Construction concept and technology of the marine ranching mode of the whole life history of fishes

The marine ranching is a new type of marine fishery production and the leisure marine ranching is an important component. This paper reviews the research and development status of the recreational sea-fishing marine ranching. On account of the shortage of adult fish replenishment in China’s recreational sea-fishing marine ranching, the concept of “spawning-larvae and juvenile fish-young fish-adult fish” is proposed as the protection chain, to build the conception and related technologies of the marine ranching mode of the whole life history of fishes. This can finish the fish life history in the same marine ranching area, and also can recover fish resources, and increase biodiversity. The new marine ranching mode plays a demonstration role for the development of recreational sea-fishing marine ranching. This new type of marine ranching is proposed based on the construction of recreational fishing marine ranching, but its concept is also applicable to the construction of conservation and resource-proliferation marine ranching with other concentrated biological species that can complete their entire life history or most of their life history.
