Design of a New Largemouth Bass Food Habit Domestication Device

Abstract:

Largemouth bass, as known as Cichlasomamanaguense, have many characteristics such as carnivorous, fast growth, and less disease. According to the living habit of the bass, a food habit domestication device is designed and developed. By the sound guidance system, underwater monitoring system and automatic control system, the device is able to achieve the goal of domesticating food habit by delivering the baits through the flowing water. The flowing water makes the bait looks like alive, and the water speed of feeding system is in accord with the living habit of the bass. Automatic control system can efficiently complete the work of domestication and meet the requirements of time and quality as well as decrease the labor cost obviously. The sound guidance system can change the methods of gathering the fish from the passive, inefficient way based on the "sense of hunger", to the initiative, efficient way based on "sound" to get better effect of domestication. Workers are able to adjust the feeding speed according to fish reaction collecting from the underwater monitoring system. The experiment shows the wide application potential of the valuable technique.
