积极实施海洋鱼类的增殖与养殖是海洋鱼类资源合理开发和可持续利用的基本措施和有效途径。因此，建立和提高海洋鱼类增殖与养殖的新技术，是近年来海洋生物技术的重要研究领域之一。海洋鱼类的生殖内分泌生理学、生长与发育生物学、免疫学、分子生物学等是海洋鱼类增殖与养殖的理论基础；系统深入地开展这些学科的基础研究和应用基础研究，成为当前海洋鱼类科学技术的前沿和主要发展方向。

The implementation of proliferation and culture of marine fishes is the fundamental measure and effective avenue for the reasonable and sustainable exploitation of marine fish resources. Therefore, the establishment and development of modern techniques for the proliferation and culture of marine fishes is one of the important research areas in the marine biotechnology. The reproductive physiology and endocrinology, the growth and developmental biology, the immunology and the molecular biology are the theoretical basis of the proliferation and culture in marine fish. Deeply and systematically carrying out basic research and applied research of these disciplines nowadays has become the frontier and major research direction of the science and technology for marine fish.
