大菱鲆（Scophthalmus maximus L）的良种优势地位已在我国确立，工厂化养殖的初级模式已经形成并获得普遍推广；规模化养殖和成鱼市场的不断扩大，将我国推进到世界大菱鲆养殖和消费大国行列；“大菱鲆效应”对我国海水工厂化养殖发展和沿海“三农”经济的拉动作用很大，也为我国海水工业化养殖奠定了理论和实践基础；当前由大菱鲆养殖产业的迅速发展而带来的机遇和挑战，正推动着我国海水工厂化养鱼朝良种化、规范化、国产化全封闭式的高级阶段攀登。

With the development of turbot cultivation and market, turbot has been proved to be a high-quality species grown-out in China. After several-year practice, the primary intensive culture model has formed in the northern part of China. The production of turbot fries in the year 2004 is around 35 million and the commercial fish 20 thousand tonnes. As a result, China has become one of the largest countries in turbot culture and consumption in the world. Turbot culture industry has not only made great contribution to the development of marine culture industry and the littoral areas economy but also laid a theoretical and practical foundation for the intensive marine fish culture industry in China. Particularly, the accession of China to WTO brought new development opportunity for turbot culture. Those new ideas and objectives are driving the turbot culture industry into an updated stage, on which turbot will be developed in a standardized, large scale genetic breeding, the industry of special formula feeds with balanced nutrition, and the recirculation system.
