Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention discloses a device for conducting fish drive experiment, specifically a device for analyzing the reaction of fish to different physiological stimuli by placing fish in different tropism characteristic environments, and belongs to the field of fish behavior research in fishway engineering. Background Art
[0002] Fish tropism refers to the directional behavior of an animal in response to a unidirectional environmental stimulus. Examples include fish's movement toward light (positive phototaxis) or away from light (negative phototaxis), their tendency to flow, their ability to maintain a fixed target, and their tendency to avoid odors or highly oxygenated water. Tropism is a stereotyped response and the simplest form of instinctive behavior. While fish foraging behavior is also a directional behavior, this complex foraging behavior is heavily learned and therefore not considered a tropism.
[0003] CN114223583A discloses an interactive test method and detection system for simultaneously testing the phototaxis and rheotaxis of fish. The method includes the following steps: directing water flow into two test channels and then into a confluence area; guiding fish implanted with PIT markers in the confluence area to swim toward the test channels; placing different light sources above the test channels; and placing inductive antenna coils at both ends of the channels. Fish are placed in the confluence area. In a dark environment, the light sources are turned on to generate water flow. The PIT signals generated by the same PIT marker are recorded over time, and the percentage of time the fish spend in each test channel is recorded. The light sources are then swapped and the above steps repeated. Data on the phototaxis and rheotaxis of different fish can be analyzed.
[0004] CN205848361U An experimental device for studying the phototaxis of fish. This utility model discloses an experimental device for studying the phototaxis of fish. It includes a water tank, which is divided into two channels by a baffle. A plurality of underwater illuminometers are arranged at equal intervals at the bottom of one channel. The other channel is a fish passage. A light source device is provided on the left end face of the water tank. All inner walls of the water tank not close to the light source device are covered with black cloth. Marking tapes are provided at equal intervals at the bottom of the water tank. A plurality of support frames are provided on the side of the water tank along the direction of fish passage. An infrared camera is fixedly installed at the end of the horizontal arm of the support frame. The infrared camera is arranged directly above the water tank. The device can study the phototaxis of fish. According to the preferences of different fish for different light colors and the most suitable illumination range, it can provide valuable reference for light-induced fish driving to achieve safe fish crossing dam technology.
[0005] CN206895569U Fish phototaxis measurement device, which discloses a fish phototaxis measurement device, including an experimental water tank (1), characterized in that: one end of the experimental water tank (1) is movably inserted with a baffle (2), and the baffle (2) divides the experimental water tank (1) into a temporary storage chamber (3) and a measurement chamber (4). Multiple parallel dividing lines (5) are drawn at the bottom of the measurement chamber (4). One end of the measurement chamber (4) is provided with an organic glass plate (6), which is connected to a cylindrical light-shielding cover (7). The other end of the light-shielding cover (7) is connected to a lamp cover (8), and a light source (9) is arranged inside the lamp cover (8). The light source (9) is connected to a power supply through a dimming switch (10). A camera (11) is arranged above the experimental water tank (1). Except for the organic glass plate (6), other parts of the experimental water tank (1) are black, and the baffle (2) is also black.
[0006] CN210157860U discloses a fish phototaxis test fish tank. The utility model relates to the technical field of fish tanks, including a feeding tank, a transition tank and a living tank connected in sequence. The feeding tank and the living tank are water tanks, and the transition tank is a waterless tank; the feeding tank and the living tank are connected through a transition pipe in the transition tank. The front and rear sides of the transition tank and its connection with the living tank are light-tight tank walls; a feed box is arranged inside the feeding tank. The feed box is located at the opening of the transition pipe in the feeding tank and is fixed to the top of the feeding tank through a bracket at the upper end. The bait box has holes matching the bait. This device has two independent spaces for observing organisms. There is a channel between the two spaces, and the light on-off in each space will not affect the illuminance intensity of the other space, thus realizing the indoor observation of fish phototaxis, enabling scientific researchers and science popularization educators to conduct fish phototaxis teaching research safely, without being restricted by time, region and natural environment.
[0007] The above-mentioned prior arts are the closest prior arts to this application. Generally speaking, the above prior arts all have two common defects:

In order to maintain the ecological characteristics to the greatest extent and provide a continuous and unbroken connection corridor for upstream migratory fish, the fish passage objects are Schizothorax longibarbus and Schizothorax labrosus, which are collectively referred to as schizothorax fish in this embodiment.
[0040] An experimental device for discriminating fish tropism includes: a water tank experiment part, a water tank control part, and a camera recording device;
[0041] The above-mentioned water tank experiment part includes: branch water tank 1, annular central pool 2, central guide gate 3, rotating blade 15, fish screen 16, and the branch water tank 1 is arranged axially symmetrically around the annular central pool 2;
[0042] The above-mentioned water tank control part includes: water inlet pipe 4, water stabilizing weir 5, tail gate 6, drain pipe 7, return water tank 8, upper reservoir 9, return water pump 10, upper water pipe 11, overflow tank 12, water supply pipe 13;
[0043] There are four of the above-mentioned branch water tanks 1, arranged in a "cross" shape, spaced 90° from each other, and the four branch water tanks 1 respectively point to the east, south, west, and north; the head end of each branch water tank 1 is connected with a water inlet pipe 4 and a water stabilizing weir 5, and the downstream is connected with a tail gate 6, and the tail end of the tail gate is connected to the annular central pool 2;
[0044] The bottom of the annular central pool is connected with a drain pipe 7, the drain pipe 7 is connected with a return water tank, the end of the return water tank 8 is connected with a return water pump 10, the return water pump 10 is connected with an upper water pipe 11, the upper water pipe 11 is connected with an upper reservoir 9, an overflow tank is installed in the upper reservoir 9, the upper reservoir 9 is connected with a water supply pipe 13, the overflow part of the overflow tank 12 is connected with a return water pipe 14, the return water pipe 14 is connected with the return water tank 8, and the water supply pipe 13 is connected with the water inlet pipe 4;
[0045] A valve is provided on the water inlet pipe 4 to control the flow rate.
[0046] The above-mentioned camera recording device includes: a top camera C1, an orthogonal calibration grid; the orthogonal calibration grid is a white bottom plate with a black square grid drawn on it, and the side length of each grid is 2-5 cm;
[0047] Before the experiment, place the orthogonal calibration grid in the experimental part of the water tank. Use the top camera C1 to take pictures to calibrate the position of the water tank plane corresponding to the camera image.
[0048] When conducting the experiment, fill the return water tank 8 with water, turn on the return water pump 10, and the water in the return water tank 8 is pumped into the upper reservoir 9. When the water level is too high, the water overflows through the overflow tank 12, and the overflowed water enters the return water pipe 14 and returns to the return water tank 8; the non-overflowed water enters the water supply pipe 13, then enters the water inlet pipe 4, passes through the valve and enters the water stabilizer weir 5, then flows through the branch water tank 1, the tail gate 5, enters the annular central pool 2, flows into the drain pipe 7 through the central guide gate 3, and then enters the return water tank 8 to complete the entire process.

Release different flow rates in the 4 branch water tanks 1, and adjust the angle of the rotor 15 and the angle of the tail gate 6 so that a clockwise vortex is formed at the drain pipe 7. At this time, when the fish swim upstream against the current, they swim to the left, but will be affected by the Coriolis force that deflects to the right, and the experimental object will consume more energy.

Judge which flow rate the fish prefer by the number of fish entering different branch water tanks.
[0053] In this experiment, the following record table is obtained. Therefore, it can be known that 0.6 m / s is the tropotactic flow rate of Schizothorax grahami.
