  • Aquaculture
CONT

First, the male and female fish mate and spawn the eggs. The eggs are held on special spawning mats similar to a thick, layered netting and kept in a production raceway with the male population of the fish. Male bass fish are the keepers of their spawn and continually swim around and rest on the mats to guard their spawn. Once the eggs have developed to a certain stage, the mats are moved to a holding trough where they are vertically hung across the water as they continue to grow.

  • barracks-type lavatory

French

Domaine(s)
  • Appareils sanitaires
CONT

Les lavabos prennent une grande importance quand il s'agit d'en pourvoir un établissement industriel, en raison même du nombreux personnel qui doit en faire usage. Le type le plus simple consiste en une auge montée sur supports. Il convient principalement au personnel en faisant un usage intensif aux heures de cessation de travail. Selon l'importance de l'installation, les dispositions du local, etc., les lavabos-auges sont adossés aux murs ou, plus souvent, disposés en épis perpendiculairement aux baies pour que l'éclairage soit bien dispensé entre les travées.

OBS

On trouve une illustration du lavabo-auge dans GAPLO, 1981, p. 276.
