This invention discloses a multi-unit composite stress tiered breeding device and method for
juvenile large yellow croaker, belonging to the field of
aquaculture breeding technology. The device uses a central
control unit as its sole core, forming a fully integrated unidirectional closed-loop drive
system. Four independent breeding units are connected through a transparent channel with a centrally located
aeration head, forming a physical flow-limiting isolation structure. Each unit independently regulates
water temperature,
salinity, and dissolved
oxygen, creating a multi-factor composite
stress gradient. The breeding method employs a three-factor linear equal-gradient synergistic progressive setting, utilizing the
juvenile fish's autonomous
adaptation and avoidance instincts to achieve cross-unit migration and
natural selection. Combined with contour recognition and dynamic tracking algorithms, it monitors the fish
population status and
mortality rate in real time, and identifies superior
offspring with comprehensive
stress resistance through secondary
verification under extreme stress. This invention offers high screening accuracy and
automation, increasing the
survival rate of superior individuals by over 40%, reducing labor costs by over 60%, and allowing for flexible adjustment of
device parameters. It can be extended to the
stress resistance breeding of other marine economic
fish species.
