Development and Testing of an Aquaculture Pen Sensing System

水产养殖是通过控制养殖鱼类、贝类、海洋植物和其他海洋动物 淡水和咸水环境的条件。在一般情况下，鱼群是在大围栏里饲养的。 由许多笼子组成，每个笼子的直径约为100米。这些笼子用的是网 系统悬挂在一个巨大的环形结构上，以遏制鱼。在加拿大东海岸，水产养殖业 由于海洋条件的严峻，渔业生产作业面临着特别的挑战。目前， 在强风暴事件中，笼子会经历显著的变形和载荷。在某些情况下，系泊设备 固定钢笔的线和连接各个笼子的连接线都断了。拟议中的工作 目的是开发和测试一种能够确定系泊和连接线上的载荷的传感系统。 准确的、按时间索引的线负载数据对于重新经济地重新设计PEN结构非常关键 更具弹性的基础设施的目标。

Aquaculture is the farming of fish, shellfish, marine plants, and other marine animals through controlled conditions in freshwater and saltwater environments. In the general case, fish stocks are reared in large pens consisting of numerous cages each approximately on the order of 100 m in diameter. These cages use netting systems hung from a large ring structure to contain the fish. On the east coast of Canada, aquaculture operations for fish production face particular challenges due to the severity of the ocean conditions. Currently, in strong storm events the cages experience significant deformations and loads. In some cases, the mooring lines anchoring the pen and the connection lines attached individual cages have broken. The proposed work aims to develop and test a sensing system which can determine the loads in the mooring and connection lines. Accurate, time-indexed data on the line loads is critical for economical redesign of the pen structure with the goal of more resilient infrastructure.
