Oyster Breeding Raft Sustainable
Modular
Effort-Saving Intelligent
Design Concept
In Taiwan, due to seasonal typhoon and short lifespan of the oyster raft, the wrecked traditional raft have caused a large-scale environmental pollution, especially in coast area. Nowadays there are many predicaments faced by the oyster aquaculture industry, such as the difficulty of obtaining natural oyster spat, the damage caused by typhoon and the shortage of labour.To deal with the above problems, we have presented an innovative design for oyster breeding that incorporates three major features: 1. Consideration of environmental sustainability, 2. Consideration of usability and 3. Intelligent management.
Background / Motivation
Current bamboo oyster raft use polystyrene as the buoyancy source in cultivation. Owing to this material’s poor weatherability and short life span, there result substantial discarded oyster raft and polystyrene after annual typhoons in coastal areas of East Asian, such as Taiwan’s southwestern coast, causing serious pollution.
