from moisture and ambient oxygen.
