Discover China's Genghai No. 1 marine ranching project aimed at restoring ecosystems and promoting sustainable marine resource management.

China is the world's top fish consumer and is spending billions on technology designed to restock the oceans. But will this expensive experiment actually work?

**Genghai No 1 ili u prijevodu s kineskog Morska žetva br. 1 je sveobuhvatni morski kompleks, tj. jedna neobična morska farma jedinstvena po tome što akvakulturu kombinira s turizmom.** Primarno je namijenmjena uzgoj u ribe, no provode se ovdje i znanstvena istraživanja, pa čak je koriste i za rekreaciju. Ovaj visokotehnološki kompleks koristi umjetnu inteligenciju, podvodne robote i sonare za obavljanje svih svojih dužnosti. Opremljen je automatskim sustavima za hranjenje ribe i trima kavezima koji mogu proizvesti do **150 tisuća kilograma ribe** godišnje. Uzgajaju se različite vrste riba, škampi, ali i morske alge. Umjetna tehnologija i podvodni roboti ključni su i za automatsko čišćenje kaveza, praćenje okoliša, ali i sprječavanje sudara na moru, prenosi Pun kufer. Genghai NO 1 uz sve nabrojano pretvorio se i u turističku atrakciju – rad ovog kompleksa godišnje posjeti oko 50 tisuća pojedinaca. Turisti koji ovu neobičnu morsku farmu posjete mogu otkriti kako funkcionira cijeli ovaj kompleksni sustav, mogu uživati u prekrasnom pogledu, mogu probati i sami uhvatiti koju ribu, ali i probati uzgojenu ribu jer ovdje naravno postoji i kantina. > A batch of oplegnathus punctatus was lifted out of the cage at the platform of the "Genghai No1" marine pasture in east #China's Yantai, Shandong.

Our oceans, vast and teeming with life, have long supported our planet’s food chains and cultures. However, they are now under threat like never before. The pervasive issue of overfishing has pushed many of the world’s fish stocks to the...

A short ferry ride from Yantai, a port city on China's northeast coast, sits Gengai No. 1, a ring of 12,000-metric-ton oil-rig-style steel platforms advertised as a hotel and entertainment complex. Genghai is actually an unusual tourist destination, breeding 200,000 "high-quality marine fish" every year. Most are released into the ocean as part of a process known as marine farming.
