Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of tidal channel fish survey, and in particular to a floating platform for sampling and surveying tidal channel fish during high and low tides, and a quantitative evaluation method. Background Art

[0002] Tidal creeks, as an important habitat type in estuarine salt marsh wetlands, provide a transport channel for aquatic organisms such as fish and various nutrients to enter and exit estuarine salt marsh wetlands. Under the action of periodic high and low tides, biological and nutritional elements are exchanged between tidal creeks and their adjacent patches. On the one hand, they provide a variety of habitat options for fish communities to spawn, feed and seek refuge, and on the other hand, they increase the availability of wetland nutrient resources to fish communities. Therefore, scientific researchers have shown great interest in the ecological functions of tidal creeks and have carried out a series of related studies to analyze the functional characteristics of tidal creek aquatic communities, nutrients, connectivity, etc. It is generally believed that tidal creeks provide good feeding, growth, fattening and refuge places for estuarine aquatic organisms, especially small fish and juveniles, so that their populations show higher abundance, growth rate and survival rate. Therefore, estuarine wetlands play an important role as nurseries.

[0003] However, due to imperfect survey and monitoring methods, current research mainly relies on setting fixed nets in tidal channels and entering the channels after the tide recedes to collect fish caught during low tide. However, due to limitations in survey methods, detailed research on the substances and organisms that enter the tidal channels during high tide has been lacking. Furthermore, there is still a lack of scientific methods to quantitatively assess the biological and material transport effects of high and low tides.

Obviously, the embodiments described are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention. Example

[0058] A floating platform for surveying and sampling fish at high and low tides in tidal creeks, comprising a floating platform frame (3m×4m) and a survey sampling net, wherein the survey sampling net comprises a mesh opening (1.5m×2.0m) welded by galvanized pipes, both ends of which are equipped with annular bearings, the survey sampling net is connected to the floating platform frame via the galvanized pipes and the annular bearings, a flow meter is installed at the mesh opening of the survey sampling net, a nylon rope is installed on the outer surface of the mesh opening of the survey sampling net, the nylon rope is fixed to the iron ring on the platform frame, and the mesh opening welded by the galvanized pipes is connected to the floating platform frame via the galvanized pipes and the annular bearings, and a flow meter is installed at the mesh opening of the survey sampling net. The outer surface of the net mouth is installed with a fishing net with an aperture of 2mm. The rear part of the survey sampling net is connected to a net bag to hold the catch. A group of stainless steel rings are installed inside the net bag. The diameter of the stainless steel ring is 50cm. Each stainless steel ring is installed with a barbed wire made of fishing net to prevent the catch that enters the net from swimming out. The net mouth of the survey sampling net is folded up and lowered by rotating the cable. The floating platform is constructed by foam buoys, galvanized pipe frames and anti-corrosion wooden boards.

[0062] First, a 3m×4m floating platform is built with foam buoys, galvanized pipe frames and anti-corrosion wooden boards, and fixed in appropriate positions around the tidal ditch with anchors to ensure that the platform is stable and will not be moved by the tide. The specific process includes: preparing foam buoys, galvanized pipe frames, anti-corrosion wooden boards, iron rings and nylon Range Rover cable materials, using galvanized pipes to build the frame of the floating platform, ensuring that the frame structure is stable and the size is 3m×4m, installing foam buoys at the bottom of the frame to provide sufficient buoyancy so that the platform floats on the water, laying anti-corrosion wooden boards on the top of the frame, ensuring that the anti-corrosion wooden boards are flat and firmly fixed to the frame to play a flat and anti-slip role, installing anchors around the floating platform, and fixing the platform in appropriate positions in the tidal ditch with anchors to ensure that the platform will not move under the impact of the tide. After the construction is completed, carefully check the stability and safety of the floating platform to ensure that it can meet the requirements of the survey and sampling.

[0063] Then, assemble the galvanized pipe welded mesh and net to form a survey sampling net, connect the net bag to the rear end of the net, and install the mesh flow meter and related connecting parts to accurately measure the tidal flow. The specific process includes: preparing the galvanized pipe welded mesh (1.5m×2.0m), the net composed of fishing mesh, the net bag, the mesh flow meter and related connecting parts; assemble the galvanized pipe welded mesh frame and the net composed of fishing mesh to ensure that the shape and size of the mesh meet the requirements; connect the net bag to the rear end of the net to hold the catch; install the flow meter at the mesh mouth to ensure that the flow meter can accurately measure the tidal flow through the mesh mouth; fix the nylon rope to the iron ring on the platform frame to ensure the operational stability of the fishing net; check whether the various components of the survey sampling net are firmly installed and whether the net is intact to ensure that the survey sampling net can be used normally;

[0064] Next, before the survey, all nets were erected and placed on the platform to reduce water resistance and interference with aquatic life. The specific process included: checking whether the various components of the floating platform and the survey sampling net were intact, checking the operating status of the anchor, cable, and flow meter, erecting all nets on the floating platform, ensuring that the nets were placed in a reasonable position and did not affect the stability of the platform and the operating space, and preparing the containers needed to collect the catch, checking the safety facilities on the floating platform, such as guardrails, etc., to ensure the safety of the sampling personnel. The sampling personnel boarded the floating platform at low tide and prepared for the survey. The sampling personnel were familiar with the operation of the cable, as well as the reading and data recording methods of the flow meter, and observed the environmental conditions of the tidal creek, including the rise and fall of the tide and the water flow speed, and reasonably arranged the survey time and operation steps.

[0065] Then, when the depth of the high tide reaches more than 1.5m, the high tide fishing net is lowered. After the collection is completed, the net is pulled up to collect the catch, the flow meter numbers are read and the tidal flow is calculated, and the relevant data is recorded. The specific process includes: the sampling personnel closely observe the tide conditions. When the depth of the high tide reaches more than 1.5m, they are ready to proceed to the next step. The high tide fishing net is lowered by the cable. The fishing net enters the water smoothly and is unfolded to the appropriate position. During the high tide, the fishing net is allowed to fully collect the aquatic organisms and nutrients that enter with the tide. When the collection is completed, the fishing net is pulled onto the platform by the cable, and the catch in the net bag is carefully taken out and placed in the prepared container. The numbers before and after the net mouth flow meter are read and recorded. According to the reading of the flow meter, the tidal flow through the net mouth is calculated, and the type and quantity of the catch and the tidal flow data are recorded in detail.

[0066] The low tide fishing net is lowered at low tide. After the collection is completed, the net is pulled up to collect the catch, the flow meter data is read, the tidal flow is calculated, and the relevant data is recorded. The specific process includes: the sampling personnel closely observe the tide conditions and wait for the low tide. When the tide begins to low, the low tide fishing net is lowered by the cable, so that it enters the water and unfolds. During the low tide, the fishing net is allowed to collect aquatic organisms and substances that retreat with the tide. After the collection is completed, the fishing net is pulled onto the platform by the cable, the catch is taken out of the net bag and placed in the corresponding container, the data of the net port flow meter at this time is read and recorded, and the tidal flow through the net port is calculated according to the flow meter reading, and the type and quantity of the catch and the tidal flow data obtained from the low tide survey are recorded in detail.

[0067] Finally, a detailed analysis and evaluation is conducted based on the data on fish catch and tidal water flow to understand the situation of tidal creek organisms and material transport, comprehensively evaluate the ecological functions and health status of tidal creeks, and provide data support and decision-making basis for related research and ecological protection. The specific process includes: organizing and classifying the types and quantities of fish catch and tidal water flow data recorded in the high tide survey and low tide survey, counting the types and quantities of fish catch, calculating the occurrence frequency and quantity distribution indicators of each fish species, analyzing the changes in tidal water flow, including the difference in flow at high tide and low tide, and the change trend of flow over time, and exploring the correlation between the types and quantities of fish catch and tidal water flow, so as to understand the relationship between tidal creek organisms and material transport.

[0068] Use the Pearson correlation coefficient to calculate the correlation coefficient between the number of fish caught and the tidal flow to determine the strength of the correlation between them, for example: "Calculate the Pearson correlation coefficient between the number of fish caught and the tidal flow, according to the formula ,in represents the observed value of the number of fish caught, represents the observed value of tidal water flow, and They represent the average values ​​of the number of fish caught and the tidal flow, respectively, and n represents the number of observations. The correlation coefficient r obtained by calculation can be used to determine the strength of the correlation between the number of fish caught and the tidal flow.

[0069] Through the above steps, we can comprehensively collect aquatic organisms and nutrients in tidal creeks at high tide and low tide, which makes up for the shortcomings of existing research in collecting relevant data at high tide, realizes accurate monitoring and quantitative evaluation of tidal creek organisms and material transport, and can fully understand the types, number and distribution of tidal creek organisms, as well as changes in tidal flow, so as to gain an in-depth understanding of the situation of tidal creek organisms and material transport, providing important data support and decision-making basis for related research and ecological protection.

[0070] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above and that the invention can be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered in all respects as illustrative and non-restrictive, and the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims, not the foregoing description, and all variations within the meaning and scope of the same elements of the claims are intended to be included therein.
