Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of aquaculture, in particular to a robot used for monitoring water quality in aquaculture. Background Art

[0002] Aquaculture economically provides humans with high-quality animal protein. Fish, as aquatic poikilotherms, consume less energy than terrestrial, homeothermic livestock and poultry, resulting in higher feed conversion efficiencies and higher protein content. They also provide raw materials for various industries, including pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and feed. They also play a significant role in offsetting the shortage of marine fisheries. With the rapid growth of the global population and economic development, the demand for animal protein is increasing, but catches are limited by the replenishment of natural fishery resources. Fishery forecasts indicate that the upward trend in annual catches has reached its peak, and that natural fisheries alone will no longer be able to meet demand.

[0003] Traditional aquaculture faces many challenges, such as the difficulty in monitoring water quality, which makes disease prevention and control difficult, leading to fish deaths and environmental pollution. Manual detection is inefficient and has certain risks.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design a robot for aquaculture water quality monitoring. Utility Model Content
