Aquaculture vessel

Description

FIG. 1 is a top view of an aquaculture vessel;

FIG. 2 is a right side view thereof, the left side view being the same;

FIG. 3 is a front view thereof, the back view being the same;

FIG. 4 is a front top perspective cut-away view;

FIG. 5 is a bottom view thereof; and,

FIG. 6 is an environmental perspective view thereof.

The broken lines in the figures are included for the purpose of illustrating the environment and form no part of the claimed design.

As shown in the figures, the embodiment has an undetermined length from front to rear, and the side wall portions have an undetermined height. Moreover, FIG. 6 shows the aquaculture vessel removed from its environment.

Claims
