[0026] like Figure 1As shown, the utility model provides a floating fish reef, comprising at least two layers of lightweight panels 1 and buoyancy balls 2, wherein the horizontally placed lightweight panels 1 are spaced apart in the height direction, and adjacent lightweight panels 1 are connected as a whole by a first connecting rope 3, so as to form a first cavity 4 for fish breeding and resting in the interval area between the adjacent lightweight panels 1, and at least one of the outer wall surfaces of the first cavity 4 is provided with a first passage connected to the first cavity 4, so as to facilitate the fish to enter and exit the first cavity 4, and preferably, the first passage is provided on all the outer wall surfaces of the first cavity 4 in the present application, so as to improve the light transmittance of the first cavity 4; a buoyancy ball 2 is provided on the topmost lightweight panel 1, and the sum of the buoyancy provided by all the buoyancy balls 2 is compatible with the minimum buoyancy required for the floating fish reef, wherein the minimum buoyancy required for the floating fish reef refers to the minimum buoyancy value required for the floating fish reef to be able to float and stay at a set depth below the sea level. The lightweight panel 1 located at the lower layer serves as the bottom plate of the first cavity 4 for fish breeding and resting, providing a better place for fish to build nests. The upper lightweight panel 1 can block the sunlight and provide shade for the first cavity 4 for fish breeding and resting, thereby improving the comfort of the breeding place and attracting upper-layer fish to live inside the fish reef, thereby achieving the purpose of gathering upper-layer fish.

[0027] The lightweight panel 1 can be a rectangular, square, circular, elliptical or other structure, but the light transmittance of the floating fish reef with a cubic or rectangular structure is relatively poor. For this reason, the present application arranges a lightweight panel 1 including two lightweight sub-panels 5 of the same specifications and sizes. The two lightweight sub-panels 5 cross each other to form an X-shaped lightweight panel 1, so as to further increase the light transmittance of the first cavity 4 for fish breeding and resting, and create a more comfortable activity place for fish. As a preferred embodiment of the present application, the two lightweight sub-panels 5 are perpendicular to each other to form a cross-shaped lightweight panel 1, and the lightweight sub-panels 5 constituting the lightweight panel 1 are rectangular parallelepipeds, each of which is 2m long, 1m wide and 5cm high. The lightweight sub-panels 5 are high-density polyethylene panels, and the height spacing between two adjacent layers of lightweight panels 1 is 60cm.

[0028] As a preferred embodiment of the present application, the first connecting rope 3 is a polyethylene rope, and the diameter of the polyethylene rope is 12 mm. Four buoyancy balls 2 are provided on the top of the top lightweight panel 1. The buoyancy balls 2 are connected to the top lightweight panel 1 through the polyethylene rope. Each buoyancy ball 2 can provide 30 kg of buoyancy. The number of buoyancy balls 2 can also be adaptively adjusted according to the total volume of the floating fish reef and the size of a single buoyancy ball 2.

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, the present application also provides a floating and sinking composite fish reef, including the above-mentioned floating fish reef and a sinking fish reef located at the bottom of the floating fish reef, the floating fish reef is connected to the sinking fish reef through a second connecting rope 6, and the preferred second connecting rope 6 is also a polyethylene rope.

[0030] The submerged fish reef includes at least two layers of non-lightweight panels 7 with a density greater than that of water. The horizontally arranged non-lightweight panels 7 are spaced apart in the height direction, and a solid sinking component 8 with a density greater than that of water and a second cavity 9 for fish to rest and breed are provided in the interval area between adjacent non-lightweight panels 7. The solid sinking component 8 is respectively connected to the non-lightweight panels 7 adjacent to the upper and lower sides. In the horizontal direction, the second cavity 9 is located outside the solid sinking component 8, and at least one of the three sides of the second cavity 9 away from the solid sinking component 8 is provided with a second passage for fish to enter and exit, and the second passage is connected to the second cavity 9. Preferably, the three sides of the second cavity 9 away from the solid sinking component 8 are provided with a second passage for fish to enter and exit, so as to improve the light transmittance of the second cavity 9.

[0031] The non-lightweight plate 7 can be a metal part, a ceramic part, a stone plate, etc. As a preferred embodiment of the present application, the non-lightweight plate 7 and the solid sinking component 8 are both reinforced concrete plates to increase the weight of the sunken fish reef and facilitate its sinking to the bottom of the water. The second cavity 9 located outside the solid sinking component 8 can provide a space for the fish in the lower layer to reproduce, rest and avoid wind and waves, so as to attract the fish in the lower layer to live inside the fish reef, thereby achieving the purpose of gathering the fish in the lower layer.

[0032] In order to further improve the light transmittance of the lower space, the non-lightweight panel 7 is also set in the present application as an X-shaped structure, and the corresponding edges of adjacent non-lightweight panels 7 are connected by a rigid connector 10 with a density greater than that of water. Preferably, the non-lightweight panel 7 is also a cross-shaped structure composed of two non-lightweight sub-panels 11 of the same specifications and sizes, and the non-lightweight sub-panels 11 are rectangular parallelepipeds, each of which is 3m long, 1m wide, and 5cm high. The setting position of the solid settlement component 8 corresponds to the overlapping parts of the mutually perpendicular non-lightweight sub-panels 11, and the setting position of the second cavity 9 corresponds to the extended parts of the four sides of the non-lightweight sub-panels 11. The rigid connector 10 can also be a metal part, a ceramic part, a stone part, etc. As a preferred embodiment of the present application, the rigid connector 10 is a column of a reinforced concrete structure, and the column is a cube with a side length of 30cm. A fixing ring is provided on the top of the non-lightweight panel 7 on the top layer, and the second connecting rope 6 is connected to the fixing ring.
