Test fish guiding device

Abstract

The article relating to the present design is primarily a fish guiding device for guiding small test fish, such as zebrafish, used in tests and experiments, to a predetermined guiding position. As shown in "Reference Figure 1 showing the state of use" and "Reference Figure 2 showing the state of use," the test fish is introduced into the funnel section along with water, the introduced test fish passes through a downward-sloping guide pipe along with the water, the test fish that has passed through the inclined guide pipe passes through a discharge chute that extends downward along with the water, the test fish that has passed through the discharge chute is discharged along with the water from the lower end opening of the discharge chute to a predetermined guiding position, such as in the holding groove of a fish holder, and the discharged test fish is positioned in a form in which it is held, for example, in the holding groove.
