| 20100263599 | HIGH-THROUGHPUT, WHOLE-ANIMAL SCREENING SYSTEM - Distinctive components that enable high-throughput, whole-animal screening are described. These components can be used individually or in various combinations. A staging chip strains off the excess fluid that the input animals are immersed in, increasing their density (number of animals in a given volume) and rapidly bringing them close to other fluidic components. A microfluidic sorter is adapted to isolate and immobilize a single, physiologically active animal in a selected geometry. A multiplexed micro-chamber chip receives single animals and the microchamber chip includes individually addressable screening chambers for imaging, incubation and exposure of individual animals to selected chemical compounds. An imaging structure generates sub-cellular, high-resolution images of the physiologically active animals. A well-plate interface chip is used to deliver elements from a compound library to a single output of the chip. | 10-21-2010 |

| 20150342160 | Salt-composition for supplementing a mineral balance in the aquaristic area, ready for use solution of said salt-composition, use of said salt-composition, and aquaristic ornamental stone obtained by said use - A salt-composition for stabilising the carbonate balance in the aquaristic area is suggested, in which the salts stabilise with major components with at least 10 weightpercent via formates the carbonate balance. The salts contain no fatties, proteins or sugars and stabilise the carbonate balance individually, being essentially disconnected from biochemical metabolism-cycles.

| 20110005464 | EQUIPMENT FOR MIGRATORY FISH BREEDING - Problems to be solved by the present invention are: (i) to make it possible for bred fishes, such as tuna, to swim fully and safely without danger of collision to the wall; (ii) to make it possible for fry to safely survive without being eaten by young and grown fishes; (iii) to largely reduce energy consumption needed for water purification; and (iv) to largely reduce labor needed for cleaning and regenerating filter means. These problems are solved by the invention of equipment for migratory fish breeding, in which a breeding tank formed in a circle and a purified water tank formed in a shape lacking a part of a circle (an “occulted circle”) are included, both tanks closely set together like a pair of eye-glasses. The breeding tank is provided with water lanes for separating infant (fry), young, and grown fishes from each other, each given a circular water current. In the purified water tank, there is placed water filtering means and purified (filtered) water is stored there. Both tanks are held substantially at the same water level, as the tanks are mutually connected by a water duct to supply raw water to the filtering means from the breeding tank, and water injection means for injecting water into the breeding tank from the purified water tank. | 01-13-2011 |

| 20090145368 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR AQUACULTURE PRODUCTION - A system and method provide an intensive aquaculture system for producing caviar or other goods. The system has a photosynthetic subsystem to consume waste from a production species, a food production subsystem to consume the photosynthetic species and be eaten by the production species. Optionally, the food production species may be pelletized or otherwise refined before being consumed by the production species. While each subsystem may have its own water chemistry, gas scrubbers may be used to control gas levels among the subsystems. In one implementation, an enclosure is used with a sensor to measure the gas above the water in the photosynthetic species. Water and species may be transferred among the subsystems as desired. Multiple aquaculture systems may be used in combination to provide age-specific systems operating in conjunction with one another and distribute risk of disease or failure across multiple systems. | 06-11-2009 |
