This chapter will excavate the situation of the seahorse industry and the main problems existing in the development of the industry, and put forward corresponding suggestions, so as to provide reference for the development of the seahorse industry in Shandong Province, so as to promote the rapid development of marine biomedicine in Shandong Province.
Advantages and problems of seahorse industry in Shandong Province
The seahorse industry in Shandong Province has developed rapidly and has four major advantages.
Location advantage. The stable sea area and wetland ecosystem store superior water quality, and the unique geographical environment advantage breeds abundant aquatic species resources.
*: China Institute of Machinery).
Policy advantages. **Increase the support of the seahorse industry, highlight the technical difficulties of the stuck neck, and promote the development of the seahorse industry chain. With the successful development of the seahorse breeding industry, people's consumption upgrading and higher pursuit of health, the seahorse industry has ushered in unprecedented development opportunities, and the future development of the seahorse industry will be promising.
Scientific research advantages. Shandong Province, especially Shandong University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ocean University of China and other universities and scientific research institutes in the field of marine Chinese medicine in the field of scientific research strength in the forefront of the country, has the only national marine Chinese medicine field in the field of high-level traditional Chinese medicine key discipline of the State Administration of traditional Chinese medicine, the State Drug Administration Marine Chinese medicine quality research and evaluation key laboratory, as well as Shandong Province key discipline of traditional Chinese medicine marine Chinese medicine, Shandong Provincial Key Laboratory of Marine Chinese medicine in colleges and universities, etc., in the marine Chinese medicine discipline connotation and standard construction, It is in a leading position in the field in terms of theoretical research and method innovation of medicinal properties of marine traditional Chinese medicine, and ranks in the forefront of the same field in the country in terms of high-level number and citation frequency, which can provide scientific research and technical services for the development of the seahorse industry.
Platform advantages. On November 15, 2023, the Haima Industry Branch of China Aquatic Products Circulation and Processing Association was established in Xiamen, Shandong Weihai Yinze Biotechnology Co., Ltd. was the first branch president unit, and Shandong Dongying Kuohai Seafood Science and Technology Co., Ltd. was the secretary-general unit of the branch, focusing on industrial research, the establishment of technical standard system, the exchange and cooperation of practitioners, industrial publicity and guidance, etc., providing a national industrial exchange and development platform for the standardized development of the seahorse industry in Shandong Province.
With the rapid development of seahorse breeding industry in Shandong Province, some problems have also emerged.
At present, the development of the swollen seahorse industry of many enterprises is still in the period of population expansion, and most of the breeding enterprises are still in the stage of introduction, seed preservation and multiplication. The consumer market for artificially bred species (swollen hippocampus) has not yet been fully opened, and its upstream and downstream industrial chains have not yet been fully formed.
Although there have been a lot of research reports on seahorse breeding technology, such as germplasm degradation, breeding and reproduction, bait nutrition research, disease prevention and control, etc., there are still many difficult problems to be solved.
According to the Chinese Pharmacopoeia, seahorse varieties are now in a state of scarcity of resources, and artificially bred seahorse varieties (distended-bellied seahorses) have achieved large-scale factory breeding, but they have not yet been included in the "Regulations on the Management of the Catalogue of Substances that are Traditional Both Food and Chinese Medicinal Materials" issued by the National Health Commission, which greatly restricts the research and development, clinical application and market sales of its products.
The technology of hippocampal variety identification, storage and preservation technology and product quality control technology is insufficient, and the market of Chinese herbal medicines is easy to mix with fake and shoddy sources, such as mildew and deterioration, foreign body addition, use and resale.
Although the regional brand of seahorse breeding has been formed, the characteristic varieties and the social awareness of their brands are not enough, and the market orientation is still uncertain.
The seahorse industry has just started, and has not yet formed a complete industrial chain of breeding, research and development, and sales, and the medicinal properties and efficacy of non-Chinese Pharmacopoeia seahorse varieties are not clear, the material basis and mechanism of action are not studied in depth enough, and the developed products are very limited, and the scientific research content of the products is low, and the added value is not high.
Suggestions on the development strategy of seahorse industry in Shandong Province
In view of the above problems, combined with the advantages and characteristics of the development of the seahorse industry in Shandong Province, the following suggestions are put forward.
In-depth research on seahorse artificial breeding technology, further improve seahorse seed breeding, healthy breeding and disease prevention and control technology, and expand the scale of artificial cultivation of seahorses; At the same time, it is also necessary to strengthen the research and development of hippocampal breeding and breeding technology in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia, and develop the introduction and breeding of new varieties.
It is recommended to set up a special fund to conduct in-depth research on the sexual effect of non-Chinese Pharmacopoeia seahorse varieties (distended hippocampus, etc.), and compare them with the Chinese Pharmacopoeia seahorse varieties, based on scientific research data analysis, whether the artificially cultivated and expanded artificially cultivated and expanded varieties (distended hippocampus, etc.) can be included in the local medicinal material standards of Shandong Province as seahorse medicinal materials. Shandong Province Traditional Chinese Medicine Decoction Piece Processing Specification", as well as the National Food and Drug Quality Catalogue "According to the Regulations on the Management of the Catalogue of Substances that are Both Food and Chinese Medicinal Materials in Tradition" and the "Chinese Pharmacopoeia", in order to standardize and rationalize the use of artificially bred varieties of distended hippocampus.
Establish relevant service platforms, organize and hold various publicity activities, strengthen the publicity of drug knowledge and legal awareness, and strengthen the responsibility supervision and regulatory publicity and implementation measures in the purchase and use of drugs.
Build the Haima brand, build the culture of the Haima industry, expand the influence of the Haima industry, establish a responsible corporate image and high-end health product image, and guide leading enterprises to play a leading role in radiation to ensure product quality.
We will continue to strengthen the basic theoretical research on the technologies related to the deep processing of hippocampus, deeply explore the potential nutritional and medicinal value of hippocampus, and clarify the structure-activity relationship of functional factors, so as to provide a theoretical basis for maximizing the high-value and high-quality utilization of hippocampus resources and the research and development of hippocampus products.
Cooperate with relevant scientific research institutes to carry out the research and development of biomedical and health care products for breeding seahorses, vigorously develop the deep processing industry of seahorses, increase the research and development of marine traditional Chinese medicine and preparations such as seahorses, promote the development and utilization of seahorse resources and the transformation of scientific research achievements, actively build a full-value industrial chain of marine traditional Chinese medicine resources, enhance the added value of seahorse breeding, establish a whole industrial chain from seahorse resource breeding, product research and development to market sales, and establish a model seahorse industry demonstration base in Shandong.
