Description
Technical field
The invention belongs to technical field of fishery more particularly to a kind of fish planktonic organism to acquire trawlnet.
Background technique
In recent years, country gradually payes attention to fishery resources, put into effect that " Ministry of Agriculture is quasi- about marine fishing is implemented in succession
With the notice of fishing gear and transition fishing gear minimum size of mesh system " and " important fishery resources catchable size first part: ocean
Economic fish " etc. relevant announcements and standard, in this, as the foundation to protect fishery resourses.In fishery conservation, fish-egg and
Basis of the larva and juvenile as stock of fish supplement and Living resources of fisheries sustainable use, in research marine fish resource point
Cloth determines fishing ground fishing season etc. and is all of great significance.Carry out fish-egg and larva and juvenile investigation, to the understanding stock of fish and production
Power situation, protection and reasonable development fishery resources show important especially.How fish-egg and larva and juvenile are accurately acquired, is to determine rationally assessment
The basis of biomass resource.Current planktonic organism acquires trawlnet, and such as China Patent Publication No.: CN206274768 discloses one
Kind is swum for fixing the plankton net of water layer horizontal trawl sampling, including line concentration type buoy plate, plankton net and plummet
Biological net includes that successively nested plankton net, line concentration type buoy plate pass through the first rope and planktonic organism for the phases of three kinds of specifications
Net connection, the first rope are equipped with length scale, adjustable in length, and plummet is connect by the second rope with plankton net,
Under the action of plummet and line concentration type buoy plate, plankton net can complete the acquisition to fixed water layer planktonic organism sample.However
Such trawlnet can only be acquired in fixed water layer, be can not achieve and become water layer acquisition, and flexibility in use is poor.
Summary of the invention
It is able to achieve it is an object of the invention to overcome the defect of prior art, and provide one kind and is accurately adopted in different water levels
The fish planktonic organism of collection acquires trawlnet.
To achieve the goals above, the invention adopts the following technical scheme:
A kind of fish planktonic organism acquires trawlnet, including the string bag and is fixed on the bracket of string bag opening, the string bag
Bottom be equipped with net capsule, the blocking apparatus of covering string bag opening is equipped in the bracket, the side of bracket is equipped with several detachable
Floating ball and iron ball, the edge of bracket is equipped with tow strap.In this way, acquisition trawlnet is connect by tow strap with acquisition vessel, acquisition vessel is expert at
Dragging acquisition trawlnet carries out the acquisition of fish planktonic organism during sailing.By adjusting acquisition trawlnet bracket upper floating ball and iron ball
Ratio changes the buoyancy size of acquisition trawlnet, ultimately corresponds to different acquisition water layers, when needs are adopted in the waters on more upper layer
Floating ball ratio is then improved when collection, when needing then to improve the ratio of iron ball when the waters of more lower layer acquires, to realize change water
The effect of layer acquisition.
Preferably, the bracket is in a ring, the floating ball and iron ball are evenly arranged on the outside of bracket, described
Bracket is equipped with the bracket body of rod of positioning floating ball and iron ball.
Preferably, the bracket is equipped with flowmeter and the fixed frame based on firm discharge.
Preferably, further including tow strap connector, the tow strap is evenly distributed on the edge of bracket, the end of the tow strap
Portion is fixed with tow strap connector.
Preferably, the blocking apparatus includes intercepting sieve, the mesh mesh number for intercepting sieve is less than the string bag
Mesh mesh number.Interception sieve on blocking apparatus can large volume of fish or object intercepted, reduce impurity in sample
Quantity, convenient for being acquired to fish-egg and larva and juvenile.
Preferably, the floating ball includes the shell of hard and the buoyancy adjustment room that is connected to shell, the buoyancy
The piston of sealing cooperation is equipped in regulation room, the outside of the buoyancy adjustment room is equipped with can be with piston in buoyancy adjustment room
The push plate of sliding, plane where the push plate is open with the string bag are parallel.In this way, being acquired when acquisition vessel pulls acquisition trawlnet
When, push plate is mobile to buoyancy adjustment room by the active force of seawater, to push piston to compress buoyancy adjustment room, by buoyancy tune
Section room air is depressed into shell, so that overall buoyancy reduces, sinks down into predetermined water layer convenient for acquisition trawlnet.
Preferably, the bracket is equipped with several baffles of rotation connection in string bag opening and can drive flapper closure
The torsional spring of string bag opening, the branch are provided with baffle limiting on the shank for closing string bag aperture position, the push plate
Equipped with releasing shank to the solution closing piece of baffle limiting.When acquisition trawlnet just has started to sink, seawater is smaller to the active force of push plate,
Shank keeps the limit effect to baffle, and the string bag is open and closes by baffle, and as acquisition vessel speed rises, seawater is for push plate
Active force increases, the final limit for releasing shank for baffle, acquires trawlnet at this time and also reaches predetermined water layer, baffle can after opening
It is acquired operation.In this way, can avoid collecting the biology in other water layers, guarantee that sampling is more accurate and reliable.
Preferably, the top of the shank is equipped with the guiding surface that can be contacted with solution closing piece, the branch is provided with drive
Shank is close to the reset spring of baffle, and drive shank is far from baffle when the solution closing piece acts on guiding surface.In this way, when pushing away
When plate is mobile to buoyancy adjustment room, solution closing piece acts on the guiding surface at the top of shank, so that shank releases the limit for baffle
Position, when solving the disappearance of closing piece active force, shank can reset under action of reset spring.
The beneficial effects of the present invention are: the ratio of (1) by adjusting floating ball and iron ball, changes the buoyancy of acquisition trawlnet, just
It is acquired operation in different water levels in realizing, versatility and flexibility are higher;(2) floating ball can change with acquisition foot
Buoyancy size sinks down into predetermined waters convenient for acquisition trawlnet and is acquired again, samples more accurate and reliable.
