Abstract

Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fish fry breeding technology, and in particular to the propagation and release chamber for short-barbel schizothorax. Background Technology
[0002] The short-barbel schizothorax is a species of fish in the genus *Schizothorax* of the family Cyprinidae. It is endemic to China and also to the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. Its body is slightly laterally compressed, with a blunt, conical head, an inferior, transversely split mouth, a sharp, horny lower jaw, fleshy lips, a crescent-shaped lower lip with papillae, a continuous postlabial groove, and two pairs of short, equal-length barbels, about half the diameter of its eye. It is mainly distributed in the Jinsha River, Yalong River, Dadu River, and Wujiang River, and often lives in groups in flowing water environments, feeding on attached algae, especially diatoms.
[0003] A short-barbel schizothorax stock enhancement and release chamber is a facility or device specifically designed for the stock enhancement and release of short-barbel schizothorax. It aims to provide a suitable environment for the temporary holding, transportation, and release of these fish to improve the survival rate and release effect of the released fry, thereby promoting the recovery and protection of the short-barbel schizothorax population. Existing stock enhancement and release chambers typically use a feeding port to directly feed the fish inside. However, this single feeding location results in a large amount of feed being concentrated in a specific area of the chamber, meaning only the fry closest to that location can receive timely feed. Fish fry that are far from the feeding area may not be able to reach the feeding area in time, resulting in insufficient feeding. Long-term insufficient feeding will affect the growth rate and physical condition of the fish fry, reduce their survival rate, and make it difficult to clean up impurities, fish feces and uneaten feed in the aquaculture water. As these pollutants accumulate in the water, the organic matter will be decomposed by microorganisms, consuming a large amount of dissolved oxygen and producing harmful substances such as ammonia nitrogen, nitrite and hydrogen sulfide. The accumulation of pollutants will also lead to an imbalance in water quality indicators such as pH and hardness. Utility Model Content

A drive component 76 for driving the flow guide frame 75 to rotate is provided inside the mounting frame 72.
[0028] The feed guide frame 75 can guide the feed during feeding. The drive component 76 can drive the rotating rod 74 to rotate, causing the feed guide frame 75 to rotate and guide the feed to different discharge ports 71, so that the two sets of discharge ports 71 can feed different positions inside the cabin 2.
[0029] Example 2:
[0030] This is the second embodiment of the present invention, which is based on the previous embodiment.
[0031] Specifically, the drive component 76 includes a drive motor 761 fixed to the inner wall of the mounting bracket 72. A first gear 762 is fixed to the output end of the drive motor 761. A second gear 763 is meshed with the outer side of the first gear 762, and the axis of the second gear 763 is fixed to the outer side of the rotating rod 74.
[0032] The drive motor 761 can drive the first gear 762 and the second gear 763 to rotate, and the second gear 763 drives the rotating rod 74 and the guide frame 75 to rotate.
[0033] Specifically, two sets of mounting blocks 10 are fixed to the outside of the cabin 2, two sets of connecting brackets 11 are fixed to the top of the filter frame 3, and a locking rod 12 is fixed to the bottom of the connecting bracket 11, with the outer side of the locking rod 12 engaging with the inner wall of the mounting block 10.
[0034] Insert the lever 12 into the mounting block 10 to install the filter frame 3 inside the chamber 2, which also facilitates the subsequent disassembly and cleaning of the filter frame 3.
[0035] Specifically, the top of the cabin 2 is fitted with a cabin cover 13, and the inner cavity of the cabin cover 13 has two sets of feeding ports 14.
[0036] The hatch cover 13 further seals the cabin 2 to prevent fish from jumping out of the cabin 2, while also reducing external interference and maintaining the stability of the environment inside the cabin 2. The feeding port 14 is the channel for feed to enter the cabin 2, and works with the feeding component 7 to deliver the feed.
[0037] Specifically, two sets of guide frames 15 are fixed to the top of the hatch cover 13. A baffle 16 for closing the feeding port 14 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the guide frame 15. A pull ring 17 is fixed to one side of the baffle 16. A drain pipe 18 is connected to the inner wall of the hatch body 2. The outer side of the drain pipe 18 penetrates the inner wall of the box body 1 and is equipped with a solenoid valve. Multiple sets of bases 19 are fixed to the bottom of the box body 1.
[0038] The guide frame 15 provides a sliding track for the baffle 16, allowing the baffle 16 to slide along the guide frame 15, thereby closing and opening the feeding port 14.

[0039] Example 3:
[0040] This is the third embodiment of the present invention, which is based on the first two embodiments.
[0041] Specifically, a feeding port 20 is fixed to the inner wall of the housing 6, a retaining sleeve 21 is fixed to the inner wall of the cover 5, and a lamp plate 22 is inserted into the inner wall of the retaining sleeve 21.
[0042] The feeding port 20 is located on the guide frame 75. Feed can be added into the guide frame 75 through the feeding port 20. The lamp plate 22 can be installed through the clip 21. The lamp plate 22 provides lighting for the cabin 2, simulating natural lighting conditions to meet the lighting needs of the short-barbel schizothorax and promote the growth and development of the fry. It should be noted that the cabin cover 13 and the baffle 16 are both made of transparent acrylic glass, which can ensure that the light from the lamp plate 22 can penetrate the cabin cover 13 and the baffle 16 to the maximum extent, providing good lighting conditions for the fry in the cabin 2.
[0043] Specifically, a handle 23 is rotatably connected to the outside of the box cover 5, and a support plate 24 is fixed to the outside of the box cover 5 to support the handle 23.
[0044] The handle 23 facilitates the subsequent transfer and transportation of the container 1, thereby improving the survival rate and release effect of the released fish fry.
[0045] During use, the operator adds feed to the guide frame 75 inside the housing 6 through the feeding port 20. The drive motor 761 starts, causing the first gear 762 to rotate. The first gear 762 meshes with the second gear 763, which in turn drives the rotating rod 74 to rotate within the support base 73. The guide frame 75 on the outside of the rotating rod 74 rotates accordingly, guiding the feed to different discharge ports 71. The feed enters the housing 2 through the discharge ports 71 and the feeding port 14 on the cover 13, allowing for feed addition to different locations inside the housing 2 and improving feeding uniformity. When not feeding, the baffle 16 can be pulled by the pull ring 17 to slide within the guide frame 15, closing the feeding port 14 to prevent impurities from entering. Pollutants such as feed, fish feces, and uneaten feed accumulate inside the housing 2, and the filter frame 3 filters these pollutants. The filter prevents the accumulation of pollutants in the chamber 2, keeps the water clean, and provides good living conditions for the fry. When it is necessary to clean the filter frame 3, the lever 12 can be pulled out from the mounting block 10 to remove the filter frame 3 from the chamber 2 for cleaning. The temperature sensor 4 monitors the temperature in the chamber 2 in real time. The suitable water temperature for the growth of the short-barbel schizothorax is 14-22℃. When the temperature exceeds the suitable range, ice packs or hot water bags can be placed in the chamber 2 for local temperature regulation. The aerator 9 is turned on to inject oxygen into the chamber 2 through the pipe to increase the dissolved oxygen in the water, meet the oxygen requirements of the short-barbel schizothorax, and ensure the normal respiration and growth of the fry. The light panel 22 provides lighting in the chamber 2, simulating natural lighting conditions to meet the light requirements of the short-barbel schizothorax and promote the growth and development of the fry.
