[0049] In the embodiment, after receiving the images of the image detection assembly 32b, the counting main control module 31 is also used to compare the images with preset image information to determine whether there are live fish or non-fish objects in the images.

[0050] It should be noted that the image shooting is used to transmit the picture content back to the counting main control module 31 for intelligent judgment to determine the number, species, and size of live fish, and whether it is fish. The judgment method includes image database intelligent comparison and matrix scanning principle combined with algorithm. Of course, the image detection assembly 32b in the embodiment can also be used simultaneously with the infrared detection assembly 32a in embodiment 1.

[0051] Embodiment 3

The Hall detection component 32c includes a baffle 322 and a Hall sensor disposed on the fish return channel 2. One side of the baffle 322 is rotatably connected, and the other side is provided with a Hall sensor. The Hall sensor is used to detect the opening and closing of the baffle 322 and send it to the counting main control module 31 to count the live fish passing through.

[0053] It should be noted that the Hall sensor includes a Hall device 323 and a magnetic component, which is a permanent magnet. The Hall device 323 is located on the other side of the baffle 322 and rotates with the baffle 322 or is fixed in the fish return channel 2. The magnetic component is located on the rotation trajectory of the Hall device 323. A fully enclosed or semi-enclosed baffle can be set in the fish return channel 2. A recovery mechanism is also provided on one side of the baffle's rotating shaft. The recovery mechanism can be powered or spring-driven to recover. The other side uses the Hall device 323 and the corresponding magnetic component for counting. The magnetic component can be set in multiple intervals, setting multiple intervals according to the volume of the live fish to be measured, and judging the fish weight interval according to the opening degree of the baffle 322, thereby achieving the counting effect. Of course, the Hall detection component 32c in this embodiment can also be used simultaneously with one or more of the infrared detection component 32a in embodiment 1 and the image detection component 32b in embodiment 2.
