Long-distance transport device and transport method for crown-of-thorns starfish parents

Abstract

The invention discloses a long-distance transport device for crown-of-thorns starfish parents. The device comprises a transport box and multiple transport frames matched with the transport box. The transport box comprises a box body and a box cover. The box cover is separated into multiple starfish drums and cooling ponds. The starfish drums are independent and distributed in a vertical direction by the box body through partition boards. The cooling ponds are located among all starfish drums. All the starfish drums and bottoms of the cooling ponds are provided with water drainage holes. An air inflating hole is arranged in each position of a starfish drum corresponding to the box cover. The transport frame is mostly composed of a framework and a sieve net and comprises a frame body and a frame cover. The invention further discloses a long-distance transport method for crown-of-thorns starfish parents. The long-distance transport device and method for crown-of-thorns starfish parents have the following beneficial effects: transport survival rate of crown-of-thorns starfish parents is greatly improved; and transport cost is saved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of aquaculture devices, and in particular relates to a long-distance transport device and a transport method for long-thorn starfish parents. Background technique [0002] Acanthaster planci belongs to the phylum Echinodermata and class Starfish. It is widely distributed in the Indian and Pacific waters and mainly feeds on corals. The long-thorn starfish has an amazing appetite and is the biggest natural destroyer of coral reef resources. In the South my country Sea, the eruption of long-thorn starfish has repeatedly caused the death of large areas of coral. In the past three decades, the long-spined starfish has been a hot spot in the study of echinoderms, but the mechanism of the population explosion of the long-spined starfish is still not very clear. The explosion of the adult population of the long-spined starfish is inseparable from the formation of a large-scale larval population, and various studies on the l...

Problems solved by technology

Because the long spine starfish has a flat body and its back is covered with 3-5cm long spines, the skin under the spines is easily damaged or punctured by adjacent starfish. Even if it is not punctured, the long spine starfish can be transported at room temperature It is also very easy to vomit dirty. During collective transportation, once a starfish is damaged or dies, it will quickly cause the deterioration of the water body, resulting in the death of most normal individuals

In addition, when transporting in a large water body in a single pool, the starfish is firmly adsorbed on the pool wall, and the multiple shifts during the capture and transfer process cause a large number of tube foot damage
