A suitable layout method can be selected according to the hatching container 2, and it is advisable that the water dripping holes 13 are evenly distributed in the hatching container 2.

[0036] Embodiment Two

[0037] As Figure 3 shown, in this embodiment, a large-sized demersal fish egg hatching device 1 is provided, in which a number of groups of hatching containers 2 are provided. The water inlet pipe 9 is connected with a number of branch pipes 11 through a booster pump 10. The branch pipes 11 are communicated with the water dripping pipes 4 in each group of hatching containers 2. The overflow pipes 5 in each group of hatching containers 2 are communicated with a water outlet pipe 15 through the branch pipes 11. A valve 12 is arranged on each branch pipe 11 to facilitate controlling the flow rate of water inlet or outlet and keeping the two in balance. The water source can be selected as mountain spring water or sun-exposed and aerated tap water.

[0038] The working principle and working process of the demersal fish egg hatching device 1 in this embodiment are specifically as follows: First, ensure that the hatching room is at a suitable hatching temperature, generally 19°C - 25°C. Fill the hatching container 2 with water to a water level of about 40 cm, sink the hatching frame into the water, about 10 - 15 cm below the water surface, and position the hatching frame in the middle of the water body through the support ring 7 and the pressure ring 8 in the middle. At the same time, one water inlet pipe 9 can be connected with a number of hatching containers 2 through a booster pump 10 to increase the hatching quantity of one operation. Manually spread the fertilized eggs obtained by artificial insemination as evenly as possible on the screen, without stacking. During the hatching process, fresh water continuously flows into the hatching container 2 in a dripping state through the dripping pipeline to ensure rich dissolved oxygen and fresh water quality in the hatching container 2. At the same time, the overflow pipe drains away the excess water. After the corresponding hatching time, after the fry hatch, with the slight swing of the seedlings, they can fall through the sieve holes to the bottom of the hatching container 2 and continue to be cultivated. The fish eggs remaining on the screen are either dead eggs or deformed eggs, and then the hatching sieve bed 3 can be disassembled and pulled out for cleaning. Generally, the hatching temperature of Neolissochilus heterostomus is 19°C - 25°C, the hatching time is about 4 - 5 days, and the whole process from fry to pond release takes at least 16 days.

[0039] The sinking fish egg hatching device 1 in this embodiment can be used for hatching most sinking fish eggs, greatly reducing the infection of healthy fish eggs and newly hatched fry by dead egg water mold, reducing the difficulty of manually removing dead eggs in the traditional hatching method, effectively improving the hatching rate of fertilized eggs and the survival rate of fry. It has a simple structure, low cost, and the hatching rate is at least above 80%.

[0040] In this utility model, specific examples are used to elaborate on the principle and implementation mode of the utility model. The description of the above embodiments is only used to help understand the method and its core idea of the utility model; at the same time, for those of ordinary skill in the art, according to the idea of the utility model, there will be changes in the specific implementation mode and application scope. In summary, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation to the utility model.
