Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of ocean fishing, and particularly relates to a system for trapping Tilapia zillii based on light and bait and an operation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Tilapia zillii, also known as red-bellied tilapia, is native to Africa and the Middle East and is a fish of the genus Tilapia in the family Cichlidae of the order Perciformes; its pharyngeal abdomen is often red, with 6-8 longitudinal stripes on the body side, and there is a black spot behind the dorsal fin. In 1978, it was introduced into China from Thailand for aquaculture needs and was once cultured in many southern provinces. Later, due to its slow growth and low economic value, it was gradually abandoned. Tilapia zillii is fierce in temperament, has a strong territorial awareness, has a wide range of feeding habits, and has a high reproductive capacity. It competes with native fish for food and habitat resources, threatening the normal operation of the native ecosystem. Tilapia zillii has quickly adapted to the local environment by virtue of its ecological adaptability and has now become a common species in most water bodies in southern Chinese provinces and has a tendency to expand northward. There is an urgent need for a green and efficient method to control Tilapia zillii.

[0003] Currently, physical fishing or chemical poisoning methods are generally used to control the population of Tilapia zillii in waters. The former has a relatively high labor intensity, while the latter will have an adverse impact on other aquatic organisms. Among the existing patents for trapping Tilapia zillii, the main ones are attractant baits and trapping nets, and there is no invention using other methods to trap Tilapia zillii.

[0004] The phototaxis of fish is the directional movement of fish in response to light stimulation. The spectral composition is an important factor affecting the phototactic behavior of fish. Different colors of light will cause three different types of behavioral responses in fish: positive phototaxis, negative phototaxis, and no response to light. [i] . Silver carp (Hypophthalmicht hys molitrix) prefers white light and blue light more [ii] . The phototaxis rate of common carp (Cyprinuscarpio) is in the order of white light > red light > blue light > green light, and among them, common carp has a higher preference for white light [iii] . Japanese seabass (Lateolabrax japonicus) prefers red light (625-740nm) more [iv] .

[0005] It can be seen that fish have different behavioral responses to different colored lights. We studied the phototactic behavior of Tilapia zillii towards different colored lights (full-color light, red light, yellow light, green light, blue light) in order to screen out the most suitable light color for trapping.

[0022] An operation method of a system for trapping Oreochromis niloticus by combining light and bait specifically includes the following steps:

[0023] (1) Select hardware facilities: Select a cylindrical fishing cage and a waterproof LED light that emits yellow light;

[0024] (2) Arrange the software control part:

[0025] Sub-module prototype production: Respectively produce an LED yellow light module, an LED drive circuit module, a timing control module, a battery pack and BMS design module, a PCB and wiring design module, and a circuit and interface module, and debug the functions of each module in an indoor environment;

[0026] System integration: Install each module in a pre-designed waterproof housing, complete wiring, sealing treatment, and installation of the heat dissipation structure, and confirm that all waterproof interfaces, heat dissipation channels, and battery compartments are sealed in accordance with the design requirements;

[0027] Functional debugging: Run the timing program to verify whether the waterproof LED light works according to the cycle of lighting for 2 hours and turning off for 1 hour; Debug the functions of the local buttons and the display screen to ensure normal parameter setting and status feedback; Conduct long-term endurance and waterproof tests on the overall system to verify the stability and safety of the system;

[0028] (3) Start the trapping operation:

[0029] Start the light at dusk or at night, use the light to attract Oreochromis niloticus to gather, pay attention to the movement of the fish school under the light. When it is found that a large number of fish schools gather near the light source, it indicates that the fish attracting effect is good. To maintain the fish attracting effect of the light, avoid the fish school from developing adaptability to the continuous light source and maintain a high attracting effect, an intermittent lighting fishing strategy is adopted.

[0030] Preferably, the trapping operation is selected at dusk or at night, the cage is placed in the bottom sediment of sand and silt, the water depth is 2 - 4m, the water temperature is above 20°C, and the water area is far from noise to obtain a better trapping effect.

[0031] Technical principle of the present invention: When an ordinary cage is used, generally no lights or baits with attracting effects are placed. Usually, it takes a longer time to gather fish, the fishing cycle is long and the catch is not specific. Therefore, according to the phototactic behavior of Oreochromis niloticus, through experimental screening, it is found that the colored light with strong attracting power to Oreochromis niloticus is yellow light. By comparing the phototactic behaviors of Oreochromis niloticus to different colored lights, the present invention uses yellow light as the trapping light, combines the light, bait and trapping netting gear, and traps Oreochromis niloticus mainly with light and supplemented by bait. The present invention makes the following adjustments to the structure of the trapping netting gear: Increase the size of the cage; Increase the diameter of the fish inlet and add an anti-escape design for the fish inlet; The cage is designed with a double layer. The upper layer attracts Oreochromis niloticus through the light, and the lower layer is provided with a bait bag to gather Oreochromis niloticus.

[0032] Beneficial effects:

[0033] A system for trapping Oreochromis niloticus based on light and bait and its operation method according to the present invention can increase the probability of Oreochromis niloticus entering the cage and improve the trapping efficiency through the above improvements to the trapping netting gear, which is specifically manifested in the following aspects:

[0034] (1) The double-layer design of the cage not only increases the difficulty of fish escaping, but also can increase the accommodation space for fish, realizing efficient trapping;

[0035] (2) Increase the fish inlet and add a flexible plastic sheet at the end of the fish inlet, which can enable larger-sized Oreochromis niloticus to enter the cage and effectively prevent escape;

[0036] (3) The upper layer uses lights to attract *Tilapia zillii*, and the attraction of lights in the dark is often stronger than other trapping methods.

[0037] (4) The lower layer adds a bait bag design, which can effectively induce the fish entering the upper layer to gather in the lower layer, so as to prevent the fish from gathering in the upper layer and affecting the entry of subsequent fish; at the same time, the bait bag is equipped with [bait], and the trapping efficiency is improved through bait trapping.

[0038] (5) The present invention has the advantages of high power, long battery life, portability, and timing control. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0039] Figure 1 It is a schematic structural diagram of a system for trapping *Tilapia zillii* in an embodiment of the present invention.

[0040] Figure 2 It is a schematic structural diagram of an experimental device for the phototaxis of *Tilapia zillii* in the present invention.

[0041] Figure 3 It is a schematic diagram of the phototaxis index of *Tilapia zillii* under different light colors at a light intensity of 1000 lx in the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0042] The following will describe in detail the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the drawings: This embodiment is implemented on the premise of the technical solution of the present invention, and detailed implementation methods and specific operation processes are given, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0043] As Figure 1 shown, for the hardware facilities, the overall selection of the cage is cylindrical, divided into upper and lower layers. The upper layer is called the upper cage 1, and the lower layer is called the lower cage 5. The cage is cylindrical, with a diameter of 2 m and a height of 1 m; the upper cage 1 has a height of 0.4 m, and the lower cage 5 has a height of 0.6 m. The frame of the cage uses stainless steel wire, and nylon is used around to ensure stability and corrosion resistance during long-term use in water.

[0044] The top surface border of the upper cage 1 is filled with foam filler 3, so that the upper cage 1 floats slightly in the water. The upper cage 1 and the lower cage 5 are separated by nylon, and each has an independent space. The mesh size of the nylon is 5 mm, so that fish are not easy to escape, and other aquatic organisms can pass through.

[0045] The upper ground cage 1 is provided with several waterproof LED lights 4. A number of funnel-shaped fish inlet openings 2 are opened on the side and top of the upper ground cage 1. The width of the funnel-shaped fish inlet opening 2 is 15 cm. A flexible plastic sheet 9 is installed at the end of the inlet of the funnel-shaped fish inlet opening 2. Once the Tilapia zillii enters the ground cage, it is difficult to escape. There is also a funnel-shaped fish inlet opening 2 between the upper ground cage 1 and the lower ground cage 5 of the ground cage. After the fish are attracted by the light and enter the ground cage, they are attracted by the bait bag 6 suspended below, and thus enter the lower ground cage 5 through the funnel-shaped fish inlet opening 2 at the internal connection channel and gather in the lower ground cage 5.

[0046] The bait bag 6 is filled with a special bait. The mass percentage of the bait is 20% silkworm pupa powder, 20% acetes powder, 20% earthworm powder, 12% wheat germ powder, 11% flaky algal powder, 10% snowflake powder, 5% gluten powder, 2% vanillin, and the rest is clear water. A plurality of lead blocks 8 are sewn on the bottom frame of the lower ground cage 5, which can fully expand the ground cage and keep it stable underwater. A vertical zipper 7 is sewn on the lower ground cage 5 for convenient dumping of the catch.

[0047] Verify that yellow light is suitable as the best light color for trapping Tilapia zillii:

[0048] 1. Prepare the experimental container:

[0049] Use a white plastic container with a specification of 2m * 1m * 1m. Starting from the light source end, it is equally divided into 4 regions along the length direction: the near-light region L1 (0 - 50 cm), the transition region L2 (50 - 100 cm), the far-light region L3 (100 - 150 cm), and the dark region L4 (150 - 200 cm). The water depth in the box is about 40 cm.

[0050] 2. Adjust the experimental light source:

[0051] An adjustable-brightness LED lamp tube (220V, 200W), with a length of about 100 cm, is set at a position slightly above the middle on the narrow side wall of the white plastic container, which can ensure that the light can be evenly distributed in the white plastic container.

[0052] 3. Observe the experimental device:

[0053] An Apple mobile phone and a mobile phone stand. The Apple mobile phone is turned on with the video recording function and set at a position obliquely above the middle of the wide side of the white plastic container. Record the distribution quantity of Tilapia zillii in the 4 light regions of the white plastic container. As Figure 1 shown.

[0054] 4. Settings of different colored lights:

[0055] Changing the light color by covering a film on the LED tube actually involves selecting lights of different wavelength bands. Among them, blue light: 450 - 480 nm, green light: 500 nm - 560 nm, yellow light: 580 nm - 595 nm, red light: 610 - 730 nm. The full-color light is the color of the LED light without covering the film. In addition, the instruments used in the experiment also include an illuminometer, heating equipment (heating rods) 10000 w * 2, temperature sensors * 2, etc.

[0056] 5 Experimental procedure:

[0057] A total of 30 tilapia zillii were collected using a fish trap downstream of a certain reservoir. Two weeks before the experiment, the fish were temporarily raised in a recirculating aquaculture pond, maintaining natural light and ensuring that the water quality had no abnormal indicators. To avoid the influence of natural light and other environmental factors on the life cycle of the fish, all experiments were carried out under dark conditions.

[0058] Randomly fish out 20 tilapia zillii and put them into a white plastic container, place an aeration device, and dark adapt for 1 day. Before the start of the experiment, adjust the position of the Apple mobile phone and turn on the camera mode. The experiment uniformly uses red, yellow, blue, and green lights with a light intensity of 1000 lx. The experimental sequence alternates according to the wavelength difference to ensure that the experimental phenomena are more obvious and observable. Before the start of the experiment, cover the incandescent lamp with a color film, and use a partition to block the fish in the last area (dark area) far from the light source. Turn on the light source, place the illuminometer close to the light source in the white plastic container, measure the light source illuminance as 1000 lx, remove the partition, and observe the phototactic behavior of tilapia zillii through the recording of the camera function. Count the distribution number of tilapia zillii in 4 areas every 3 minutes, and repeat the count 3 times. After the statistics, adjust different films, in turn blue, yellow, green (ensuring the alternation of light colors with high and low wavelength bands to enhance the difference of the experiment), and dark place for 10 minutes after each experiment with colored light. Observe the phototactic behavior of tilapia zillii and count the distribution number of tilapia zillii in 4 areas

[0059] 6 Data statistics:

[0060] Refer to Yuan et al. [v] and Shen Yunxia et al. [vi] Adopt the statistical method, define the phototaxis index: Ip = (L1 - L4) / (L1 + L2 + L3 + L4), and the change value is between [-1, 1], where L1, L2, L3, L4 represent the distribution number of a group of tilapia zillii in this area (near-light area L1, transition area L2, far-light area L3, and dark area L4). When Ip is positive, it indicates positive phototaxis, and when it is negative, it indicates negative phototaxis or loss of phototaxis.

[0061] 7 Analysis of experimental results:

[0062] It has been observed that the light-stimulus responses of Oreochromis niloticus vary greatly under various colored lights with an intensity of 1000 lx. Under the illumination of full-color light with an intensity of 1000 lx, the phototactic behavior of Oreochromis niloticus is obvious, and Oreochromis niloticus rarely appears in the dark area. Under the illumination of red light with an intensity of 1000 lx, Oreochromis niloticus initially shows curiosity. As time goes by, Oreochromis niloticus congregates in areas farther from the light source, and the light-avoiding behavior is obvious. Under the illumination of yellow light with an intensity of 1000 lx, Oreochromis niloticus initially shows a transformation from panic to curiosity. As time goes by, instead of showing a similar behavior to that under red light, the fish mostly gather in the transition area, and the number of Oreochromis niloticus in the near-light area is also the largest among all colors, showing an overall phototactic characteristic. Under the illumination of blue light with an intensity of 1000 lx, the behavior of Oreochromis niloticus is basically the same as that under red light illumination, showing a light-avoiding characteristic. Under the illumination of green light with an intensity of 1000 lx, Oreochromis niloticus initially shows panic, and very few fish swim in the near-light area, and finally most of them gather in the far-light area. The phenomenon indicates that the light-avoiding property of Oreochromis niloticus towards blue light is very obvious. Therefore, the phototactic rates of Oreochromis niloticus are in the order of yellow light > full-color light > red light > blue light > green light. As Figure 2 shown. It can be known through experiments that yellow light is suitable as the trapping light color.
