The deep integration and development of marine aquaculture and offshore wind power will become a new industrial model for economical and intensive use of the sea, leading the industry towards a greener and more sustainable future. At present, large yellow croaker (Larimichthys crocea) has become the largest marine aquaculture fish in my country. The waters of Fujian and Zhejiang are the main large yellow croaker aquaculture areas in my country, accounting for about 85.49% of the national large yellow croaker aquaculture output. The main auditory organs of large yellow croaker are the inner ear, lateral line and swim bladder. It includes semicircular canals (anterior semicircular canals, posterior semicircular canals, horizontal semicircular canals) and sac-like structures containing otoliths (oval sac, saccule, bottle sac), which cover the sensory epithelium, and the developed auditory structure is directly related to its vocalization function. The urgent problem to be solved in the aquaculture of large yellow croaker in the wind-fishing integration model is the stress problem caused by the sensitivity of large yellow croaker to sound.

[0015] The method for using the screening device specifically comprises the following steps:

[0016] Step S1, screening the temporary rearing area (5) in the noise stress resistance experimental water tank (4) for temporary rearing of experimental fish before the experiment begins, selecting 60 large yellow croakers with healthy and intact body surfaces to be temporarily reared in the temporary rearing area for 3 days, during which the control water valve (12), the constant temperature water tank (18), the temperature sensing control switch (19), the heating rod (20) and the circulating water system (20) are all in an open state to ensure that the device can provide suitable environmental conditions for the large yellow croakers;

[0018] Step S3, first round of screening: quickly and rapidly remove the partition (6) by pulling a rope, start playing sound, play the audio file through the underwater speaker (3), set the playing parameters according to actual conditions, and set the playing time to the required time; screen the large yellow croaker according to the behavioral changes and the area where the large yellow croaker is located after the stimulation ends, screen the large yellow croaker N1 with the most violent reaction and located in the C area farthest from the partition as the intolerant individual, and screen the large yellow croaker N2 with the smallest reaction and located in the A area closest to the partition as the tolerant individual; the screened tolerant individuals and intolerant individuals are transferred to the resting tank (14) for resting, and the status of the large yellow croaker is observed and recorded by the underwater temperature and depth sensing monitor (15);

[0019] Step S4, after the remaining 45 large yellow croakers are placed in the noise stress tolerance screening test water tank (4) to recover for a required period of time, they are slowly driven to the temporary rearing area (5) and the partition (6) is lowered. After the remaining 45 large yellow croakers are allowed to recover for a required period of time, the partition is pulled out to carry out a second round of screening;

[0020] Step S5, second round of screening: start the sound playback, the audio file is played through the underwater speaker (3), when the sound playback parameters are set, the frequency remains unchanged, the sound pressure level is increased compared with the first round of screening, and the playback time is set to a preset time; according to the behavioral changes of the yellow croaker and the area where the stimulation is completed, the yellow croaker N3 tails in the C area with the most intense reaction are screened out as intolerant individuals, and the yellow croaker N4 tails in the A area with the smallest reaction are screened out as tolerant individuals; the tolerant individuals and intolerant individuals screened out are transferred to the resting tank (14) for resting, and the status of the yellow croaker is observed and recorded by the underwater temperature and depth monitor (15). Step S6, after the remaining yellow croakers have recovered for the preset time in the noise stress tolerance test tank (4), they are slowly driven to the temporary holding area (5) and the partition (6) is lowered.

[0024] When the behavior monitoring system analyzes the state change of the large yellow croaker under noise stimulation, the method evaluates the large yellow croaker by the swimming speed of the large yellow croaker in the camera image of the monitor, calculates the actual movement displacement distance and swimming speed of the large yellow croaker in the device by the behavior analysis of the high-definition camera (9) and the image processing technology, and monitors the state difference of the large yellow croaker in the three static water tanks (14) according to the underwater temperature and depth sensing monitor (15), so as to further verify the accuracy of the screening; specifically,

The sound stimulation audio synthesis module can generate audio files with specific waveforms, specific sound pressure levels and frequencies through function generators and power amplifiers, and can also play files such as ship noise and underwater noise during the operation of offshore wind farms. Specific audio files are played directionally through underwater speakers to stimulate the screening of target individuals of large yellow croaker.

[0087] like Figure 2 As shown: the device includes a power amplifier 1, which is connected to a function generator 2 via a data transmission line, and is also connected to a computer and an underwater speaker 3.

[0088] The screening noise stress resistance experiment water tank 4 is divided into two parts, a temporary holding area 5 and a behavioral screening area 7. The entire bottom of the water tank is equipped with a shockproof and sound-absorbing pad 8. The underwater speaker is attached to and fixed to the water tank wall of the screening noise stress resistance experiment water tank 4. There is a movable partition 6 between the temporary holding area 5 and the behavioral screening area 7, and the partition 6 can be freely taken out.

[0089] There are area dividers and letter logos 11 at the bottom of the behavior screening area 7. A hydrophone 10 is fixed in the center of each area in the behavior screening area 7, and a high-definition camera 9 is fixed directly above the behavior screening area 7. The screening noise stress resistance experimental water tank 4 is connected to the resting water tank 14 through a silencer pipe 13. The silencer pipe 13 is equipped with a control water valve 12. The control water valve 12 needs to be closed when the noise stress begins. The bottom of the resting water tank 14 is equipped with a shockproof and sound-absorbing pad 17 made of the same material as the shockproof and sound-absorbing pad 8, and the side wall of the resting water tank 14 is equipped with a sound-absorbing cotton 16 with a thickness of 5 cm. Each of the resting water tanks 14 is equipped with an underwater temperature and depth monitor 15.

[0090] The static water tank 14 is connected to a constant temperature water tank 18 , in which a temperature sensing control switch 19 is fixed, and the temperature sensing control switch 19 is connected to a heating rod 20 for controlling the water temperature of the entire device.

During the temporary rearing process, the control water valve 12, the constant temperature water tank 18, the temperature sensing control switch 19, the heating rod 20 and the circulating water system 20 are all in an open state to ensure that the device can provide suitable environmental conditions for the large yellow croaker.

[0094] Before the noise stress begins, the circulating water system 21 and the control water valve 12 need to be closed to prevent the background noise from affecting the state of the large yellow croaker. After the circulating water system 21 and the control water valve 12 are closed, the sound release parameters are set according to the auditory characteristics of the large yellow croaker and the stimulation requirements to ensure that the power amplifier (1), the function generator 2 and the underwater speaker 3 function normally. The hydrophone 10 and the high-definition camera 9 are turned on to monitor the underwater noise and video changes in the noise stress tolerance screening experiment tank 4.

The early sound release parameters are also calibrated after the data collected by the hydrophone 10 is analyzed and processed.
