Abstract
The present invention provides a new energy-driven in-situ plankton collecting device, comprising a solar photovoltaic cell and wind power generation system, a buoyancy support system, a power supply and control system, a plankton suction and collection system, and an anchoring system. The device has the center of gravity on the lower part and vertically floats in water like a tumbler. The plankton suction and collection system is composed of a suction axial-flow pump and a collecting cod end. The bag-shaped plankton collecting cod end has the mesh aperture of less than 0.8 time the average body length of the target plankton, and can be used on both sides. The devices provided by the present invention can be used simultaneously and arranged in an array for collection and utilization of plankton as well as governance and remediation of water area environment, and thus have a favorable application prospect.
