| Quality and Sustainable
Development in Mariculture |
| Key Laboratory of Experimental
Marine Biology, CAS, is the first ministry-level research facility in marine
science in China. It focuses on resources exploration and sustainable utilization
in mariculture; issues and scopes are selection and safekeeping of strains,
growth control to reproductive biology, genomics and bioinformatics, marine
biotechnology, disease treatment and prevention, and natural bio-products
R&D for pharmaceutical application. Many national major projects have
been conducted in the laboratory, including “973 Project”, “863
Project”, Pandeng Project, and other key programs of National Natural
Science Foundation. Scientists in the laboratory brought forward an artificial-controlling
theory for development and reproduction of mariculture species, providing
a scientific basis for strain improvement and inheritance operation, which
deepened the understanding at molecular scale of disease control and immunization.
In addition, they successfully built up a model for filtrating lead compounds
from natural marine matters, which enhanced macroalgae gene-transfer system,
and opened up new ways of making new drugs from marine organisms; established
a core collection for mariculture species for keeping strain quality. These
advanced scientific and technological achievements have led the blue industry
in China as well as in the world in mariculture, and contributed greatly
to sustainable development in marine economy and society. |
