The artificial hatching of fish eggs is an important process that gives economists an advantage for farmers and a pleasure for breeders. The hatching rate and success rate in artificial hatching of these fish eggs can be increased by using appropriate hatching equipment and hatching conditions for each fish species. There are various kinds of artificial hatching apparatuses of fish eggs as such apparatuses. There are three types of apparatuses for artificial hatching of fish eggs. Eggmet and egg trays for hatching tacky eggs and conical hatching apparatus for hatching non-tacky eggs can be categorized. However, in recent years, in order to increase the yield of sticky algae, methods of hatching in a cone-shaped incubator after removal of sticky material have been developed, and the use of cone-shaped incubator is increasing.

McDonald's egg hatchery is the most commonly used conical hatching device as a typical aquaculture farmer and research device. The McDonald's artificial incubator consists of a cylindrical hatching tube and an inflow tube inserted into the hatching tube. An oxygen-rich water supplied to the inside of the hatching tube through the inflow tube flows oxygen to the fish, . However, such a hatching device necessarily requires an external water supply and water purification device for inflow of water having a certain temperature and appropriate water quality, and a drainage device capable of discharging circulated water is required. In addition, And there was a problem that it was impossible to install it directly in the water tank.
