Lobworm behavioral study device and use method thereof

Abstract

The invention discloses a lobworm behavioral study device and a use method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of aquaculture ecological experiments. The lobworm behavioral study device comprises a culture water tank, a perch U pipe and a water pumping unit, wherein the perch U pipe is placed in the culture water tank and is close to the wall of the culture water tank; the function of the water pumping unit is to pump water into or out of the culture water tank; the culture water tank is made of a transparent material and contains lobworm perch substrate; and the perch U pipe consists of an axial transparent side and a screen side. The lobworm behavioral study device disclosed by the invention breaks through a conditional restriction that the activities of lobworms are difficult to observe, and keeps the natural perch state of the lobworms, and the perch U pipe with a screen ensures that the lobworms can be in full touch with the outside perch substrate, especially with interstitial water of the perch substrate, so that an experimental technology for behavioral study of lobworms is greatly promoted, and the lobworm behavioral study device disclosed by the invention can be used for simulating natural tides and observing the activity states of the lobworms under a water condition and a waterless condition.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of aquaculture ecological experiments, in particular to a clamworm behavior research device and a using method. Background technique [0002] The clamworm is a large, burrowing, bottom-dwelling marine organism that feeds primarily on sediment and debris of plants and animals. Due to its high economic and research value, in recent years, researches on clamworms have been paid more and more attention by international and domestic researchers. In the field of environmental and ecological research, due to its strong tolerance to adverse environments, clamworms often become the dominant species in areas with harsh environments, and are often studied by researchers as environmental indicator organisms. [0003] Nereid worms have a variety of methods to cope with harsh environmental conditions, and their own physiological detoxification mechanism is an important way, and related studies have also shown that claret...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, because the clamworm inhabits in the sediment environment, its cave aperture is very small, and it is difficult for researchers to observe the activities of the clamworm in the cave; in addition, the behavior of the clamworm is closely related to the sediment environment around the cave. It cannot be isolated from the surrounding sediment environment, so its behavioral research is very difficult, and the progress of related research is slow.
