Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of aquaculture, in particular to a test device for testing the growth performance of bulk freshwater fish. Background Art
[0002] Bulk freshwater fish is a general term for several freshwater fish with high production in my country, specifically referring to seven species of Cyprinidae: black carp, grass carp, silver carp, bighead carp, common carp, crucian carp, and bream. The breeding and promotion of bulk freshwater fish are of great significance to ensuring food security and ecological safety. Growth is one of the key breeding traits, and the speed of growth is directly related to the production volume and the economic benefits of farmers. According to the requirements of the "Aquatic Products Industry Standard of the People's Republic of China - Test Fish for Growth Performance of New Aquatic Species" and other relevant standards, the test and control species should have basically the same breeding methods, environmental requirements, stocking density, feed (bait) types, and feeding methods. At least three parallel groups should be set up for the test and control species, and the test period is generally no less than 90 days. At the end of the test, the growth rate, group growth uniformity, and survival rate of the test and control species are calculated and compared. There are four main methods for growth performance testing in the existing technology: one is to culture fish individually in culture barrels, breeding tanks, breeding tanks, etc. of the same size. This method is only suitable for small-scale tests. The water quality during the test is difficult to control. Too high a breeding density can easily lead to slow growth of fish, easy disease, and even death. The second is to fix wooden or bamboo stakes at the bottom of the pond and use plastic sheets, plastic boards, fiberboards, rubber sheets and other materials to enclose a certain size of test water body (grid) for individual culture. This method is difficult to ensure that the water environment of the test subjects is the same, especially near the water source and near the water outlet. The growth of fish is often significantly different, and the accuracy and authenticity of the test results are affected by environmental differences such as water flow, water quality and oxygen content. In addition, there are many inconveniences when taking samples and weighing, such as difficulty in fishing, complex operation and poor maintenance. Third, floating frames and enclosures are assembled into enclosures for individual breeding. In severe weather such as strong winds and heavy rains, the enclosures are prone to tilting and twisting, and the overall force on the enclosures is uneven. The stability in the water is unreliable, and it is easy to escape. In addition, daily breeding management and operation are inconvenient. Fourth, by cutting fins, injecting fluorescent pigments or PIT (Passive Injection Tumor Injection), the growth of fish is often significantly different, and the accuracy and authenticity of the test results are affected. In addition, when taking samples and weighing, there are many inconveniences such as difficulty in fishing, complex operation and poor maintenance. Third, by using floating frames and enclosures to assemble into enclosures for individual breeding, this method is prone to tilting and twisting in severe weather such as strong winds and heavy rains. The overall force on the enclosures is uneven, and the stability in the water is unreliable, and it is easy to escape. In addition, daily breeding management and operation are inconvenient. The method involves tagging fish with an integrated transponder (IIT) and then placing the marked individuals in the same pond or cement tank for culture. However, this method can easily cause confusion or label loss due to factors such as the location of fin clipping, fin ray regeneration, or the location and depth of fluorescent pigment injection. Furthermore, injecting PIT tags has certain requirements for fish size; smaller fish cannot be marked. Furthermore, the needle puncture wound during injection is prone to secondary infection or death. The marking and identification equipment is expensive, requiring professional personnel to apply and identify the tags, and the tags are prone to migration within the fish. Furthermore, due to the inherent differences in biological learning characteristics (such as predatory behavior and stress physiological responses) between species, if these species are tested together, human factors cannot be avoided, thus losing the accuracy and authenticity of the test. To address these issues, a test device for growth performance testing of bulk freshwater fish was proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] Furthermore, the microporous aeration pipe extends to the bottom of the cage, until the bottom of each cage is provided with a microporous aeration pipe;
[0006] Furthermore, right-angle steel support columns are extended upward from the four corners and the inner side of the center of the rectangular frame. Two ear buckles are provided on the inner side of the upper part of the support column, and the ear buckle is connected to an upper corner rope of the net box. An ear buckle is provided on the inner side of the bottom of the column of the rectangular frame. A rope loop is provided between the ear buckle on the inner side of the upper part of the support column and the ear buckle on the inner side of the bottom of the column. Two single-eye olive buckles are tied to the rope loop, and one of the olive buckles is connected to a bottom corner rope of the net box.
[0007] Furthermore, the cage is open and made of polyethylene, with a length and width of 4m×3m respectively. The fry box is immersed in water at a depth of 0.5-0.6m, and the fingerling box is immersed in water at a depth of 0.8-1.6m.

Several rectangular frames of uniform size are arranged in the same water body, and open test cages of uniform area are arranged within the frames. The device is stable and easy to operate and manage. It can meet the growth performance testing requirements of bulk freshwater fish at all stages, from fry (sprigs) to commercial fish, and effectively avoids and solves technical problems of existing growth performance testing methods, such as inconsistent breeding environments, insufficient representativeness, and high marker loss rates. Because the device is implemented on-site in ponds, the data is more accurate and more authentic.

[0011] 3. The microporous aeration tube provided by the utility model extends to the bottom of the cage, so that each cage is equipped with a microporous aeration tube at the bottom, which can significantly increase the oxygen content in the test water, effectively avoiding and solving the problem of the test results being affected by environmental differences such as water flow, water quality and oxygen content;
[0012] 4. The species in each box of the utility model are raised separately, and the test results are convincing, which effectively avoids the unscientific method of putting species with different biological learning characteristics (such as feeding competition, stress physiological response, etc.) together for testing due to human factors;
[0013] 5. The inner ear buckles on the upper part of the support column, the inner ear buckles on the bottom of the column, the rope loops and the single-eye olive buckle of the utility model can not only ensure that the net of the cage is evenly stressed, but also fully stretch the net, increasing the utilization space of the cage. It effectively avoids and solves the problems of net deformation, tilting and twisting caused by uneven stress on the four corners of the cage, as well as unreliable stability in water and easy breakage and escape.
[0014] 6. The right-angle steel support columns within the framework of this utility model can be adjusted to raise the upper line of the cage 60cm above the water surface, especially during the fish breeding stage, thereby preventing birds from preying on the test fish and making the test data more accurate;
[0015] 7. The aisle between the operating platform and the frame of the utility model is convenient for daily operations such as stocking, feeding, and fish disease prevention while ensuring safety;
[0016] 8. The olive buckle of this utility model is used to limit the depth of the net cage into the water, effectively reducing the wear of the rope loop and increasing the service life.
