[0034] a transplantation cup 1 detachably connected to the mounting ring 32;

[0035] a top plate 2 detachably connected to the top end of the support column 3.

[0036] The artificial fish reef needs to connect the bottom end of the support column 3 to the center of the base 5 when assembled, then install the transplantation cup 1 in the mounting ring 32 outside the extended support arm 33, and finally install the top plate 2 on the top of the support column 3 to form a set of artificial fish reefs. The transplantation cup 1 is planted with coral stumps, which can stably grow and reproduce after entering the water. The support column 3 and the cylindrical side plate 4 of the artificial fish reef of the application are divided into two layers, and the plurality of support arms 33 are arranged radially and alternately on the support column 3 and the cylindrical side plate 4. Therefore, the application has good space utilization, provides space for the growth and reproduction of corals, and provides more hiding space for fish, realizes the aggregation of fish, and enhances the diversity and productivity of the marine ecosystem.

[0045] Further optimization scheme, the diameter of the support column 3 and the base 5 gradually decreases from bottom to top.

[0046] The diameter of the support column 3 and the base 5 is small at the top and large at the bottom, forming a tower structure, which can lower the center of gravity of the artificial reef and make the artificial reef more stable and not easy to be washed away by the water flow.

[0047] Further optimization scheme, the base 5 is poured with concrete; the support column 3 is poured with reinforced concrete structure.

[0048] The concrete reinforced structure design considers the durability and ability to resist harsh marine environment of the artificial reef, ensuring its long-term effective service to the marine ecological restoration and sustainable development of fishery resources.
