Research on Aquaculture in China

Zhou, Ang and Wang, Dong and Wang, Di (2013): Research on Aquaculture in China.

Abstract

This paper analyzes the state and conditions of aquaculture in South China Sea both from technological and economic perspectives. We state from the basic marginal cost analysis and construct a two sector model for this issue. Base on the comparison on the cost between aquaculture sector and traditional agricultural sector, we conclude that China has a big potential in aquaculture and the government should impulse this industry by necessary policy instrument.
