Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model is an induction-type high-efficiency seedling harvesting device for sea bass seedling raising in earthen ponds, belonging to the field of fishery aquaculture. Background Technology

[0002] Fujian Province is an important aquaculture area for Chinese spotted bass (also known as seven-star bass), and its industry has shifted from relying on wild seedlings to large-scale artificial breeding. Earthen pond breeding is one important model in this process.

[0003] The standard procedure for raising fry in earthen ponds generally involves selecting a pond with a muddy or sandy bottom, measuring 10-15 mu (approximately 1.65-1.25 acres) and a water depth of 1.5-2.0 meters. Before stocking, the pond needs to be cleaned and disinfected (e.g., using bleaching powder), and fertilized (e.g., using fish paste or compound fertilizer) to cultivate natural food organisms, resulting in a clear, bright green water with a transparency of 40-50 cm. 300,000-700,000 newly hatched fry (fry) are stocked per mu. The water is continuously fertilized by regularly sprinkling fermented materials (e.g., fish paste with yeast fermentation extract) to cultivate natural food such as rotifers for the fry to feed on. When the fry reach a total length of 3.0 cm or more, they need to be removed from the earthen pond and transferred to net cages for the fingerling rearing stage, or sold.

[0004] However, the current method of catching fish is generally to use seine nets. When the nets are dragged along the bottom of the pond, they easily stir up silt, making the water turbid and causing the gills of the fish fry to become blocked and stressed. At the same time, the fish fry are squeezed and collided in the net, which can easily cause scales to fall off and injuries to their bodies, seriously affecting their subsequent survival rate. Moreover, seine nets often cannot catch all the fish fry in the pond at once, especially those that are hiding in the depressions at the bottom of the pond or burrowing into the soft mud after being startled. It is necessary to repeatedly pull the net or drain the pond ("pond cleaning") to catch them all. The latter is extremely damaging to the fish fry and is labor-intensive. Utility Model Content

[0029] Please refer to Figures 1-5 The utility model provides a kind of for inducing formula efficient seedling collecting device of high efficiency of Plectropomus leopardus soil pond seedling, technical scheme comprising:

[0030] Milling box 1, in one of the embodiments, by corresponding buoyancy of the milling box 1 bottom arrangement float 8, make milling box 1 half soak in water, ensure water level stability during seedling collection. Box is divided into buffer zone 11 and seedling collection area 12 by screening assembly 5, buffer zone 11 is used for fry transition adaptation, seedling collection area 12 is used for final fry collection. Fish inlet 13 is arranged in buffer zone 11 side, preferably, fish inlet 13 edge is treated with round angle, avoid scratching fry.

[0031] 2 Vertical side net 2, mesh size is adjusted according to the stage of seedling culture, side net 2 bottom is embedded in the bottom of soil pond and is fixed, prevent fry from escaping from bottom. 2 Side net 2 is formed in front side of fish inlet 13 horn-shaped fish collection area 21, narrow mouth of fish collection area 21 is connected to fish inlet 13, and fish fry is induced to gather using the guiding effect of horn mouth.

[0032] The bottom net 3 is laid flat in the trumpet-shaped fish collecting area 21, covering part or all of the bottom range of the fish collecting area 21. One side edge of the bottom net 3 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the fish inlet 13 of the fish collecting tank 1, and can be flipped around the connection point as the pivot point; the side away from the fish collecting tank 1 of the bottom net 3 is fixedly installed with a towing rod 32 for connecting the towing rope 42, and further, the towing rope 42 is provided with two, connected on both sides of the towing rod 32, so that when the towing rope 42 is pulled, the bottom net 3 can be moved in a nearly flat posture. A plurality of transverse reinforcing ribs 31 are provided on the bottom net 3, the reinforcing ribs 31 are consistent in direction with the towing rope 42, which improves the load-bearing capacity of the bottom net 3 and prevents the net body from deforming during the collection process. The two side slopes of the bottom net 3 are close to the inner side of the side net 2, preventing the fry from escaping from the gap.

[0033] The driving assembly includes a driving member 41 and a towing rope 42. The driving member 41 is a servo motor installed on a support on the fish collecting tank 1, and has a forward and reverse rotation function, which can accurately control the speed of the towing rope 42. The towing rope 42 is a high-strength nylon rope, one end of which is fixed to the towing rod 32, and the other end is wound around the drum of the servo motor. The towing rope 42 is retracted and extended by the forward and reverse rotation of the motor, thereby driving the bottom net 3 to flip upward around the bottom of the fish inlet 13 as the pivot point.

[0034] The screening assembly 5 includes a filter column 61, a partition plate 62, and a positioning structure. The filter column 61 is vertically arranged in the fish collecting tank 1.

[0035] Working principle:

[0036] Preparation stage: Fix the fish collecting tank 1 unit at the edge of the pond or on the floating platform 8, lay the spliced side net 2 from the fish inlet 13 to the soil pool to form the fish collecting area 21, and arrange the flat bottom net 3.

[0037] Induction stage: Turn on the feeder 6 at the top of the fish collecting tank 1, and continuously feed a small amount of feed (such as fish meal or micro-particle feed) that the fry like into the buffer area 11 and the fish collecting area 21, and use the feeding habit of the fish to gradually attract the fry from all parts of the pond to the vicinity of the fish collecting tank 1.

[0038] Bottom-collecting drive stage: After the fish gather, the towing rod of the bottom net 3 is pulled by the drive component 41, so that the bottom net 3 moves around the bottom of the fish inlet 13 as the axis point. This process "sweeps" out the fish fry hidden at the bottom of the earthen pond and guides them with the current by the side net 2.

[0039] Collection and Temporary Holding Stage: Fish fry swim along the side net 2 into the collection box 1. They first enter the buffer zone 11, where they can initially acclimatize. The operator can selectively place fish fry of uniform size into the collection area 12 by observing and adjusting the diameter of the filter holes 611, achieving rough grading. During the collection process, the drain valve 7 can be opened periodically to remove bottom sludge.
