Description
BACKGROUND
Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a device for repelling organisms that cause human damage or feeding damage such as sharks living in water and a method for using the same.


Background Technology

When fishing for fish such as tuna, feeding damage by sharks etc. was very frequent and was a problem. Even in fishing as a leisure activity, eating damage caused by sharks and the like has been a cause of diminishing interest and reducing its value. In addition, human damage caused by sharks during marine leisure such as surfing was enormous, and countermeasures were required.


On the other hand, various measures against feeding damage have been taken in the fishery field. Fish, especially cartilaginous fish such as sharks, which have a high frequency of feeding damage, have a sensory organ in the head that senses an electric current, which is used to help capture the predator. However, since it has such an organ, it is very sensitive to electric current, and a repellent device using this has been proposed.


For example, in tuna single fishing, etc., a device for electric shock that is pre-equipped on the road thread is used, and when the tuna hits the needle, it is thrown in, and the electric shock of several hundred volts is applied by the power supply from the ship to add the tuna. It is being done to stop the activities of tuna and prevent tuna and other feeding damage.

FIG. 1 shows a prototype state of the device according to the present invention. It goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to such a form. Here, in the present embodiment, a mode in which the apparatus according to the invention is used to avoid feeding damage during fishing of fish such as tuna will be described.


In using the device according to the present invention to avoid feeding damage when fishing fish such as tuna, the device is stored on board the ship in a state where the switch is off and the joint member is not connected. After the fish to be fished such as tuna is caught on the needle, the tube-shaped member is connected by a ring-shaped joint member so as to surround the thread, and the thread is used as a guide to throw it into the vicinity of the fish to be fished. FIG. 3 shows a drawing-substituting photograph for explaining a form of an example of a joint portion of the device according to the present invention.

It is desirable that it is 40 cm or more and 40 cm or less. This is effective for the target fish, and when the device is used to avoid feeding damage when fishing fish such as tuna, the main body in which the tubular members are connected in a ring shape is attached to the head of the target fish after being put in. This is because the fitting limits the movement of the gill lid and also has the effect of regulating the activity of the target fish.


In this embodiment, a dry battery is built in the power supply unit 2 as a power source, and a circuit for generating a pulse voltage is also built in and used. FIG. 2 shows a drawing substitute photograph showing the configuration of the power supply unit.

In particular, by using a neodymium magnet or the like having a strong magnetic force, it is possible to obtain by superimposing a repellent effect such as a shark by a magnetic field as well as an electric current, and the effect can be increased.



FIG. 4 is a drawing substitute photograph for explaining an example of a usage pattern of the device according to the present invention. By connecting the tubular members so as to surround the rod that looks like a road thread, it is possible to use the road thread as a guide and throw it into the vicinity of the fish to be fished.


In the present invention, it is desirable that the length of the string-shaped member provided with the counter electrode extending from the tubular member is 30 cm or more and 3 m or less, and further, the counter electrode extending from the tubular member is provided. It is desirable that the length of the string-shaped member is 50 cm or more and 2 m or less. This is determined by the size of the target fish, the repellent effect, and the effective time of the power supply. By using the counter electrode extending in these ranges, it is effective even in a large target fish such as tuna, and a sufficient duration can be obtained.


In the present invention, it is desirable that the power supply device for applying a voltage between the electrodes includes a battery, and further, it is desirable that the battery is a dry battery, a button type battery, or a storage battery capable of charging and discharging.
