Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of kelp seedling cultivation, in particular to a kelp seedling cultivation method with simple method, good cultivation effect and low seedling breakage rate. Background Art

[0002] As we all know, kelp is an important marine aquaculture algae in my country, with an annual output of up to 1.5 million tons. As a high-value marine food, kelp is rich in a variety of minerals and nutrients, and is widely used in food processing, industrial and medicinal applications. The kelp farming industry has brought considerable economic benefits, created a large number of employment opportunities in coastal areas, and further promoted international trade and economic development by exporting kelp processed products. Moreover, kelp can absorb nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus in the water, which helps to alleviate the problem of eutrophication of seawater. At the same time, its carbon fixation ability can also effectively reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and plays an important role in the protection of the marine ecological environment. In addition, kelp can also absorb nutrient pollution caused by terrestrial fertilizers, prevent the occurrence of algal blooms, and protect marine biodiversity.

[0003] During the kelp farming process, kelp will experience varying degrees of seedling drop. Taking the Sanggou Bay farming area, an important kelp farming area in my country, as an example, when clamping seedlings, the farming workers generally clamp 30-35 seedlings / 2.3m rope, but when harvesting kelp, there are only 20-25 seedlings left on the 2.3m rope, and in some high areas (water depth close to 30m), there are less than 10 kelp left on 1 rope. The above situation is also one of the most important factors limiting the deep-sea farming of kelp. The main reasons for seedling drop are: ① The kelp rhizoids are underdeveloped and not tightly attached to the seedling rope; ② The kelp rhizoids are well developed, but not attached to the roots, commonly known as "not grabbing the rope"; ③ The kelp rhizoids are too fragile and easily broken under the action of wind, waves and currents. Summary of the invention

(2) Cultivation in the sea: The seedlings selected in step (1) are taken out from the seedling raising rack and placed in the sea for growth. The kelp is cultivated in the sea for 0.8-1.2 months. When the kelp grows to 20 cm in length, the kelp is removed; (3) Breaking force detection and screening formula: the kelp seedlings cultivated in step (2) are placed in a kelp parameter detection device for detection, and the width, thickness and stalk average of each kelp are scanned and measured by a laser scanner, and the data are recorded.

Then, 10 cm of the kelp obtained in step (2) is cut off with the kelp rhizoids retained, and then the broken kelp with each recorded number data is tested for breaking force using a breaking force device, and the maximum force of each kelp breaking is recorded. After the recording is completed, the breaking force, kelp width, kelp thickness and stalk average of the kelp are compared, and 200 kelp seedlings are screened out, and a formula for the relationship between breaking force and kelp width, kelp thickness and stalk average is generated according to the linear regression fitting curve; (ii) Seedling cultivation: (4) Screening seedlings by water flow: 10,000 kelp seedlings are planted on a seedling curtain rope, which is on a seedling raising rack. A water outlet pipe is installed on the seedling raising rack. The water outlet pipe is provided with a water outlet hole, which faces the seedling curtain rope.

Finally, 10%, i.e., 1,000 seedlings, are left on the 60th day. (5) Cultivation in the sea: The 1000 seedlings selected in step (4) are taken out from the seedling raising rack and placed in the sea for growth. The kelp is cultivated in the sea for 0.8-1.2 months. When the kelp grows to 20 cm in length, the kelp is removed; (6) Screening seedlings: Place the 1000 kelp seedlings cultivated in step (5) in a kelp parameter detection device for detection, scan and measure the algae width, algae thickness, and stalk average of each kelp with a laser scanner, and record the data. The formula for the relationship between the breaking force and the algae width, algae thickness, and stalk average obtained in step (3) is used; the algae width, algae thickness, and stalk average of each kelp are input respectively, and finally 200 kelp seedlings are screened out; (7) Raising kelp seedlings in the sea and growing them with weights: The 200 kelp seedlings selected in step (6) are cultured in a clamped manner. Before being placed in the sea, a weight is placed around the neck of the kelp seedlings. As the kelp grows, the weight of the weight is gradually increased.

[0023] The weight of the above-mentioned counterweight blocks is 50% of the weight of a single kelp. For example, if the kelp is cultivated for four months, the first month, second month, third month and fourth month are 0.25kg, 0.5kg, 1.25kg and 1.5kg respectively. This is because, for the same batch of culture, the heaviest is 40% higher than the lightest on average. The weight gain data is calculated based on the growth curve of kelp culture in Sanggou Bay.

[0024] SPSS 26 software was used to perform multiple linear regression, and the calculation method was stepwise. This method can remove redundant, interfering, and repeated data and obtain the minimum credible parameter representing the breaking force. Therefore, the formula in step (3) is: kelp breaking force = -7.055 + 1.448 * algae width (cm) + 9.041 * algae thickness (mm) + 1.553 * stalk mean (mm).

[0025] By adopting the above-mentioned seedling raising method, since the kelp broken in step (8) can also be used for seedling raising, the kelp grown after the seedling raising has the advantages of tougher algae and more developed rhizoids, thereby reducing the seedling drop rate during the breeding period, saving seedlings, and being suitable for breeding in areas with higher winds and waves. According to preliminary statistics, after one generation of screening using this method, the seedling drop rate of the offspring kelp is reduced by 5-10%. Due to the adoption of the above-mentioned structure, the present invention has the advantages of simple method, good breeding effect, low seedling breakage rate, low seedling drop rate, etc.
