中～大型魚養殖における水中ロボットを用いた斃死魚回収システムに関する構成と基礎的研究

Idea and basic research on the dead fish collection system using underwater robot in medium to large fish aquaculture

In aquaculture, leaving dead fish that have sunk to the bottom of the net for a long time causes harmful components from the dead fish body. This risk making other fish in the aquaculture net sick. The early collection of dead fishes is required, but when divers work in the sea, high water pressure and low water temperatures make it difficult for them to work for a long time, and the work efficiency of the entire aquaculture facility is reduced due to the need for manpower. To protect aquaculture fishes from disease, it is useful to install devices and robots to detect and collect the dead fish at an early stage. If the target is small fishes, there is a pumping method. But if the target is medium to large fishes, it is not reasonable. Therefore, we devised a system for collecting dead fishes using AUV(autonomous underwater vehicle) and wire. This report describes the configuration and operation of this system, and conducts simple experiments to confirm its feasibility.
