The increasing global demand for seafood, coupled with the limitations of current fish stocks and aquaculture practices, requires the development of sustainable aquaculture solutions. In this context, this study explores the potential of a novel cage technology - Flow2Vortex - for the cultivation of jellyfish, a low-trophic-level organism with increasing market demand. The unique cage design creates a laminar and circular water flow, providing optimal conditions for cultivating fragile planktonic species. Indoor experiments demonstrated the successful growth of jellyfish in the cage, with growth rates of up to 11.6% per day. In addition, field tests in open waters confirmed the cage's ability to maintain a diffuse and controlled flow inside, even under strong external currents. The cage also maintained significantly higher zooplankton concentrations than the surrounding environment, offering a consistent food source for the cultivated jellyfish. These findings highlight the potential of the Flow2Vortex cage for scalable indoor and outdoor cultivation of low-trophic-level organisms, such as jellyfish, contributing to the diversification and sustainability of aquaculture practices.

全球对海鲜的需求不断增长，加上当前鱼类资源和水产养殖实践的局限性，需要开发可持续的水产养殖解决方案。在此背景下，本研究探讨了新型网箱技术 Flow2Vortex 在水母养殖方面的潜力，水母是一种市场需求不断增长的低营养级生物。独特的网箱设计创造了层流和循环水流，为培育脆弱的浮游物种提供了最佳条件。室内实验证明水母在网箱中生长成功，每天的生长速度高达11.6%。此外，开放水域的现场测试证实，即使在强大的外部水流下，网箱也能保持内部扩散和受控的流动。笼子里的浮游动物浓度也明显高于周围环境，为养殖水母提供了稳定的食物来源。这些发现凸显了 Flow2Vortex 网箱在水母等低营养级生物的可扩展室内和室外养殖方面的潜力，有助于水产养殖实践的多样化和可持续性。
