[0002] Micropterus salmoides was introduced in the 1980s. Although artificial breeding technology has long been adopted, the breeding efficiency is still low, and the increasing aquaculture volume has a growing demand for fry. Micropterus salmoides has the characteristic of spawning in batches multiple times, and the eggs in the ovary develop asynchronously. The ovarian development has unique requirements for environmental conditions, and it is difficult to achieve synchronous and good development of each parent during the cultivation process. With the development of facility fishery, industrialized breeding and aquaculture have become a new direction. Industrialized indoor breeding can control factors such as water temperature, dissolved oxygen, transparency, and harmful organisms, providing good external conditions for breeding parents. However, in the actual operation process, due to reasons such as living and breeding habits, compared with traditional breeding ponds, the breeding rate of Micropterus salmoides indoors is very low, resulting in the vacancy of the built breeding facilities, and the spawning ponds have to return to outdoor ponds, causing some production and experiments to be unable to be carried out.

[0032] The parent collection net cage 2 is an open square structure, including a floating frame 4 at the opening and a net cage 6 below the floating frame 4; among them, a flushing trough 7 is arranged at the lower edge of the floating frame 4 on one side of the net cage 6, the trough body penetrates through the net cage 6, a water pump 3 and a flushing pipe 5 are arranged on the side opposite to the flushing trough 7, and there is a space between the flushing pipe 5 and the flushing trough 7.

[0033] The flushing trough 7 is V-shaped.

[0034] 1 / 4 to 1 / 3 of the area on one side of the spawning pond 8 is set as a blank area, serving as a spare flow creation area.

[0035] The fish nest partition 9 includes a main partition board 12 and side partition boards 13. The main partition board 12 divides the spawning pond 8 into at least one row, with a spacing of 1 - 2 m between each row. The height of the main partition board 12 is approximately 60 cm, and there is a space between both ends of the main partition board 12 and the inner wall of the spawning pond 8; the side partition boards 13 are evenly and vertically arranged on the main partition board 12. The side partition boards 13 are about 60 cm long and about 50 cm high, and the distance between adjacent side partition boards 13 is about 1.5 m, forming relatively independent rectangular spaces. The fish nests 10 are arranged in these spaces, and the height of the side partition boards 13 is lower than that of the main partition board 12.

[0036] The flowing water system 11 includes a main pipe 14 arranged outside the spawning pond 8. A main branch pipe 15 is connected to the main pipe 14, and the main branch pipe 15 is located above the main partition board 12; evenly arranged nest pipes 16 are provided on the main branch pipe 15, and the nest pipes 16 are about 50 cm above the fish nests 10; a main branch pipe valve 17 is provided between the main branch pipe 15 and the main pipe 14.

[0037] The fish nest 10 includes a base 18 and a nest cavity 19; the base 18 is a frustum-shaped structure with upper and lower openings, and is narrower at the top and wider at the bottom.

[0038] Application of the above-mentioned device in improving the indoor breeding efficiency of largemouth bass.

[0039] The application includes the following steps:

[0040] S1. Stock largemouth bass parents in the parent cultivation pond 1, with the water surface in the pond flush with the upper edge of the flushing trough 7. Set the distance between the opening of the flushing pipe 5 and the flushing trough 7 to be 40 - 50 cm to ensure that when the water pump 3 is turned on, the water in the flushing trough 7 flushes out of the net cage 6, forming a water flow; Add fresh water to the pond for 1 - 2 hours every day one week before collecting the parents, and observe the water-top phenomenon of the parents. During the breeding process of the parents, feed frozen fresh fish or commercially available feed; After the water-top phenomenon of the parents occurs, stop adding water to the pond, start feeding fresh mixed feed once a day for 3 consecutive days; Then turn on the water pump 3 to flush water and collect the parents that swim into the net cage 6;

[0041] Among them, the parents with mature gonads are sensitive to water flow stimulation and swim into the net cage 6 due to water-top. The water pump 3 is turned on from early morning and turned off at dawn;

[0042] S2. Put the number of parental pairs collected in S1 into the spawning pond 8 at a ratio of 1 times the number of fish nests 10, add water until the water level in the spawning pond 8 exceeds the upper edge of the main dividing plate 12 by 10 cm, connect the main pipe 14 to the water source, and submerge the opening of the nest pipe 16 under the water surface. After the parents are stably dispersed, add water to the spawning pond 8 in the evening of the same day until the water level exceeds the upper edge of the main dividing plate 12 by 30 cm. At night, turn on the flowing water system 11, adjust the main branch valve 17 so that the water flow out of the nest pipe 16 is a micro-flow when it reaches the bottom of the nest cavity 19. Combining the blocking effect of the nest pieces and the water permeability of the water permeable holes 20, the semen of the male fish diffuses downward sufficiently and fertilizes the eggs on the nest pieces, preventing the semen from escaping upward and affecting the fertilization rate. In the morning of the next day, collect the nest cavities 19 carrying fertilized eggs for hatching, and replace the new nest cavities 19 on the base 18 to continue collecting fertilized eggs. Turn off the flowing water system 11 in the afternoon and restart it at night, and repeat the operation until the reproduction rate of the parents reaches more than 40%.

[0043] Among them, during hatching, invert the nest cavity 19 in the hatching pond and stack it in a single layer or multiple layers in a staggered manner for hatching.

[0044] S3. When collecting fertilized eggs for the first time in S2, the reproduction rate is lower than 15%. Create a water flow in the blank area of the spawning pond 8 to form a micro-flow and a splashing sound in the spawning pond 8. Among them, the water flow creation is carried out in the first half of the night.

[0045] The fresh mixed feed is prepared by the following method: Pulverize the fresh testes or ovaries of fresh four major domestic fishes or carps, mix the pulp with commercially available feed at a mass ratio of 1:10, and air-dry until not sticky, and the air-drying time is less than 30 minutes.

[0046] Example 2

[0047] The difference from Example 1 is that the flushing trough 7 is U-shaped, and the number of parental pairs is 1.2 times the number of fish nests 10. In this example, the reproduction rate of collecting fertilized eggs for the first time exceeds 20%, so there is no need to create a water flow in the blank area of the spawning pond 8.

[0048] The devices and their applications in the above Examples 1 and 2 can all achieve the effect that the reproduction rate exceeds 40%, which is significantly improved compared with the prior art.
