Abstract:

Over the last 4 decades, the aquaculture in China has made significant progress, and is becoming one of industries developed fast in among broad\|sense agriculture. Since seed production is the source and essential material basis for aquaculture, it is proved to be the core issue of aquaculture industry. This paper reviewed the development process of young seed industry in aquaculture of China. The initiate seeds for cultivation came from wild population undoubtedly; the true seed industry did not appear until the success of domestication for parent fish, breeding under artificial conditions and seeding in large scale. The introduction of good foreign seeds can accelerate the formation of new industry. Artificial breeding is a continuous breeding practice, which is based on the formulation of a certain seed industry with large scale artificial breeding, especially under the condition of complete artificial propagation, and carries out seed selection by successive generations according to the willingness and direction of the people. Since the 1990's, the aquaculture in China has attracted considerable attention and moved towards a healthy development particularly in mariculture. The paper also commented on the trends of related technology in modern aquaculture seed industry, and predicted that technological innovation would dramatically promote the development of aquaculture seed industry.
