Title:
FISH COUNTING DEVICE, FISH COUNTING SYSTEM, AND FISH COUNTING METHOD
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2019/035346
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
[Problem] To achieve a fish counting device which makes it possible to economically and conveniently count fish. [Solution] A fish counting device 1 comprises: an ultrasonic wave transmitter/receiver 2; and a processing device 4. The ultrasonic wave transmitter/receiver 2 comprises a transmission/reception wave element for transmitting an ultrasonic beam 9 to the water in a first fish enclosure 11 connected to a second fish enclosure 12 via a path 13, the transmission/reception wave element being composed of a single channel and disposed in a position where the ultrasonic beam 9 does not intersect the path 13. The processing device 4 outputs a transmission signal for driving the ultrasonic wave transmitter/receiver 2 to the ultrasonic wave transmitter/receiver 2 and, on the basis of an echo signal input from the ultrasonic wave transmitter/receiver 2 which has received a reflected wave, acquires the number of fish that move from the path 13 to the first fish enclosure 11, passing through the ultrasonic beam 9 at such time.
