BACKGROUND

[0002] With the improvement of people's living standards, the aquaculture industry has experienced its supply and demand dividend and has developed vigorously, and the circulating water aquaculture has become a promising aquaculture mode because of its high breeding density, controllable breeding environment and sustainable development benefits. In order to ensure the healthy growth of the breeding organisms and the quality of aquatic products, the circulating water aquaculture mode relies on various water treatment equipment to accurately control the water quality parameters such as temperature and dissolved oxygen of the breeding environment. However, the characteristics of high breeding density also have higher requirements for water quality monitoring and water pollution treatment. Especially in the breeding process, if the ammonia nitrogen and other pollutants generated cannot be effectively degraded, it will have many adverse effects on the environment and production. Fish living in water bodies with too high ammonia nitrogen content will also have some physiological discomfort, and even lead to abnormal daily behavior, including but not limited to swimming, feeding and population behavior, etc.

[0003] Based on the above problems, the present application provides a circulating water aquaculture water body ammonia nitrogen warning method and system based on fish population behavior feedback, which obtains the foreground target of the breeding object through a deep learning algorithm, real-time acquires the behavior and growth condition of the fish population, and combines the correlation between the water quality ammonia nitrogen concentration to simulate the results as the basis for warning the abnormal ammonia nitrogen concentration of the breeding water body, so as to enable the breeding personnel to make timely adjustments and equipment control, and to ensure suitable water quality conditions for fish growth.

[0026] The present application has the following beneficial effects:

[0027] The application provides a circulating water aquaculture water body ammonia nitrogen early warning method and system based on fish population behavior feedback. A deep learning algorithm is used to obtain a foreground target of an aquaculture object, the behavior and growth condition of a fish school are obtained in real time, and the correlation between the behavior and growth condition and the ammonia nitrogen concentration of water quality is combined to make early warning of the ammonia nitrogen concentration of the aquaculture water body based on simulation results, so that the aquaculture personnel can make timely adjustment and equipment control, and suitable water quality conditions are provided for fish growth. Although monitoring various water quality indexes by using a water quality sensor is a good water quality monitoring mode, the sensor used for monitoring ammonia nitrogen often cannot work stably for a long time, and real-time observation data cannot be obtained for a project that needs to be sampled regularly, and the timeliness is greatly reduced. Fish always live in a water environment and are very sensitive to changes in water quality (especially ammonia nitrogen), and their every move can reflect possible changes in the ammonia nitrogen concentration of the water body in real time and long-term pollution.
