Scientists in the aquatic seed industry share their passion and discuss the road to sustainable development of the industry

Academician Gui Jianfang made a report titled "Fish Precision Breeding and New Breeding Blueprint", summarizing the five existing effective fish genetic breeding technologies Modern precision breeding can achieve precise breeding purposes and precise technical paths. Academician Chen Songlin, with the title of "Biotechnological Innovation of Marine Fish Boosts the Development of Seed Industry", introduced the success of sex-controlled breeding technology in the semi-smooth tongue sole, and will continue to target marine fish such as flounder sole to extend the genome selective breeding technology to For other important farmed fish, it will provide new technical means for the breeding of disease-resistant and high-yield varieties of fish and the development of the seed industry, and promote the rapid development of my country's fish seed industry.

He Jianguo, Professor of Sun Yat-sen University, Chief Scientist of National Shrimp and Crab Industrial Technology System, Chief Scientist of National Algae Industrial Technology System, Scientist of Wakame Germplasm Resources Collection and Breeding Pang Shaojun, Researcher of Yellow Sea Fisheries Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Fishery Sciences, National Marine Fish Industry Technology Ma Aijun, a system post scientist, Chang Yaqing, professor of Dalian Ocean University, director of the Northern Key Laboratory of Marine Aquaculture of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, Zou Guiwei, director of the Yangtze River Fisheries Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Fishery Sciences, and a post scientist of the National Bulk Freshwater Fish Industry Technology System, Chinese Academy of Sciences Liu Baozhong, a post scientist at the Research Institute of Oceanographic Research Institute and the National Shellfish Industry Technology System, has successively made innovations, development status, and germplasm resources in the breeding of shrimps and crabs, algae, marine fish, echinoderms, bulk freshwater fish, and tidal flat shellfish in my country. , and international comparisons, and put forward relevant suggestions on the use of biotechnology and data technology, exploring institutional innovations, and promoting joint breeding.

"Politics, Production, Learning, and Research" Collaboration Helps Aquatic "Chip" Business

Academician Gui Jianfang mentioned in an interview with HIgentec Biology that the most important challenge facing the aquatic seed industry is to select the right species and have a clear breeding purpose. The first is to solve the problem of breeding new varieties, then the protection and preservation of varieties after new varieties are cultivated, and the third is to mass-produce healthy seedlings and promote breeding. In recent years, enterprises in the aquatic seed industry have gradually begun to make efforts in the direction of new breed cultivation, including the establishment of branches to meet the opportunities and challenges. Combining breeding experts with companies engaged in the seed industry, promoting the new breeds in a timely manner, and ensuring the health of the seedlings, can lead the development of the entire aquaculture.

Academician Chen Songlin also said in the interview that the CPC Central Committee and the State Council attach great importance to the seed industry, and it has become a major national strategic need to fight the seed industry. , all of which provide the best development opportunity ever for the seed industry. But at the same time, it also faces the problem of insufficient collection and preservation of germplasm resources, especially the unclear genetic background, weak basic research, and insufficient breeding innovation, all of which limit the development of the seed industry and the cultivation of breakthrough new varieties. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out basic research on breeding around these propositions, attach importance to technological innovation, cultivate more excellent varieties to serve the seed industry, and provide excellent seed guarantee and support for the development of the seed industry. The establishment of the branch is at the right time, in line with the needs of national and industrial development, and the status quo of "there is no job" in the aquatic seed industry will be improved with the establishment of the branch. In the past, the development of the aquatic seed industry and the management of seedling production lacked the management of industry associations, which often led to irregular problems in the use, promotion, and propagation of improved varieties. The establishment of the branch will make the management and production of seedlings more standardized, and strengthen breeding. The management of promotion and breeding is more conducive to the green and high-quality development of my country's aquatic products.

In the interview of Aquaculture Network, the secretary general of the branch, Professor Gong Qingli, said that the branch not only received the full support of the six domestic aquaculture academicians and the competent national authorities, but also received positive responses from some domestic leading enterprises in the industry. For example, HIgentec Biotechnology Co., Ltd., which will serve as the executive chairman, is an innovative and open company founded by CITIC Group, Longping Hi-Tech and other units under the advocacy of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, with the support of the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Science and Technology and other relevant ministries and commissions. A high-tech R&D innovation platform enterprise shared by the seed industry. In the future, the aquaculture seed industry will participate in a lot of work, whether it is the traditional cross-breeding from the cellular and molecular level to the gene level.
