In view of the foreign mariculture is gradually diversified, and even has a trend that the fish cage aquaculture combines with algae culture at the same facility. A submersible single-point-mooring (SPM) cage system was modified and installed in-situ to investigate the feasibility of the cage system. A numercial model was established to simulate the cage dynamic motion as well as the mooring line tension. A detailed cage construction process was described in this study. Tension meter was used to keep track of mooring line tension, while the ADCP( Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler) was utilized to record the sea state during the test period. Those data were used to validate the numerical model.
The field experiements were carried out at a location north to Xiaoliuqiu island. Since the testing period was in winter, the wave height was relativly calm and found to be between 0.5 and 1.2 m, wave period 4~7 seconds, and wave current about 0.2~0.6 m/s. The numerical results indicate that the maximum mooring line tension has good agreement with the meauresments of the tension meter. These comparisons verify that this numerical model is sufficient to simulate this kind of alage cage systems.
