Changes in the physiological and behavioral states of fish are affected by foreign substances. Therefore, fish need a certain adaptation period to eliminate the stress response. Herein, in order to determine the adaptation period, the bionic robot fish was used to obtain behavioral information about crucian carp, which was tested at five time points (1st, 7th, 14th, 21st and 28th day) within 28 days. First, the fear response and exploratory behavior of crucian carp affected by three-color bionic robot fish were explored. Then, according to the measurement results of the behavior, morphology, and feeding, and the physiological and biochemical properties of the crucian carp, a multi-parameter evaluation method was proposed to determine the adaptation period of the crucian carp under this monitoring mode. The results showed that more than 4 areas were occupied by crucian carp from the 21st day. From the 16th day, the number of crucian carp swimming with clear outlines gradually increased. The number of abnormal swimming occurrences decreased on day 13. More than 80% of the crucian carp body color returned to dark on the 23rd day. The crucian carp did not respond to food until day 19, when most of the crucian carp began to scramble for food. Food consumption reached more than two thirds on day 22. In addition, glucose and total protein leveled off after day 21, when mean hemoglobin levels were highest. Triglycerides showed a trend of first decreasing and then increasing. The pigmented area of the skin section gradually decreases and eventually stabilizes. In summary, it takes at least 23 days for the crucian carp to adapt to the influence of the bionic robot fish.
