Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of smart aquaculture, specifically involving a pond-based precise feeding decision-making and execution method based on the real-time physiological metabolic energy demand calculation of perch and coupled with water quality micro-zone dynamics and feeding competition behavior. Background Technology
[0002] The core challenge in precision feeding for sea bass lies in the static nature of supply versus the dynamic nature of demand. Existing technologies largely rely on "historical growth models + environmental factor correction" to predict current demand, essentially an extrapolation method that cannot detect in real-time metabolic fluctuations caused by stress, disease, or group competition. Furthermore, existing feeding logic is often unidirectional, with adjustments typically based on post-event feedback of uneaten feed levels, resulting in long feedback cycles and an inability to distinguish the causes of uneaten feed. Simultaneously, existing technologies treat the fish population as uniformly distributed, ignoring the sea bass's strong competitive feeding behavior, leading to chronic underfeeding in highly competitive areas for weaker individuals and causing severe growth differentiation. This invention aims to overturn the "feed-centric" feeding logic and establish a new paradigm of "fish-centric, real-time sensing, and tiered satisfaction," fundamentally solving the aforementioned problems. Summary of the Invention
[0003] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention emphasizes a shift in logic from "feed-centric" to "fish-centric." Existing feeding techniques suffer from drawbacks such as delayed demand estimation, unidirectional feeding logic, and neglect of competitive behavior within fish schools. This results in an inability to respond in real-time to instantaneous metabolic changes in fish caused by stress or competition, and easily leads to insufficient feeding in weaker individuals. This invention provides an intelligent stratified precision feeding method based on a sea bass physiological metabolic energy demand model. By directly and in real-time estimating the instantaneous total metabolic energy demand of the fish school online, it achieves real-time perception and stratified fulfillment of the fish's true physiological needs. This precise perception can effectively reduce the feed conversion ratio, alleviate uneven growth caused by feeding competition, and significantly improve aquaculture efficiency.
[0004] The technical solution of this invention is: an intelligent stratified precision feeding method based on a bass physiological metabolic energy demand model, comprising the following steps:
[0005] Step 1: Online estimation of instantaneous total metabolic energy demand of the bass population;
[0006] (1) Real-time acquisition of dissolved oxygen consumption rate and fish movement data in the pond to be fed, establishment of physiological metabolic model, real-time estimation of instantaneous metabolic energy demand of fish in the current environment, and calculation of basal respiratory metabolic energy demand. :
[0007] ;
[0008] In the formula: The oxygen consumption rate of pure fish after removing the losses in the blank control group; The effective water volume of the pond; The oxygen thermal equivalent coefficient; Based on real-time water temperature Dynamic correction is performed, and the correction formula is as follows: ;
[0009] (2) Estimating the metabolic energy demand of activities by linking acoustic Doppler current profiler and camera network image recognition :
[0010] ;
[0011] In the formula: , It is the coefficient of variation of local water flow velocity monitored using an acoustic Doppler current profiler. For calibration coefficients; The average swimming speed of the fish; and To correct the parameters; The number of fish;
[0012] (3) The sum of the two gives the instantaneous total metabolic energy requirement. :
[0013] ;
[0014] Step 2: Identify dynamic pond zoning based on feeding competition intensity;
[0015] Before feeding, a feeding detection exercise was performed to track the feeding behavior distribution of the fish in real time and to construct a feeding competition intensity model. Based on this, the pond is divided into several hierarchical areas with differentiated competitive capabilities;
[0016] Step 3: Generation and execution of hierarchical dynamic feeding strategy;
[0017] Based on the instantaneous total metabolic energy requirement Growth energy required for the target daily growth rate Determine the total amount of feed The system implements a differentiated feeding mode based on the distribution weight of the hierarchical regions and makes real-time dynamic adjustments based on the feeding images during the feeding process.
[0018] Step 4: Optimize model parameters based on feedback of uniform individual growth;
[0019] Monitor feeding effects and calculate the coefficient of variation of population body weight. ,based on Closed-loop correction of the feeding weight allocation coefficient and competition level division threshold in subsequent cycles.
[0020] Furthermore, in step two, the competition intensity model... The construction logic is as follows: use object detection algorithms to identify the center coordinates of the fish school and calculate the local fish density. Compared with the average individual distance Combined with the frequency of food-grabbing behavior per unit time Overall assessment.
[0021] Furthermore, in step two, the partitioning level adopts an adaptive threshold division: high-competition region threshold. =Mean CI of the entire pool + 1.2 standard deviations; Threshold for non-feeding areas =Mean CI of the entire pool - 0.8 times the standard deviation.
[0022] Furthermore, in step three, the total amount of feed... The calculation formula is: In the formula: To determine the growth energy required based on the target daily growth rate, For feed energy conversion efficiency, This refers to the energy value per unit weight of the feed used.
[0023] Furthermore, in step three, the differentiated feeding model includes: adopting a "high single-volume, precise point-to-point feeding" model in high-competition areas, and introducing a compensation coefficient. Adjust quotas and feed volume in highly competitive areas The calculation formula is: , Weights are assigned to high-competition areas; a standard uniform surface projection mode is used for medium / low-competition areas.
[0024] Furthermore, in step three, the adaptive adjustment logic of the feeding process is as follows: real-time monitoring of the feeding competition images in each zone; if the growth rate of the clustered area in a certain zone decreases... If the quota for that zone is reduced, the saved bait will be added in real time to the zones where the feeding intensity is still high.
[0025] Furthermore, in step four, the coefficient of variation of population body weight The formula for estimating the linkage is: In the formula: For correction factor, and These represent the average competition intensity in the high-competition and low-competition zones, respectively.
[0026] Furthermore, it also includes a parameter closed-loop optimization process: the system automatically updates once every set threshold number of days (3 days). If the value shows an increasing trend, the weights allocated to high-competition regions will be automatically increased using a reinforcement learning algorithm. and compensation coefficient This enables precise allocation of resources.
[0027] Furthermore, it also includes emergency treatment for stress responses in bass under extreme conditions: if a sudden increase in water flow velocity is detected... or water body If the value deviates from the range of 7.0-8.5, immediately suspend feeding and resume feeding at 50% of the initial quota after a set threshold time (5 minutes).
[0028] The beneficial effects of this invention are: it provides an intelligent stratified and precise feeding method based on a model of the physiological metabolic energy requirements of sea bass.
[0029] Demand perception: The system shifts from indirect model prediction to direct online measurement of fish metabolism (oxygen consumption rate + activity), enabling a "direct reading" of the fish's real and instantaneous physiological needs with extremely fast response speed.
[0030] Feeding logic: It pioneers the "explore before feeding, tiered treatment" model. By pre-feeding attractants, it dynamically detects the distribution and competitive landscape of fish schools, and then implements differentiated feeding strategies accordingly, fundamentally alleviating uneven growth caused by feeding competition.
[0031] Adaptive process control: During the feeding process, the feeding amount in each zone is dynamically adjusted in real time based on the images of food competition, achieving "second-level" feedback and optimization, which surpasses the traditional long cycle mode of "feeding-feeding platform observation-next adjustment".
[0032] Optimization goal: To achieve uniform population growth ( ) Instead of simply using total output or feed conversion ratio as long-term optimization goals, it better meets the comprehensive needs of healthy farming and improved economic benefits, and continuously improves farming results through closed-loop optimization.

[0037] The present invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0038] like Figure 1 , 3As shown, an intelligent stratified precision feeding method based on a sea bass physiological metabolic energy demand model includes the following steps:
[0039] Step 1: Online estimation of instantaneous metabolic energy demand of bass population
[0040] Respiratory metabolic energy estimation: Three fixed-point high-precision dissolved oxygen sensors were deployed in representative waters of the pond (located in the upwind, midwind, and downwind areas, respectively). A blank control group (enclosed by a net, with a volume of 1% of the total pond volume) was also established. By measuring the dissolved oxygen consumption rate in the water, subtracting the dissolved oxygen consumption rate of the blank control group (to offset interference from plankton, uneaten food, etc.), and combining this with the pond water volume, the instantaneous oxygen consumption rate of the entire fish population was inferred. Based on the oxygen calorific value of perch (adapted to dynamic water temperature correction), the oxygen consumption rate was converted into the basal respiratory metabolic energy requirement of the entire population. The calculation formula is:
[0041]
[0042] Wherein, ΔO2 is the decrease in dissolved oxygen concentration per unit time. (Take the average value of 3 fixed-point sensors) The effective water volume of the pond (m³) The oxygen-heat equivalent coefficient for sea bass was derived from respiratory metabolism experimental data and verified under multiple water temperature conditions. Thirty sea bass of three sizes (50g, 200g, and 500g) were selected for the experiment. Under five water temperature gradients (18℃, 22℃, 25℃, 28℃, and 32℃), the oxygen consumption and heat production of the sea bass in a closed breathing chamber were measured. A linear regression analysis was used to establish a model relating water temperature and oxygen-heat equivalent coefficient. (Where, the coefficient of determination R² = 0.97, and the sample size n = 450). The estimation error of this formula is ≤3% within the range of 18-32℃ (the suitable water temperature range for sea bass growth), where T is the real-time water temperature (℃), which is synchronously collected by a dissolved oxygen sensor.
[0043] Activity-based metabolic energy correction: Coefficient of variation of local water flow velocity monitored using acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) Indirectly derive the average swimming speed of the bass population The formula is (k is the calibration coefficient, with a default value of 0.03, which can be calibrated through one initial sampling). The fish population N is estimated by linking ADCP flow velocity data with camera network image recognition: ( The average fish density of the entire pond is output in real time by network image recognition from surface and underwater cameras. The average volume of a single fish is used, dynamically updated based on the initial stocking size and growth model. The metabolic energy requirement due to increased activity is calculated using a fish swimming metabolic model. :
[0044]
[0045] in, and The default parameters for the model related to sea bass weight are (a=0.08, suitable for sea bass of 50-500g size; b=2.3). Users can automatically correct these parameters by inputting the current average weight of the sea bass, without the need for additional experimental calibration.
[0046] Total metabolizable energy requirement: The instantaneous total metabolizable energy requirement of the fish population under the current environment. for:
[0047]
[0048] This requirement is the lower limit of energy that needs to be obtained from food to maintain current life activities.
[0049] Step 2: Dynamic pond zoning based on feeding competition intensity identification
[0050] Feeding Hotspot Detection: Ten minutes before planned feeding, 0.5g of ordinary attractant bait (no marking required) is automatically added to each of 5-8 pre-set fixed detection points (evenly distributed throughout the pond) using built-in mini feeders. Utilizing surface and underwater cameras at each detection point, image recognition technology tracks the spatiotemporal distribution of the bait as the fish discover and feed, quickly delineating the fish's "initial feeding hotspot" area at that moment. If the water transparency is <30cm (as determined by the camera), the system switches to a combined "water disturbance sensor + sound sensor" approach: the frequency of water vibrations caused by fish swimming (≥5Hz) and the intensity of feeding sounds (≥40dB) replace visual identification of feeding behavior.
[0051] Competition intensity modeling: In the "initial feeding hotspot" area, by analyzing images of fish school aggregation, we identify individual spacing and the frequency of feeding behavior, and establish a micro-feeding competition intensity index. :
[0052]
[0053] in, Local fish density The average inter-individual distance, The growth rate of the area where fish gather within 5 minutes ( , This represents the increase in the area of clustering. (This refers to the initial aggregation area). The higher the value, the more intense the competition for food in the area, and the more difficult it is for weaker individuals to obtain food. The parameters are obtained as follows:
[0054] Local fish density Real-time images of the "initial feeding hotspot" area are collected using a network of surface and underwater cameras. The YOLO object detection algorithm is used to identify the outline coordinates of each bass in the images. The actual area S of the detection area (calculated from the camera installation position, angle, and calibration parameters, unit: m²) is used as the denominator to identify the number of fish in the school. For the molecule, the calculation yields (Unit: tails / m²). If there is an error in the recognition of a single frame, the average value of 10 consecutive frames is taken to improve stability.
[0055] Average interpersonal distance The center coordinates of each fish identified based on the YOLO algorithm described above. The distance between any two fish can be calculated using the Euclidean distance formula. Calculate the sum of all pairwise distances within the region. Then divide by the logarithm of the effective spacing ( ), thus obtaining the average inter-individual distance. (Unit: m). If the number of fish in the area... The default value is 1.5 times the body length of a single fish (the body length is dynamically updated by the initial stocking size and growth model, without the need for manual measurement).
[0056] The number of feeding behaviors observed per unit time (statistically counted in real time by image recognition algorithm: when the fish body outline overlaps with the bait outline and is accompanied by a tail swing amplitude ≥30°, it is judged as 1 feeding behavior, and the total number within 1 minute is counted).
[0057] Layered feeding partition generation: Based on the statistical characteristics of the entire pool's CI values, an adaptive threshold is used to divide the layers (avoiding the limitations of a fixed threshold): =Mean CI of the entire pool + 1.2 standard deviations =The total pool CI mean minus 0.8 standard deviations divides the pond into at least three tiers:
[0058] High-competition zone (H zone): They need to be fed sufficient amounts of bait quickly and promptly to alleviate competition.
[0059] Medium / Low Competition Zone (M / L Zone): Feed them according to the usual strategy.
[0060] Non-feeding zone (N zone): No effective feeding behavior was observed, so feeding was suspended or only very small amounts were given as a trial.
[0061] Step 3: Generation and Execution of Layered Dynamic Feeding Strategy
[0062] Total feeding energy determined: based on the results obtained in step one. The growth energy required to achieve the target daily growth rate (1.2% / day) and feed energy conversion efficiency (0.40), determine the total energy of the feed required for this feeding. :
[0063] ;
[0064] Among them, the feed energy conversion efficiency This refers to the portion of the total energy consumed by fish that is used for metabolic maintenance. With growth energy The effective utilization rate.
[0065] Based on the energy value per unit weight of the feed used Converted to total feeding amount :
[0066] ;
[0067] Hierarchical dynamic allocation: Dynamically allocate partitions according to the following principles:
[0068] High-competition zone (H zone): Obtain allocation weight Furthermore, it employs a feeding pattern of "high single-batch quantity, low frequency, and precise spot feeding" to maximize bait accessibility. The calculation formula is as follows: ,in The compensation coefficient for area H based on historical data ( ).
[0069] Medium / Low Competition Zone (M / L Zone): Obtaining Allocation Weight =0.45, using the conventional feeding mode.
[0070] Non-feeding zone (N zone): assigned minimal weight =0.05, only exploratory feeding was conducted to monitor changes in the fish population's condition.
[0071] The weights satisfy: =1, and the weights can be dynamically initialized based on the area of each partition and the initial feeding hotspot detection results.
[0072] Adaptive adjustment during feeding: During the feeding process, the feeding intensity of each zone is analyzed in real time. If the feeding intensity of a certain zone drops rapidly after the start of feeding, the subsequent feeding amount for that zone is dynamically reduced, and the saved feed quota is added in real time to the zones where the feeding intensity remains high.
[0073] Step 4: Optimization of model parameters based on feedback of uniform individual growth
[0074] Without the need for manual sampling and harvesting, the coefficient of variation in population body weight can be estimated by linking regional feeding intensity with growth models. The formula is ( CI value for high-competition regions CI value for low competition region; The correction coefficient (default 0.85) is automatically updated every 3 days and serves as the core evaluation indicator for feeding uniformity and effectiveness.
[0075] like Figure 2 , 4 As shown, parameter closed-loop optimization: As the optimization objective, a feedback loop is established. If An increase indicates that uneven growth within the population is intensifying, thus automatically adjusting the allocation weights in step three. , , and H-zone compensation coefficient In subsequent feeding, resources will be further allocated to high-competition areas, and the competition threshold in step two will be optimized. and This process can be achieved using reinforcement learning algorithms.

[0137] Emergency Handling: If a sensor malfunctions (automatically detected by the system), immediately activate the backup calculation model (e.g., if the dissolved oxygen sensor malfunctions, use a regression model of "temperature-pH value-fish activity intensity" to estimate). At the same time, an alarm will be issued; during extreme weather such as heavy rain and high temperature, the system will automatically reduce the target daily growth rate to 1.0% / day and reduce the amount of feed; when the pH value of the water body deviates from the range of 7.0-8.5, feeding will be suspended and trial feeding will be carried out after the water quality recovers.
[0138] Data Management: The main control terminal automatically stores daily key data (metabolic energy requirements, feeding amount in different zones, CI value, water quality parameters, etc.) for a period of no less than one year. It supports data export and trend analysis to provide a basis for subsequent aquaculture optimization.
