Mooring chains are mainly used in fishery aquaculture for the fixation and maintenance of marine pastures and deep sea aquaculture systems. By anchoring floating facilities or aquaculture platforms, they ensure their stability in harsh sea conditions. The following are specific application scenarios:

1.Deep sea fishery aquaculture system

The mooring chain connects the floating aquaculture platform with a fixed point on the seabed to achieve stable positioning of the platform in wind and waves. For example, floating wind power platforms often use mooring chains with rails, and their crossbar structure is easy to lift and maintain in long-term immersion environments.  ‌

2.Marine Ranch Construction

In the ecological fences of Laizhou Bay and other sea areas, mooring chains are used to fix artificial reefs and ecological structures, ensuring the stability of the fences in complex water flows. This system combines fully enclosed circular aquaculture technology to achieve a green aquaculture mode that saves 95% water and 69% energy.  ‌

3.Seed Breeding Base

The seedling breeding facilities of the onshore base need to be connected to the sea fence through mooring chains to achieve the 'land sea relay' breeding mode. For example, after early cultivation on land, grouper fry are transferred to deep-sea enclosures for natural growth through mooring chains.  ‌

4.Future Development Trends

With the development of intelligent ocean ranching, high-performance fiber mooring ropes (such as carbon fiber composite materials) will gradually replace traditional steel mooring chains, improving the fatigue resistance and corrosion resistance of aquaculture facilities.  ‌
