Procedure of arrangement of fishing tackle under ice and facility for this procedure (versions) / 2358425
Invention refers to industrial fishery, particularly to technical facilities for ice fishing. The procedure consists in making two holes at a distance approximately equal to the length of the fishing net; a fisherman lowers a self-propelled underwater tackle by means of a gripping appliance into the first starting hole into water under ice; a priming halyard fishing line is secured to the body of the self-propelled underwater tackle. A bitter end of the halyard is left on ice surface. Required direction of motion of the underwater tackle is set; the tackle is transferred by means of its propulsive arrangement under ice in preset direction of fishing net placing. At the end of process of transfer of the underwater tackle the second - finish hole is made. The second fisherman, who follows underwater tackle movement over the ice, continuously determines location of the tackle by listening to a device receiving emitted signals. When the underwater tackle reaches distance approximately equal to length of the fishing net, the first fisherman stops motion of the tackle by pulling the fishing line through the first hole; and the second hole is made in front along run of motion. Further the first fisherman lowers the fishing line till the underwater tackle appears in the second hole; here the second fisherman pulls it out with the gripping appliance on ice surface together with the fishing line, which has been drawn in this way between two holes. Upon following the underwater tackle signal location is performed on base of implementation of inductive coupling of the receiving device of the second fisherman and a transmitting device of the underwater tackle.

The underwater tackle additionally contains a transmitting device with a transmitting aerial connected to it and a pulse generator, the output of which is connected to the input of the transmitting device; the electric motor, feed circuits of the transmitting device and the pulse generator are connected to the second output of the switch.

Method of controlling fish behaviour / 2352111
Present invention relates to acoustic methods of stimulating motion behaviour of fish and can be used in industrial fishery and fish-breeding for attracting and concentrating fish in the area around fishing equipment with subsequent catching or for protection purposes for keeping fish in sections of a water body, favourable for growing and spawning until the of the growing and spawning period. The method of controlling fish behaviour involves generation and emission of information hydroacoustic signals in an aqueous medium, transmission of the signals to the fish and changing their behavioural characteristics. The information signals used are hydroacoustic signals with given spectral-energy and time parameters of sounds of physostomous fish in the 20-3000 Hz frequency range with sound pressure level of up to 10 Pa/1 m, depending on the species composition of the fish on which the signals are directed. Hydroacoustic information signals with given parameters act on the behaviour of fish on an unconditional-reflex level and arouses their adequate reaction to move to the sound source.
