[0002] Biological monitoring is often used to monitor industrial wastewater discharge and drinking water source water quality. The biological early warning system is a system that uses organisms as sensors to continuously monitor and warn of water pollution. This project uses zebrafish, which are sensitive to the toxicity of pollutants, as test fish. By observing the respiratory physiological changes of zebrafish, early warning of water source water quality can be achieved, thereby preliminarily evaluating the water quality of the water body. According to the above, because the biological water quality breeding experimental pools on the market are generally simple in structure and single in function, it is not only impossible to regularly test the water quality, but also inconvenient to effectively track and record the organisms, which ultimately affects the effect of water quality monitoring.

The water body flows into the detection pool, and then the staff can put the zebrafish into the detection pool. At this time, the water body is detected by the zebrafish that is sensitive to the toxicity of pollutants, that is, the water quality of the water body is preliminarily evaluated. At the same time, the water in the pool body is discharged to the outside through the outlet pipe by opening the second solenoid valve. Finally, through the above method, the water body required for detection from the outside can be regularly allowed to enter the pool body, thereby realizing the timed detection of the water body. In addition, the staff can also open the camera and then pull the camera as needed, so that the camera drives the memory wire to move. Because the memory wire has a good shaping effect, it can drive the camera to move to the position required by the staff and fix it. Then, the zebrafish can be photographed by the camera. Finally, through the above method, the tracking and recording of the behavior of the zebrafish can be realized, which is convenient for the subsequent research and analysis of the staff.

The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0029] See also Figure 1 to Figure 6The present invention provides a breeding experimental pond for water quality monitoring using zebrafish, comprising a pond body 101, a water inlet pipe 102, a water outlet pipe 103, a fixing plate 104, a timer 105, a camera 106, a memory wire 107 and an adjustment component, wherein the water inlet pipe 102 and the water outlet pipe 103 are respectively connected to the pond body 101, the adjustment component is arranged on the outer side wall of the pond body 101, the fixing plate 104 is connected to the adjustment component, the timer 105 is arranged on the outer side wall of the fixing plate 104, and the two ends of the memory wire 107 are respectively connected to the camera 106 and the fixing plate 104;

[0030] The adjustment assembly includes a transverse movement module, a connecting frame 108, a driving member, a movable frame 109, a circular shaft 110, a connecting rod 111 and two telescopic rods. The transverse movement module is arranged on the outer wall of the pool body 101, the connecting frame 108 is connected to the transverse movement module and is located above the transverse movement module, the driving member is fixedly connected to the connecting frame 108 and is located above the connecting frame 108, one end of the connecting rod 111 is connected to the driving member, the circular shaft 110 is connected to the other end of the connecting rod 111, the movable frame 109 is movably connected to the circular shaft 110 and is sleeved on the outside of the circular shaft 110, the movable frame 109 is also fixedly connected to the fixed plate 104 and is located below the fixed plate 104, and the two ends of each of the telescopic rods are respectively fixedly connected to the connecting frame 108 and the movable frame 109.

[0031] In this embodiment, the water to be monitored flows into the pool body 101, and then the staff can put the zebrafish into the pool body 101. Since zebrafish are sensitive to low-oxygen environments, they can quickly reflect changes in the oxygen content of the water quality. The camera 106 is used to observe the health and behavioral changes of the zebrafish to obtain water quality monitoring data, thereby realizing the use of zebrafish to detect the water body; when adjusting the monitoring position of the camera 106, the transverse movement module is first used to drive the camera 106 to move transversely to adjust the position, and then the driving member above the connecting frame 108 is started, and the driving member controls the rotation of the connecting rod 111, and the connecting rod 111 drives the circular shaft 110 to move in the movable frame 109 , the movable frame 109 will be pulled downward or pushed upward by the circular shaft 110, so that the camera 106 is raised or lowered, wherein the two telescopic rods will be extended and retracted according to the movement of the movable frame 109. After the height of the camera 106 is adjusted appropriately, the driving member is stopped, and then the zebrafish in the pool body 101 are observed using the camera 106. In addition, by pulling the camera 106, the camera 106 drives the memory wire 107 to move, so that the position of the camera 106 can be fine-tuned. Through the above method, the position and height of the camera 106 can be adjusted according to monitoring needs, which greatly increases the monitoring range of the camera 106 and is conducive to the stable monitoring of water quality.

[0032] Furthermore, the adjustment assembly further includes a support spring 112 , and two ends of the support spring 112 are fixedly connected to the connecting frame 108 and the movable frame 109 , respectively.

[0033] In this embodiment, the support spring 112 is provided, and the support spring 112 is located between the movable frame 109 and the connecting frame 108. The support spring 112 pulls the movable frame 109, thereby increasing the stability of the movable frame 109 when it is raised or lowered, and also preventing the movable frame 109 from falling rapidly due to equipment failure.

[0034] Furthermore, the driving member includes a support seat 113 and a first motor 114, the support seat 113 is fixedly connected to the connecting frame 108 and is located above the connecting frame 108, the first motor 114 is fixedly connected to the support seat 113 and is located inside the support seat 113, and one end of the connecting rod 111 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first motor 114.

[0035] In this embodiment, the support seat 113 fixedly supports the first motor 114 above the connecting frame 108, and the output end of the first motor 114 drives the connecting rod 111 to rotate, wherein the support seat 113 maintains a higher position above the connecting frame 108, enabling the connecting rod 111 to rotate in a circle.

[0037] In this embodiment, when the movable frame 109 moves up and down, the movable frame 109 drives the inner rod 115 to slide in the outer tube 116. The arrangement of the inner rod 115 and the outer tube 116 limits the moving trajectory of the movable frame 109 and its stability during movement.

[0038] Furthermore, the transverse movement module includes a mounting frame 117, a screw rod 118, a screw rod nut 119 and a second motor 120. The mounting frame 117 is fixedly connected to the pool body 101 and is located on the outer wall of the pool body 101. Both ends of the screw rod 118 are rotatably connected to the mounting frame 117. The screw rod nut 119 is sleeved on the outside of the screw rod 118 and threadedly cooperates with the screw rod 118. The screw rod nut 119 is also movably connected to the mounting frame 117 and is located in the mounting frame 117. The second motor 120 is arranged on the outer wall of the mounting frame 117. The output end of the second motor 120 is connected to the screw rod 118. The connecting frame 108 is fixedly connected to the screw rod nut 119 and is located above the screw rod nut 119.

[0039] In this embodiment, when the camera 106 is adjusted to move laterally, the second motor 120 is started, and the output end of the second motor 120 drives the screw rod 118 to rotate in the mounting frame 122. Since the screw nut 119 is threadedly matched with the screw rod 118, the screw nut 119 will move laterally in the mounting frame 122. Then, the screw nut 119 drives the camera 106 to move through the connecting frame 108. After the camera 106 is adjusted appropriately, the second motor 120 is stopped.

[0040] Furthermore, the aquaculture experimental pond for monitoring water quality using zebrafish also includes a handle 121 , which is fixedly connected to the camera 106 and is located on the outer side wall of the camera 106 .

[0041] In this embodiment, by providing the handle 121 on the camera 106 , the handle 121 can be used to facilitate fine adjustment of the position of the camera 106 .

[0042] Furthermore, the breeding experimental pond for water quality monitoring using zebrafish also includes an observation component, which includes an observation window 126, a mounting frame 122, a slide bar 123, a movable plate 124 and cleaning cotton 125. The observation window 126 is fixedly connected to the pool body 101 and is located on the pool body 101. The mounting frame 122 is fixedly connected to the pool body 101 and is located on the outer wall of the pool body 101. Both ends of the slide bar 123 are fixedly connected to the mounting frame 122. The movable plate 124 is slidably connected to the slide bar 123. The cleaning cotton 125 is fixedly connected to the movable plate 124 and is located on the inner wall of the movable plate 124.

[0043] In this embodiment, by setting the observation window 126 on the pool body 101, the staff can use the observation window 126 to visually understand the activities of the zebrafish in the pool body 101. When there is dust or dirt on the surface of the observation window 126, the movable plate 124 is pulled to slide back and forth on the slide rod 123 by applying force. At the same time, the movable plate 124 drives the cleaning cotton 125 to wipe the surface of the observation window 126, so that the observation window 126 is cleaned, which is convenient for visually observing the activities of the zebrafish in the pool body 101.

[0044] The present invention also provides a method for monitoring water quality using zebrafish, comprising the following steps:

[0045] S1: transporting the monitored water in the tank 101;

[0046] S2: Utilize the water inlet pipe 102 and the water outlet pipe 103 in conjunction with a solenoid valve to simulate the flow and changes of natural water bodies;

[0047] S3: placing zebrafish in the pool 101;

[0048] S4: Install the camera 106 above the pool 101 and cooperate with the timer 105 to regularly record the behavior changes of zebrafish;

[0049] S5: Record water quality monitoring data and zebrafish behavior observations and generate detailed data reports.

[0050] In this embodiment, zebrafish are sensitive to low oxygen environments and can quickly reflect changes in water quality oxygen content. First, the monitoring water is transported in the pool 101, and then the water inlet pipe 102 and the water outlet pipe 103 are used in conjunction with an electromagnetic valve to simulate the flow and changes of natural water. Zebrafish are then placed in the pool 101, and the camera 106 is installed above the pool 101. In conjunction with the timer 105, the behavior changes of zebrafish are recorded regularly, and water quality monitoring data and zebrafish behavior observation results are recorded in real time to generate a detailed data report. In the above-mentioned breeding monitoring system, by raising a zebrafish p65 gene knockout homozygous mutant strain, it is possible to monitor whether there is hypoxia in the water body, and the use of biological monitoring methods reduces chemical interference and pollution to the water body.
