In order to observe the attraction effects of the artificial reef models on Alepocephalus, the behavior and distribution of Alepocephalus in the experimental flume under the presence of five reef models with different shapes and structures were studied using experimental ethology method, and the attraction effects of different reef models were compared. The results indicate that the distribution of Alepocephalus is rather dispersed when no reef model is put into the marked area of the flume, and they prefer to stay in relatively dark area. In this case, the Alepocephalus distribution ratio of the reef marked area is 7%. When reef models are put into the marked area, Alepocephalus shows obvious positive taxis to them. And the Alepocephalus distribution ratio of the reef marked area increased to a level between 16 % and 29 %. In addition, the apertured cubical reef model shows the best attraction effect with a distribution ratio of 29 %.
