The optical stimulator of hydrobionts (embryos, eggs, fish sperm, live food)

Description
Equipment and technologies based on the stimulating effect of optical radiation of visible and IR spectral ranges on caviar and embryos of carp and valuable fish species (sturgeon, salmon, rainbow trout, sterlet) in order to increase the yield of marketable products under conditions of fish-breeding industrial complexes.[br][/br]The exposure of embryos to optical radiation from semiconductor lasers or LED sources is carried out at certain stages of ontogenesis, at recommended dosages, depending on the particular species of fish. This allows to increase the efficiency of incubation of caviar and to obtain high quality fish planting material. [br][/br]The exposure of fish sperm to optical radiation at optimal dosages leads to an increase in the activity of spermatozoa, which is reflected in time and velocity increase of their translational motion after activation by water.[br][/br]

Technology Benefits
The advantage of equipment and technology is based on the fact that exposure to optical radiation is carried out in technological systems traditionally used in fish farms for incubation of caviar (incubators of tray type or Weiss incubators).[br][/br]Increased (in comparison with analogues) stimulating effect is achieved due to the optimal choice of the spectral range of radiation and its power density, modulation of radiation in intensity, synergism of the action of optical radiation of different spectral ranges.[br][/br]- Significant increase in the yield of commercial products through the use of an environmentally friendly method - the stimulating effect on hydrobionts by optical radiation;[br][/br]- Compatibility with equipment traditionally used in aquaculture technology for the cultivation of various fish species[br][/br]- Remote control of the parameters of exposure radiation using mobile devices[br][/br]As a result of the exposure of embryos to optical radiation, the increase and synchronization of the yield of larvae from fertilized eggs, increase in the resistance of hydrobionts to the influence of unfavorable environmental factors (toxicants, increased or decreased temperature, lack of oxygen, etc.) is observed and, finally, this leads to a reliable increase in size and weight characteristics of juvenile fish.[br][/br]Equipment and technologies that exclude the use of chemical growth stimulants are proposed. The products are environmentally friendly.[br][/br]
