RESEARCH
Research Interests:
My research focuses on aquaculture ecology, such as, optimal environment conditions for individual growth and response to environment factor variation of cultural organisms, the principle and techniques of water quality management, the structure and function of aquaculture ecosystems, the interaction between aquaculture and environment, and economic ecology in aquaculture.
Specific Research Directions:
1. Research and application of clean and efficient mariculture technology in seawater ponds
Since late 1980's, mariculture in ponds developed rapidly in China, however, the traditional model of high-density, monoculture in ponds led to significantly negative impacts on water environment due to low feed efficiency.Therefore, developing healthy mariculture models in seawater ponds, improving feed efficiency and reducing pollution have become country's prior demands.
During 1993-2008 based on basic research we developed and optimized integrated aquaculture models of shrimp, sea cucumber, fish and swimming crab in ponds, established the techniques of water pollution control and disease prevention ecologically, achieved the win-win benefits of economic and environmental efficiencies in order to provid key technology support for sustainable development of mariculture in ponds.
The main innovations of this project include: ⑴ methodologically developed land-based experimental enclosures, mesocosm system, overcame the defects of the distortion ofexperimental aquarium and uniformity of experimental ponds, lead the field experiment in pond to repeatable and testable. ⑵ Based on three strategies (Waste reclamation through trophic relationship between integrated species, Water quality maintenance through complementary functions between culture organisms or sub-systems, Making full use of the resources through different ecological niche species) built and optimized 17 integrated aquaculturestructures. For example, 1:1.3:8.3 structure of shrimp-green clam-Gracilariaresulted in shrimp production increasingby 18.5%, N utilization rate increasingby 48%, output/put ratio increasingby 39%. ⑶ Discovered that the resting eggs of zooplankton could carry and spread WSSV, invented the enclosed fence andcut off WSSV transmission paths to prevent shrimp disease ecologically.⑷ developed systematically water quality control techniques by filter feeding fish, bivalves and macroalgae, inventednet-isolated polyculture of tilapia and shrimp, by which the shrimp production improvedsignificantly. These technologies have been extended to many regions in China,obtained great economic, ecological and social benefits.This project gained the second prize for the National Science and Technology Advancement in 2012.
2. Studies and application of aquaculture technology in saline-alkaline ponds. There are more than 33 million hectares of saline-alkaline soil land in China, of which more than 6.7 million hectares are low-lying saline-alkaline soil land. Exploitation of this part of land resources is one of the national major demands. Some of the techniques are successful to exploit the low-lying saline-alkaline soil land, however, theireconomic results are less than ideal. Our laboratory has implemented the dike-pond terrace system and water control technology in order to reduce soil salinity and alkalinity of the terraceand to culture fishes in ponds successfully.
This technology developed in the project include mainly: implement the dike-pond terrace system, develop integrated technologies to control water quality, evaluate more than 10 kinds of cultured organisms on tolerance to salinity and alkalinity, optimize aquaculture structures and fresh-water saving techniques and so on. Application of these technologies improved soil quality and water quality significantly. The crop productionson terrace were more than 12,000kg/ha, and fish productions in ponds reached 7,500kg/ha, achieving a double harvest of agriculture and aquaculture. These technologies have been extended to 8 provinces in China,obtained great economic and social benefits.
This project gained the second prize for the National Science and Technology Advancement in 2006.
