    This paper reviews the research in nutrition and feed development in aquaculture animals in recent years, and analyzes the problem and future development of feed industry. In past 10 years, great advances have been achieved in aquaculture animal nutrient requirements, feeding, larval feed, broodstock nutrition, additives etc. But there are still some problems regarding aquafeed including high feed conversion ratio, high environmental discharge, high feed cost and unstable profit. In the near future, the research and development of aquaculture nutrition and feed should focus on “high efficiency, safety, economic and environmental neutral”. New concepts from ecology and genomics technologies should be applied in the study on molecular mechanism of nutrition and metabolism, nutrient requirements and accurate feed and feeding, feed quality control and processing, animal quality regulation, etc. The government should provide more opportunities for cooperation between scientists from different areas and long term support.

    Based on the analysis of the present situation and problems in application of Internet of Things(IoT) technology in Chinese aquaculture, this paper puts forward some key technical issues and policy suggestions for the development of the IoT. At the moment, IoT technology has been used in the aquaculture industry for water quality monitoring, breeding area monitoring and management, livestock germination monitoring, aquaculture product storage and transport, and supervision of processing procedures. During this early development stage, China is faced with a number of challenges in the application of this technology, including: Backward extensive aquaculture practice and poor infrastructures; lack of advanced equipment and unified standards; and the need of large sum investment and high costs. A number of key technological issues should be solved in order to improve IoT application in this industry, including: precise aquaculture sensor technology for precise breeding simulation technology, precise intelligent control technology for aquaculture equipment, precise aquaculture management technology, and precise integrated production technology for large-scale aquaculture. Finally, this paper makes suggestions to relevant government agencies on the formulation of an comprehensive development plan for China aquaculture IoT technology to enhance industrial informatization and optimize the application facilities for IoT, initiate a research and development program for precise aquaculture environmental sensor technology, advance the implementation of aquaculture IoT demonstration projects, and upgrade the government’s capacity for promoting the commercialization of aquaculture IoT.

    Paddy field fish culture is a traditional integrated aquaculture method. During the past few years, many new integrated rice-fish aquaculture modes focusing on high-valued aquatic species have been adopted and resulted in significant economic, social and ecological results. In order to extend the experiences of integrated rice-fish aquaculture, the author presented two typical approaches for integrated rice-fish aquaculture in Hubei Province. The crayfish-rice co-culture has an average net profit of over 3 000 RMB for per acre, which is 3~4 times the profit of single rice planting. The turtle-crayfish-fish-rice aquaculture has an average net profit of nearly 10 000 planting. This paper also puts forward some suggestions for strengthening the industry, including enlarging planting and farming space, promoting industrial convergence and strengthening policy support.

    On November 19, 2015, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the “all fish” growth hormone (gh) transgenic Atlantic salmon for public consumption, which is significant as this species is the first genetically engineered livestock approved for human consumption and is considered as breakthrough of transgenic livestock breeding research and livestock industrialization. The US FDA made this landmark decision after 20 years rigorous bio-safety assessment of the transgenic salmon. This development reveals that all the management decisions in pursuing innovation in industry should follow the scientific method and be based on objective facts. It also reveals that basic research is one of the factors involved in industrial innovation. Both the scientific research behind the creation of this transgenic product and the active participation of the business sector have become increasingly important components for promoting the development of new high-level technologies and innovative industries. Furthermore, it is an urgent demand to strategically make the regulation and standardize its industrialization guidelines for agricultural genetically modified organisms.

    Based on patent retrieval and analysis with the Thomson Innovation (TI) database, the international development trend of recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) is investigated. The current international research and development focus for RAS are purification technology, aquarium structure, water temperature control, and biological filters and filter devices. Meanwhile, China has focused on fish tank and pond design, biological filters, RAS devices, oxygen supply and motor shaft, etc. Though some of the international research focus in RAS are new for China, the number of Chinese patents is greater than the international average and has grown rapidly in recent years, indicating a positive developmental trend in the near future. This paper provides recommendations for improving efficiency, quality, safety, and environmental protection of sustainable aquaculture as well as further measures for the development of RAS in China.
