Through technical means such as water quality management, nutrition supply and disease control, aquaculture improves the yield and quality of aquatic products, and alleviates the pressure on natural water resources caused by overfishing.

[0086] Aquaculture is an agricultural activity that breeds fish in a controlled environment to meet market demand, widely used in global aquatic product supply chain, promoting the sustainable development of the industry. However, the traditional manual feeding method has problems such as low efficiency, feed waste and uneven feeding, which restricts the development of large-scale and automation. By introducing an intelligent automatic feeding system, the feeding amount and frequency can be accurately controlled, which can significantly improve the breeding efficiency and economic benefits, and help the aquaculture industry to achieve efficient and sustainable development.
[0087] The embodiment discloses an automatic feeding method for aquaculture, referring to Figure 1 , comprising the following steps S110-S140:
[0088] The automatic feeding method for aquaculture disclosed by the embodiment of the present application is applied to the controller 201 of the automatic feeding device, referring to Figure 2 , the automatic feeding device further comprises a storage bin 202, a discharger 203, a feeding head 204, a distributor 205, an accelerator 206 and a vortex fan 207, and the controller 201 is arranged in the control cabinet and can automatically / manual control the operation of the electrical elements of each part of the automatic feeding machine. Among them, the controller 201 is connected with the discharger 203, the distributor 205, the accelerator 206 and the vortex fan 207, the storage bin 202 is used for storing breeding feed, the discharger 203 is used for discharging the breeding feed in the storage bin 202 to the feeding head 204, the vortex fan 207 is used for blowing air to the accelerator 206, the accelerator 206 accelerates the airflow in the pipe by changing the pipe diameter, the feeding head 204 mixes the breeding feed with the airflow in the pipe to spray the breeding feed into powder particles, and the powder particles of the breeding feed are transported to the distributor 205, and the distributor 205 is used for transporting the powder particles of the breeding feed from the feeding port to the breeding pond.
[0089] Referring to Figure 3The mode control switch is adjusted to the ration feeding mode, and each corresponding hole of the culture pond is inputted with the timing time, the environmental parameters of the culture pond, and the fish fry related parameters and other parameters in the parameter setting page. After confirming that the parameters are correct, the main page is returned, and the "automatic feeding" is clicked. The vortex fan 207 is started, and after reaching the preset fan advance time, the unloader 203 starts working. The distributor 205 sends the feed into the corresponding culture pond pipe interface according to the preset positioning time, and after a single feeding is completed, the unloader 203 stops working. After reaching the preset fan delay time, the vortex fan 207 stops working, and the single feeding is completed. The control switch is turned to the automatic mode, and the automatic feeder will complete the feeding work of multiple culture ponds according to the preset culture pond feeding quantity parameters.
[0090] S110, the type and quantity of fish fry in each culture pond are obtained.
[0091] In the automatic feeding system for aquaculture, accurately obtaining the type and quantity of fish fry in each culture pond is the basis for realizing precise feed feeding. The type of fish fry includes fish population, average age of fish population, average weight of fish population, etc. In the parameter setting page of the automatic feeder, the administrator inputs the corresponding parameters into the controller 201, so that the controller 201 obtains the type and quantity of fish fry in each culture pond.
[0092] S120, based on the type of fish fry, the target particle characteristics of the culture feed are determined, and based on the quantity of fish fry, the target feeding quantity of the culture feed is determined.
[0093] In a possible implementation, based on the type of fish fry, the target particle characteristics of the culture feed are determined, specifically including: defining input parameters based on the type of fish fry, the input parameters including fish population, average age of fish population, and average weight of fish population; defining output parameters based on the target particle characteristics, the output parameters including target density; forming an initial reference formula based on historical aquaculture experience, the initial reference formula being used to quantify the linear relationship between the input parameters and the output parameters; obtaining input values corresponding to the input parameters based on the growth cycle of fish fry in the culture pond; and substituting the input values into the initial reference formula to calculate output values corresponding to the output parameters, so as to obtain the target particle characteristics.
[0094] Specifically, the input parameter definition and data source are obtained according to the manually inputted fish population such as grass carp, sea bass, and tilapia, the average age of the fish population in the fish fry release record or management system database, and the average individual weight of the fish population obtained by weighing record.
[0095] After starting the vortex fan 207, the vortex fan 207 can form a high-speed low-pressure air flow in the pipeline, the feeder 203 and the accelerator 206 add feed to the feed head 204 pipeline, and the feed particles are driven by the high-speed airflow to pass through the distributor 205 to different target aquaculture water areas along the designated pipeline, and are uniformly spread on the aquaculture water surface by the spreader at the end of the pipeline. The distributor 205 can switch the transport path of the feed between the pipelines leading to different aquaculture ponds, realizing one feeding system for multiple aquaculture ponds.
[0096] The controller 201 controls the pipe diameter size of the accelerator 206 and the air volume of the vortex fan 207 to spray the mixed aquaculture feed into powder particles of different densities to meet the needs of sinking, suspension or floating, and ensure the feeding effect of fish in different aquaculture ponds. Therefore, the user needs to predefine the output parameter, that is, the target density.
[0097] The controller 201 considers the influence of fish species, age and weight on particle diameter and density, designs a linear regression model based on historical aquaculture experience, establishes a formula relationship between the input parameters and the output parameters, and obtains an initial reference formula, which is as follows:
[0098] ρ=k×S a ×W b ×A c +C
[0099] Wherein, ρ is the particle density, k is the empirical coefficient of the density model, S is the fish population coefficient, which is set according to the fish type, a is the empirical coefficient corresponding to the fish population, W is the average weight of the fish population, b is the empirical coefficient corresponding to the average weight of the fish population, A is the average age of the fish population, c is the empirical coefficient corresponding to the average age of the fish population, and C is the correction parameter.
[0100] In one possible implementation, based on the number of fry, the target feeding amount of the aquaculture feed is determined, specifically including: obtaining the number of fry, the average weight of the fish population in the aquaculture pond, and the preset daily feeding rate and the feed nutrition coefficient; according to the number of fry, the average weight, the daily feeding rate and the feed nutrition coefficient, the daily feeding amount of the aquaculture pond is calculated through the empirical formula; the environmental data of the aquaculture pond is quantified to obtain the environmental factor correction parameter; and the daily feeding amount of the feed is corrected through the environmental factor correction parameter to obtain the target feeding amount.
[0101] Specifically, the number of fry in the aquaculture pond is determined by counting or estimation technology, and part of the weight data of the fry is sampled to calculate the average weight of the fish population. According to the preset of fish species and growth stage, for example, 1%-3%, which means the daily feeding amount accounts for a percentage of the total weight of the fish. The feed nutrition coefficient refers to the proportion of the nutritional ingredients of the feed, such as protein content, energy density, etc., to ensure the growth needs of the fry.
[0102] The daily feeding amount of feed is calculated by a formula established by using industry standards or historical farming data, and the empirical formula is as follows:
[0103]
[0104] wherein D is the daily feeding amount of feed, N is the number of fry (tails), W is the average weight of fry (grams), R is the daily feeding rate (%), which is dynamically adjusted according to the fish species and the growth stage of fry, P f is the target protein content of feed (%), P d is the protein content required by fish population (%), which is determined by the growth requirement of fry, C e is an environmental correction factor, which is used to correct the change in feeding caused by environmental conditions.
[0105] The daily feeding rate is the preset feed requirement ratio according to the fish species, age, weight and growth stage. Young fry have high metabolism, and the daily feeding rate is high, while adult fish have a lower daily feeding rate. The growth of fish has a clear requirement for protein. If the protein content of feed is lower than the requirement of fish population, the feeding amount needs to be increased to meet the requirement; otherwise, the feeding amount is reduced.
[0106] Then the correction parameter is applied to the calculation of the daily feeding amount of feed to obtain the target feeding amount. Specifically, the real-time environmental data of the farming pond is obtained through sensors or monitoring devices, including the water temperature affecting the metabolic rate of fish population. Low dissolved oxygen environment can reduce the feeding amount of fish population. High ammonia nitrogen concentration can inhibit growth and reduce feeding requirement. Light and water flow affect the activity and feeding behavior of fish population. The correction model based on environmental data is established through environmental data, and is specifically expressed as follows:
[0107] C e = T f · O f · N f · L f
[0108] wherein T f is the water temperature correction factor, which is determined according to the deviation of water temperature from the suitable temperature range of fish species, O f is the dissolved oxygen correction factor, which is reduced when the dissolved oxygen is insufficient, N f is the ammonia nitrogen correction factor, which is reduced when the ammonia nitrogen concentration is too high, and L f is the light and water flow correction factor, which reflects the activity of fish population.
[0109] S130, according to the target particle characteristics, controls the pipe diameter size of the accelerator 206 and the air blowing amount of the vortex blower 207, so as to make the particle characteristics of the farming feed reach the target particle characteristics.
[0110] In a possible implementation, according to the target particle characteristics, the tube diameter of the accelerator 206 and the air volume of the vortex fan 207 are controlled to reach the target particle characteristics of the breeding feed, specifically including: setting the initial tube diameter of the accelerator 206 and the initial air volume of the vortex fan 207; when the vortex fan 207 blows air to the accelerator 206 through the initial air volume and the accelerator 206 accelerates the airflow in the tube at the initial tube diameter, the initial density of the breeding feed sprayed by the distributor 205 is obtained; according to the density difference between the initial density and the target density, the tube diameter of the accelerator 206 is controlled to be reduced, and the air volume of the vortex fan 207 is controlled to be increased, or the tube diameter of the accelerator 206 is controlled to be increased, and the air volume of the vortex fan 207 is controlled to be reduced.
[0111] Specifically, the tube diameter of the accelerator 206 is set, and the initial value can be set based on experience or default, for example, to adapt to the medium density requirement. The air volume of the vortex fan 207 is set, and the initial value can be set to the middle power section of the fan to balance the airflow speed and flow.
[0112] The vortex fan 207 blows air to the accelerator 206 at the initial air volume, the accelerator 206 accelerates the airflow through the initial tube diameter, and pushes the feed particles through the tube. The feed particles are mixed with the airflow by the feed spraying head 204 and sprayed out, and then transported to the breeding pond through the distributor 205. At the outlet of the distributor 205, a sample of the sprayed feed is collected, and the particle density is measured by volume or weight.
[0113] According to the size relationship between the initial density and the target density, the current particle density is low, and the particle density needs to be increased, and vice versa. Then the tube diameter of the accelerator 206 and the air volume of the vortex fan 207 are dynamically adjusted according to the density difference between the initial density and the target density. For the particle density that is too low, the tube diameter is controlled to be smaller, the airflow channel is narrower, the airflow speed is increased, the airflow kinetic energy is increased, the feed particles are forced more strongly, and the sprayed particles are more dense. At the same time, the air volume of the vortex fan 207 is increased to increase the airflow pressure and speed and enhance the mixing and acceleration effect of the particles. For the particle density that is too high, the tube diameter is controlled to be larger, the airflow channel is wider, the airflow speed is reduced, the force on the feed particles is weakened, and the sprayed particles become loose. At the same time, the air volume of the vortex fan 207 is reduced to reduce the airflow pressure and speed. After each adjustment, the particle density of the feed at the outlet of the distributor 205 is measured again, and the tube diameter of the accelerator 206 and the air volume of the vortex fan 207 are continuously adjusted according to the new density difference until the density error meets the preset tolerance range.
[0114] S140, according to the target feeding amount, the working time of the discharger 203, the distributor 205, the accelerator 206 and the vortex fan 207 is determined to make the feeding amount of the feeding device reach the target feeding amount.
[0115] In a possible implementation, according to the target feeding amount, the working time length of the discharger 203, the distributor 205, the accelerator 206, and the vortex fan 207 is determined to make the feeding amount of the feeding device reach the target feeding amount, and specifically includes: obtaining the daily feeding times for the breeding pond; determining the single feeding amount of the breeding feed according to the target feeding amount and the daily feeding times; and calculating the working time length according to the single feeding amount and the feeding amount per unit time of the feeding head 204.
[0116] Specifically, the daily feeding times are obtained, and the daily feeding times are determined according to the growth stage and biological characteristics of the fish population. For example, the metabolic rate of juvenile fish is high, and the daily feeding times are more, usually 6-8 times. The metabolic rate of adult fish is slow, and the daily feeding times are reduced, usually 2-4 times. In summary, the feeding times can be set based on experience, or can be dynamically adjusted, such as being affected by water temperature, feeding conditions and other factors.
[0117] The daily target feeding amount is evenly distributed according to the daily feeding times to determine the feed amount of each feeding. If the target feeding amount is large, a non-uniform distribution strategy can be considered, for example, more feeding in the morning and evening, and less feeding in the middle of the day, to conform to the feeding habits of the fish population. If the fish population has strong feeding capacity in a specific time period (such as early morning or evening), the feeding amount in this period can be appropriately increased. Factors to be considered include fish activity, weather conditions, and whether there is remaining feed in the breeding pond.
[0118] The feeding head 204 of the feeding device usually has a fixed feeding capacity per unit time, for example, a certain weight of feed can be sprayed per minute. The feeding efficiency value of the feeding head 204 is obtained through device debugging or device parameter table. Combined with the actual operation of the device (such as feed particle density, air flow speed, etc.), whether the feeding amount of the feeding head 204 meets the theoretical value is tested. If there is a deviation in the actual spraying efficiency, the device parameters (such as air volume, pipe diameter) can be adjusted for correction.
[0119] Finally, the time for which the feeding head 204 needs to operate is calculated according to the feeding amount of each feeding and the feeding amount per unit time of the feeding head 204. For example, if the single feeding amount is large, the device needs to operate for a longer time; otherwise, the operation time is shorter.
[0120] In a possible implementation, after determining the target feeding amount of the breeding feed based on the quantity of fry, the method further includes: feeding the target feeding amount to the breeding pond for multiple times, and obtaining the residual amount of the breeding feed after the fish population in the breeding pond consumes the breeding feed; determining the actual consumption amount of the fish population in the breeding pond according to the target feeding amount and the residual amount each time; determining the environmental parameter of the breeding pond corresponding to each actual consumption amount; establishing a mapping relationship between the actual consumption amount and the environmental parameter; and adjusting the target feeding amount of the breeding pond to a real-time feeding amount in a subsequent feeding process, where the real-time feeding amount is the actual consumption amount obtained by the real-time environmental parameter of the breeding pond according to the mapping relationship.
[0121] Specifically, the breeding pond is fed according to the preset target feeding amount multiple times, and the feeding time, feeding amount, and related operation parameters each time are recorded. After feeding, the residual amount of the breeding feed in the breeding pond is detected by an automatic device such as an underwater camera, a feed sensor, or a manual method. The residual amount can be estimated by the weight or particle number of the sinking feed, or the feeding process of the fish population can be analyzed by using a camera to evaluate whether the feeding is sufficient.
[0122] According to the target feeding amount and the residual amount each time, the actual feeding amount of the fish population is determined. If the measurement data of the residual amount is abnormal (for example, measurement deviation caused by device failure or external interference), the abnormal data needs to be removed to ensure that the actual consumption data truly reflects the feeding behavior of the fish population.
[0123] The environmental parameters closely related to the feeding behavior of the fish population and convenient to measure are selected, such as water temperature, dissolved oxygen content, pH value, water flow speed, light intensity, and air pressure change. The environmental monitoring equipment is used to continuously record the environmental parameters of the breeding pond. After each feeding, the actual consumption amount is corresponded to the environmental parameter at that time.
[0124] The actual consumption amount of multiple feedings and the corresponding environmental parameter data are arranged into a sample set, and the relationship between the actual consumption amount of the fish population and each environmental parameter is analyzed. A mapping model of the actual consumption amount and the environmental parameter is established by a data analysis method (such as regression analysis, curve fitting, or machine learning). Different parameters may have different influence weights, for example, water temperature is usually the most significant influencing factor, and dissolved oxygen content also has an important effect on the activity and feeding amount of the fish population. More feeding data are monitored for a long time, and the mapping model is continuously optimized to ensure its accuracy and adaptability.
[0125] Before each feeding, the current real-time environmental parameters of the culture pond are collected to ensure that the parameter data reflects the actual situation. According to the real-time environmental parameters, the actual feeding amount of the fish population is predicted, i.e. the real-time feeding amount, by using the mapping model established before. The predicted real-time feeding amount is used as the target feeding amount for the new round of feeding, reducing feed waste and environmental pollution. If the real-time environmental parameters indicate that the fish population may have low feeding capacity (such as low water temperature, insufficient dissolved oxygen), the feeding amount is correspondingly reduced; otherwise, the feeding amount is appropriately increased to meet the needs of the fish population.
[0126] In a possible implementation, after determining the working time lengths of the discharger 203, the distributor 205, the accelerator 206 and the vortex fan 207 according to the target feeding amount, so that the feeding amount of the feeding device reaches the target feeding amount, the method further comprises: acquiring meteorological data of the culture pond; determining a feeding time period of the culture pond according to the meteorological data; and distributing the plurality of working time lengths according to the daily feeding times and the feeding time period, so that the automatic feeding device works in the feeding time period.
[0127] Specifically, first, the types of key meteorological data are determined, and the meteorological data related to the feeding behavior of the fish population include temperature, especially water temperature, light intensity, wind speed and direction, air pressure, and weather conditions, such as sunny, cloudy, and rain. Real-time meteorological data is obtained using a meteorological sensor or from a meteorological station around the culture farm. If conditions permit, historical data and prediction models are used to obtain meteorological data for a future period of time.
[0128] The influence of meteorology on fish feeding is analyzed. When the water temperature is within an appropriate range, usually 20-30℃, depending on the fish species, the fish population has the strongest feeding capacity. If the water temperature is too low or too high, feeding should be avoided during this time period. Fish feeding activity is strongly associated with light, and usually most active when light is moderate in the morning or evening. Strong winds, heavy rain or severe weather changes can cause water disturbance, reducing fish feeding activity, and should be avoided during feeding. Large changes in pressure can affect the fish's floating and sinking habits, and fish may reduce feeding during low pressure.
[0129] According to the real-time values and trends of the above meteorological factors, a day is divided into multiple time periods, and the feeding suitability of each time period is marked, for example: 7:00-9:00 in the morning is suitable for feeding, and 12:00-14:00 in the afternoon is not suitable for feeding.
[0130] A feeding window is defined for a suitable feeding period. For example, if the target number of daily feedings is 3, 3 suitable time windows are selected according to the weather data. According to the target number of daily feedings and the feeding time window, the amount of each feeding is allocated to the corresponding time period. If the number of daily feedings is 3 and the total target feeding amount is 3000 grams, the amount of each feeding is 1000 grams. According to the feeding amount per unit time of the spray head 204 (such as 500 grams / minute), the working time of the single feeding device is calculated to be 2 minutes.
[0131] According to the weather suitability, the single feeding time is allocated, the morning time period is allocated with more feeding amount and device working time. The noon time period reduces the feeding amount or completely avoids feeding. The afternoon time period increases the feeding amount again. Ensure that the device completes all feeding tasks in the suitable time period.
