Construction of Ecological Tidal Flat Ranch and Research Prospect

Abstract

At present,the utilization of living marine resources needs transition and upgrading.It is particularly important to expand the area of marine ranching under the background of marine ranching development in China.In this study,we summarize the utilization status of coastal bioresources,and point out that the utilization of tidal flat resources mainly relying on traditional mudflat bivalve culture should be changed.Therefore,in order to protect and breed tidal flat organisms,the construction of tidal flat ranching by engineering technology under the guidance of ecological principles should be carried out.Tidal flat ranch can be classified into four categorizes based on their ecosystem types,including tidal flat mollusk,oyster reef,seagrass bed and mangrove.In addition,the key technology for site selection,seed breeding,environmental monitoring,ecological carrying capacity evaluation and efficient harvesting should be developed when constructing the tidal flat ranching.On this basis,the construction of coastal ecological farm which includes saline land ranch,tidal flat ranch and marine ranch will be an important direction of marine ranching
