Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of aquaculture equipment technology, specifically relating to a hatching device for fertilized eggs of the giant finned mandarin fish. Background Technology

[0002] The giant catfish, also known as the river rat or stone flathead catfish, belongs to the family Bagridae and the genus *Ctenopharynx*. It is a freshwater fish mainly distributed in rivers and lakes south of the Yangtze River. Due to its rich protein content, tender flesh, few bones, and delicious flavor, it has always been popular with consumers. However, in recent years, due to the ten-year fishing ban in the Yangtze River and restrictions on fishing in many natural waters, the number of wild giant catfish available for sale in the market has decreased significantly. To meet market demand, artificial breeding of giant catfish has begun. Because giant catfish fertilized eggs are adhesive, during incubation, the fertilized eggs easily adhere to each other, forming a clump-like structure. This leads to some fertilized eggs not receiving enough oxygen or water and dying, greatly reducing the hatching rate and posing a challenge to the artificial breeding of giant catfish.

[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, Chinese utility model patent CN201721624061.0 discloses a fish fry hatching tank, comprising a tank body with an overflow port on the upper side wall and an opening at the bottom. A three-way pipe connects to the opening, with its other two ports connected to an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe, respectively. A water pump is mounted on the inlet pipe. This utility model utilizes the upward flow of hatching water to propel fertilized eggs from the bottom upwards, preventing them from piling up and sticking together, thus improving the hatching rate. However, this technical solution has the following drawbacks during use: 1. Impact damage: The water flow generated by the pump has a strong impact, and the fertilized eggs are relatively fragile. The direct impact of the water flow can easily cause the fertilized eggs to rupture or even die, especially when the pump power is high or improperly configured. 2. Fixed water depth in the incubation tank: This utility model only has an overflow port on the side wall of the tank. As new incubation water continuously enters from the water inlet pipe, the water depth in the incubation tank is fixed at the overflow port, and it is impossible to freely adjust the water depth of the incubation tank according to the number of fertilized eggs. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a hatching device for fertilized eggs of the giant finned ...

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a hatching device for fertilized eggs of the large-finned tadpole, including a support frame and a hatching barrel with an inverted cone-shaped bottom. The hatching barrel is supported by the support frame and suspended in the air. The characteristic feature is that the side wall of the hatching barrel has several overflow ports from top to bottom, each overflow port is equipped with an overflow pipe and an escape-prevention net. The mesh size of the escape-prevention net is smaller than the size of a single fertilized egg. A diversion plate, a ring-shaped nano-oxygenation disc, and a water supply pipe are fixedly connected to the center of the bottom of the hatching barrel. The diversion plate is located above the ring-shaped nano-oxygenation disc and the water supply pipe, and the diversion plate divides... The size of the flow hole is smaller than that of a single fertilized egg. The annular nano oxygenation disc is connected to the oxygen supply equipment through the oxygen inlet pipe. The annular nano oxygenation disc has water perforations running through it from top to bottom. The water supply pipe connects the inside and outside of the incubation tank. The end of the water supply pipe located outside the incubation tank is connected to port I of the three-way pipe. Port II of the three-way pipe is connected to the water source through the water inlet pipe. Port III of the three-way pipe is connected to the drain pipe. Port I is located between port II and port III. The oxygen inlet pipe, water inlet pipe, drain pipe, and overflow pipe are all equipped with regulating valves.

[0006] Preferably, the bottom of the incubation tank is provided with an installation tank, and the diversion plate, the annular nano oxygenation disc and the water supply pipe are installed inside the installation tank.

[0007] Preferably, the installation bucket and the incubation bucket are threaded together.

[0008] Preferably, the water supply pipe is inserted into the water inlet, and its opening is flush with the top of the annular nano-oxygenation disc.

[0009] Preferably, the overflow pipe and the drain pipe are connected.

[0010] Preferably, the flow divider is a circular perforated flow divider.

[0011] Preferably, the annular nano-oxygenation disk is semi-enclosed.

[0012] Preferably, the bottom of the incubation bucket forms a 45-degree angle with the horizontal plane.

[0013] Preferably, the regulating valve is a solenoid valve.

[0014] The usage and principle of this utility model are as follows: When incubating fertilized eggs of the giant finned ...

[0015] The eggs of the largefin takin are demersal and will settle at the bottom of the incubation tank. The bottom of the incubation tank is designed with an inverted cone shape, which helps to concentrate the fertilized eggs in the center of the tank. A water supply pipe is located in the center of the bottom. After the incubation water flows out of the water supply pipe, it passes through the water inlet and the diversion plate, and finally forms a gentle and uniform upward water flow. The fertilized eggs accumulated in the center of the tank are gradually floated upward by the upward water flow, then slowly sink, and then gather back to the center of the tank to continue to float upward. This continuous cycle keeps the fertilized eggs active and prevents them from accumulating at the bottom of the incubation tank due to prolonged stillness. The fertilized eggs are prone to die from oxygen deprivation due to adhesion between the fertilized parts. The diversion plate greatly evens out the water flow and reduces the impact of the incubation water. The small and dense bubbles generated by the annular nano oxygenation disc achieve efficient oxygenation while minimizing physical impact on the fertilized eggs. At the same time, when the water level in the incubation tank rises to a certain height, the old incubation water is discharged through the overflow pipe, while new incubation water continuously enters through the water supply pipe, achieving timely replacement of the incubation water in the incubation tank. The installation of several overflow pipes with regulating valves allows for free adjustment of the incubation water depth according to the number of fertilized eggs, thereby saving water.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are: the utility model has a simple structure, is not easy to damage fertilized eggs, can freely adjust the water depth of the incubation tank, prevents fertilized eggs from piling up and sticking together, and improves the hatching rate of fertilized eggs.
