TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the application field of ocean light-induced fishing of Pacific saury, and in particular to a fish gathering system for quickly and efficiently gathering oceanic Pacific saury using light and an operation method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Light is one of the most important ecological factors in the marine environment, and it is closely related to the daily activities of marine organisms such as growth, development, reproduction, and feeding. With the rapid development of optoelectronic technology, LED fishing lights have been widely used in the field of marine and aquatic products, thereby enabling LED to replace natural light, ultraviolet light, and high-intensity halogen light, which directly affects the reproduction, development, state, quantity, and distribution of marine organisms, and has a profound impact on the marine fishing industry. China is rich in fishery resources. According to the 2022 National Fishery Economic Statistics Bulletin, China's marine fishing output value in 2022 was 248.91 billion yuan, and the fishing output was 13,000.45 tons, ranking among the world's top. Among them, the proportion of light fishing is large, especially in the South China Sea and the ocean fishing industry. On May 21, 2023, the latest notification from the Office of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs on further strengthening the work of the North Pacific Ocean fishery compliance committee considered and adopted new measures for the conservation and management of Pacific saury resources. The Fisheries and Fishery Administration Bureau of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs formulated a new "Pacific saury fishing quota allocation management plan", which allocates quotas to each Pacific saury production enterprise and fishing boat. Each enterprise and fishing boat should produce within the specified time and quota, and should not operate without or beyond the quota, nor should it operate outside the specified time.
[0003] In the Northwest Pacific Ocean, all side trawl fishing boats are equipped with LED fishing lights for light-induced fishing operations. LED fishing lights from different manufacturers can basically achieve red and white light switching. Therefore, under the quota system, it is particularly important to improve fishing yield and efficiency, so it is necessary to upgrade the fishing equipment for light-induced fishing operations and optimize the operation details, especially the reasonable distribution of fishing lights on the fishing boat body and the adjustment of the light angle on the fishing light pole, which narrows down the area for attracting fish from large to small. Improving yield from details, improving the fishing efficiency of oceanic fisheries, reducing fuel costs, reducing carbon emissions, and providing technical support for intelligent and precise fishing of China's oceanic fisheries.
[0004] In the existing Pacific saury light-induced fishing technology, the specific operation process includes attracting fish schools, concentrating and stabilizing fish schools, driving fish schools to gather, and finally concentrating the net. However, through field investigation, it is found that during the net lifting stage, the fish schools are not all in the middle of the net for pumping, and there is a phenomenon of fish escaping from both sides of the net, resulting in low net lifting efficiency. Although many fish are attracted, the equipment and fishing technology are not in place, resulting in too many escaped fish, which reduces the single fishing yield. SUMMARY

[0038] The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings: These embodiments are implemented based on the technical solution of the present invention, and provide detailed implementation methods and specific operation processes, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.
[0039] A fish-attracting system and its operation method for rapidly and efficiently attracting Pacific saury using light, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the process includes the following steps: The jib fishing boat is divided into three areas: Area A is the stern, Area B is the bow, and Area C is the central area of the net-laying area on the main light pole. Several LED fish-attracting lights with varying lens angles are installed on the small and main light poles. During fishing operations, all the LED fish-attracting lights are turned on for a period of time to attract fish. Then, the LED fish-attracting lights on the small light poles in both the left and right halves of the small light poles are turned off sequentially from the middle of the left side of the fish-collecting section via a switch in the control room. The saury are gradually attracted to the main light pole above the net according to the closing order. At this time, several rows of fish-attracting lights on the main light pole are turned off sequentially until the outermost light pole. The outermost fish-attracting light has the smallest lens angle, illuminating a small area on the sea surface. The saury's activity area is small and they are in the middle of the net. At this time, the side ring line and the lower line are hauled in. Then, the net is hoisted and fixed to the side of the boat, and the fish are gathered by the fish suction pump to complete the fishing operation.
[0040] The present invention will be further illustrated by a specific embodiment below:
[0041] 1. Regional division of fishing vessels
[0042] The saury boat is divided into three areas: the bow, the stern, and the fishing area marked by a large light pole. Small light poles are installed at the bow and stern, each equipped with three LED fish-attracting lights using flat lenses. Each light can switch between red and white light. These small light poles are arranged around the port and starboard sides, bow, and stern, with approximately 1 meter between each pole. Area C has one large light pole. Located on the starboard side, approximately 15 meters long, with its furthest point directly above the center of the net placement area, this pole has eight rows of three LED fish-attracting lights, totaling 24 lights. Figure 2 , 3 As shown.
[0043] 2. Installation of LED fish-attracting lights on the main light pole
[0044] The main light pole, approximately 15 meters long and located midway along the starboard side, extends to its farthest point directly above the midpoint of the net placement area. It is equipped with eight rows of LED fish-attracting lights, three lights per row, totaling 24 lights. The lens angles of the LED fish-attracting lights within the same row are identical, while the lens angles vary between rows. When the main light pole is extended, the lens angle decreases with distance from the ship's side. From the section along the ship's side to the farthest point, the lens angles of each row decrease in a stepped manner, with angles of 90°, 90°, 65°, 65°, 50°, 50°, 30°, and 30° respectively. Figures 4-10 As shown.
[0045] 3. Fish gathering stage
[0046] Use a strong spotlight to gradually attract fish from a distance to the vicinity of the boat, then turn on the white light of the LED fish-attracting lights to make the saury gather around the boat.
[0047] 4. Stabilizing Fish Market Phase
[0048] Once the fish around the boat become dense enough, switch the white light to red light to reduce the fish's activity range and help to keep the fish in place.
[0049] 5. Fish herding stage
[0050] When the fish are actively moving under the red light, the red lights on the smaller light poles are turned off sequentially from the bow and stern (port side) towards the starboard side, leaving only the red light on the large light pole in area C (the fish-collecting area). The fish will follow the red light, gathering at area C from the bow or stern. Figure 5 As shown.
[0051] 6. Fish gathering stage
[0052] Starting from the starboard side of the boat, turn off each row of LED fish-attracting lights in sequence, leaving only the two rows of small-angle LED fish-attracting lights at the farthest end of the main light pole, so that the fish gather there.
[0053] 7. Pump suction stage
[0054] At this point, the side ring line and the lower line are tightened, and then the net is hoisted and fixed to the side of the ship. The crew then gathers the net from both sides of the bow and stern toward the middle to form a "pocket" shape, and pulls the net to pull the fish to the fish suction pump. The fish suction pump is then turned on to catch the fish.
[0055] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of the invention. Various changes and modifications can be made to the invention without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the present invention as claimed.
