GUANGZHOU, November 20 (Xinhua) — A state-of-the-art aquaculture vessel was commissioned Wednesday in Zhanjiang City, Guangdong Province, China's economic hub. The high-end vessel, Zhanjiang Bay No. 1, is designed to boost the country's aquaculture industry.
Zhanjiang Bay No.1 is a floating cage-type aquaculture vessel with dynamic positioning, the world's first vessel of its kind that combines efficiency, mobility and intelligent operation.
It is 154 meters long, 44 meters wide, and has a total aquaculture capacity of 80,000 cubic meters. With 12 independent fish-rearing zones, the vessel allows for the simultaneous farming of several species. Annual aquaculture production is projected to range from 2,000 to 5,000 tons.
According to the vessel's chief designer, Chen Xiao of the Guangdong South Marine Science and Engineering Laboratory (Zhanjiang), the vessel is equipped with cutting-edge technologies such as autonomous navigation, typhoon emergency prevention, and self-sufficiency in green energy. Furthermore, the vessel is equipped with an intelligent feed delivery system, net cleaning, monitoring, and wireless data transmission.
Chen Xiao noted that the vessel reduces costs and improves the quality of deep-sea mariculture through natural water exchange. It can operate at low power in waters deeper than 100 meters, expanding the possibilities for aquaculture operations.
Chinese Academy of Sciences academician Gui Jianfang emphasized that this vessel is a pioneer in the development of mariculture in China, expanding its space from shallow coastal waters to the deep sea. -0-
