Benefits of technology

This patented technology uses image analysis techniques from cameras or scanners to identify specific types of coilidium (Coils) found at various locations throughout waterways such as rivers, lakes, ponds, etc., without any complicated processes like physical measurements. By comparing images taken under certain environmental factors, we find patterns between them indicating possible relationships among sea life's genera. These patterned areas indicate similarities across multiple races within one group compared against another.

Problems solved by technology

This patented problem addressed in the patents relates to studying the distribution patterns and behavior of various types of marine organisms like Achoridae and Cynopterisceae during their migration through waterways. Traditional techniques require extensive laboratory preparation and observation over long periods of time. To address this issue, new tools based on DNA technology have emerged recently, but they still face challenges related to accurate identification and quantitative evaluation of individual taxa's resource allocation under varying environmental factors.

Embodiment 1

[0036] Embodiment 1: A method for discriminating fish populations of the genus Anchovy based on otolith morphology, using the following process steps:

[0037] (1) Collection: 10 anchovy and anchovy specimens were collected in the Kowloon Estuary in September 2016, and the dextral otoliths were removed after transported back to the laboratory as research objects;

[0038] (2) Shooting: Use a digital camera to take pictures of the complete otolith morphology on a flat plate with scales in the upward direction of the main groove of the otolith;

[0039] (3) Correction: Correct the magnification of all photos in the same direction on the computer, so that all photos are in the same direction and at the same magnification;

[0040] (4) Database establishment: Utilize tpsdig2 software to the coordinate point that takes and has processed the otolith picture establishment, such as figure 1 As shown, obtain the x and y coordinate values ​​(2D) of the landmark points, establish the co...

Abstract

The invention relates to a distinguishing method for coilia fishes population based on otolith morphology, and belongs to the technical field of aquatic wildlife protection. The method comprises: By collection, photographing, correction, database establishment and discriminant analysis, collecting coilia fish samples in different water areas; after sample collection, carrying the samples back to alaboratory, removing an otolith, and taking photos with a main groove surface facing upward; correcting an amplification factor of all photos according to an unified direction, so that all photos arein the unified direction and amplification factor; establishing a reference coordinate axis system and calculating coordinate point data files of contour end points of the otolith morphology and a main groove inflection point. The analysis method is reliable and has good precision. The method effectively distinguishes different species of coilia fishes, and effectively distinguishes different population of coilia fishes. In addition, an otolith morphological characteristic library and a discriminant function equation of each coilia fish can be established.
