The invention relates to the field of hydrotechnics, in particular to a method for controlling the gate based on the habitat requirement for fish overwintering in rivers.
Fish are ectotherms and hence their ability to interact with their environment, and acquire energy for growth and reproduction, strongly depends on temperature. In boreal areas, winter conditions prevail for a substantial portion of the year. As water temperature decreases, fishes become less active and move to deeper water. Because the temperature in deep water is approximately equal to mean annual air temperature and maintains in a range that is acceptable for fish surviving even when air temperatures drop below freezing point. Hence, the appropriate water depth should maintain in overwintering areas to make sure fish survival. However, humans have built a large number of hydraulic engineering on rivers to meet the needs of social and economic development, which result in runoff decrease in the downstream, especially in winter. The water depth in the fish overwintering areas was too shallow to overwinter. In recognition of these issue, this invention provides a novel method to control the gate based on the habitat requirement to make sure that fish could live through winters safely.
Object of the invention: in order to protect fish resources and make sure that fish could live through winters safely, the invention provides a novel method to control the gate based on the habitat requirement for fish overwintering in rivers.
Technical scheme: the method for controlling the gate based on the habitat requirement for fish overwintering in rivers comprises:
Further, the step (1) specifically comprises:
Further, the formula of variation f2(H) between the temperature T and the water level H in the step (3) is specifically as follows:
Wherein m is month, Tb is the monthly average bottom water temperature, in □; T0 is the monthly average surface water temperature, in □; TH is the monthly average water temperature at the depth H, in □.
Further, establishing the relation f3(Q) between water depth H and discharge Q using hydrodynamic model in the step (5) is specifically as follows:
The hydrodynamic model computed the depth-averaged flow velocity and the water-surface elevation by solving the shallow-water equations, with hydrostatic and Boussinesq approximations; in a Cartesian coordinates, the equations are:

As shown in
The step specifically comprises the following.
When collecting fish specimens, in principle, all species in the research area need to be collected. Common fishes and economic fishes are mainly obtained from local fishing. For non-fishing water bodies, non-economic fishes or rare and precious fishes, special harvesting is required, and supplementary collection can also be conducted through local aquatic product markets, restaurants and recreational fishing. At the same time, historical fish resource survey data are collected, and finally fishes which appear more than a certain number of times in the catches are selected as candidates of a target fish.
Screening study is carried out on the candidate fishes in the research area from the aspects of spawning environment and feeding environment. The judgment matrix is constructed by using the hierarchical analysis method, the sorting weights of various candidate species are calculated, and finally the target fish, bream, with representative habitat demand in the research area is selected. Bream, one of the freshwater fish species, belong to the Cyprinidae, bream subfamily. Bream is typical herbivorous fish, and the seasonal changes of the food composition thereof are basically consistent with the seasonal ups and downs of aquatic plants in a lake. Bream is located in the middle layer of the trophic level. Meanwhile, a certain running water environment is required when bream lays eggs, and the habitat demand is high.
The growth and reproduction of fish strongly depend on temperature, especially during the winter. The physiological threshold of low temperature for Chinese bream was determined according to the literatures that described how fish performance changes with temperature. Chinese bream is a widely distributed cyprinid in China. It spawns when water temperature is higher than 18° C., while its ideal spawning temperature ranges from 21 to 25° C. Suitable survival temperature for adults and juveniles is above 12° C. Normal metabolism is interrupted when temperature is lower than 6° C. Laboratory experiment showed that Chinese bream would be out of balance and fall into hypothermia coma when water temperature is below 6° C. Consequently, the quantitative response relationship curve of the target species bream to water temperature T can be obtained.
Wherein m is month, Tb is the monthly average bottom water temperature, in □; T0 is the monthly average surface water temperature, in □; TH is the monthly average water temperature at the depth H, in □. Based on the meteorological data from the meteorological station in the research area, the monthly average river bottom water temperature Tb and surface water temperature T0 of a key section of river (
For example, for bream, it can be learned that the minimum water temperature Tmin required by the overwintering ground of the target fish is 6° C. according to the quantitative response relationship curve f1(T), and the minimum water level Heco in December required by the overwintering ground is 15 m based on Tmin=6° C. according to the formula f2(H)
Three overwintering areas of P. pekinensis, referred as Overwintering Areas 1, 2, and 3 (OA1, OA2, and OA3), were identified. The hydrodynamic model was established in the river reach where the major overwintering grounds were located (
The gate control system was established (
