Three major postures are unlocked, and the drone becomes a fishing expert

Don’t tell me, drones can really be used in fisheries. Recently, a young man in China completed the "feat" of drone fishing. It is understood that the young man controlled a drone with a fishing line for fishing on his fish pond, and actually caught a small fish. According to him, although drone fishing is more difficult, it is very interesting.

Of course, this can only be regarded as a recreational attempt by a young man using a drone, and it is far from true. But in 2017, someone abroad actually applied drones to the fishing industry. According to the Australian ABC website, fishermen in the area use drones to target fish schools to help catch fish, which not only greatly reduces fishing time, but also significantly improves fishing efficiency.

Compared to domestic guys using drones to fish, Australia’s cooperative fishing method of using drones to locate fish schools seems to be much more reliable. We know that one of the advantages of drones is their wide field of view and accurate positioning. Therefore, when fishing in the ocean, they can quickly find and locate fish schools from high altitude, which is a clear path for the development of fishing operations. Quite a few obstacles.

It is understood that in the past few years, the offshore fishery in Zhoushan, my country, has also begun to use this drone "precision" fishing mode, which has effectively promoted the rapid development of Zhoushan's fishery in my country. Of course, in addition to helping locate fish schools, drone fishing also has a major role in driving away fish schools and allowing them to automatically fall into the surrounding net. This is also of significant significance to fishermen.

Abroad, many fishermen use underwater drones to chase and expel fish schools, driving them into pre-set nets, just like animals hunting on the grassland. , which not only improves the success of fishing, but also upgrades the efficiency and quality of fishing. More importantly, this method of fishing makes it easier for fishermen and they pay less waiting costs.

In addition to the above two fishing methods, drones also have a very direct fishing method, which is to rely on multiple drones to directly cast nets for fishing. In 2019, fishermen in Foshan, my country, used this method to fish. The advantage is that the net cast will have a wider range than that cast manually, and the net position isThe location is better than the location found by people, but the disadvantage is that the cost is too high.

On the whole, the drone fishing operations that the author currently knows about basically include the above three types. Among them, it is common to use drones as fish positioning tools, and it may become a major trend in fishery development in the future. In comparison, whether it is underwater drone fishing or multiple drones casting nets, they are relatively rare at present and need further development.

For drone fishing, it is not easy to achieve true popularization and development, and it still needs to overcome many difficulties in the future.

For example, in terms of UAV battery life, fishing on water requires extremely high UAV battery life. The battery life must not only be stable but also long-lasting. Otherwise, once the UAV falls, it will fall due to insufficient battery life. If it enters the water, serious damage may occur. At the same time, in terms of environmental adaptability, drones also need to withstand multiple tests such as wind resistance, earthquake resistance, and water resistance, and their performance requirements are much higher than ordinary drones.

In addition, fishing with drones also puts forward many requirements for fishermen’s operating skills, knowledge level and regional airspace management. Drones require professional pilots to operate them. It also needs to be applied according to the content delineated by laws and regulations. It is not just about flying whenever you want, but you can fly casually. On this basis, the popularization of drone fishing requires further maturity in all aspects.
