Developed deep-sea aquaculture vessel handed over for deployment in Qingdao, China
Revised Article:
Holy cow, check out this badass deep-sea intelligent aquaculture vessel that rolled into Qingdao, China on April 17, 2025! Dubbed the "Guoxin 1-2-1," this state-of-the-art, 150,000-tonne monstrosity is about to shake up the offshore aquaculture game like never before.
This ain't your grandma's fish farm, folks. The Guoxin 1-2-1 is all about modernizing marine fisheries and transitioning them into more advanced, intelligent practices. With the traditional fishery resources dwindling and nearshore aquaculture facing environmental challenges, this vessel is here to save the day.
But this bad boy doesn't stop at just modernizing – it's going industrial! With its 15 large aquaculture cabins, 4 circular tanks, and 22 experimental tanks, it's ready to rear some high-value fish species like a boss. And with over 160 new technical innovations on board, the Guoxin 1-2-1 is bringing automation to the next level, with systems for feeding, harvesting, and processing humming along at an incredible 90% automation rate.
The vessel also sports some eye-catching features like a photovoltaic power generation system and optimized seawater exchange systems. And let's not forget about its autonomous navigation and deep-water intake systems – they're there to help the vessel navigate natural disasters and optimize the aquaculture environment like a pro.
So, how much fish can this beast churn out in a year? Well, hold onto your hats, because the Guoxin 1-2-1 is expected to produce approximately 3,600 metric tons of high-quality fish annually, with a focus on species like large yellow croaker, salmonids, and amberjack.
In short, the Guoxin 1-2-1 is a game-changer for the aquaculture industry. It's sustainable, efficient, and ready to bring industrial-scale offshore aquaculture to China like never before. So, let's all raise a glass to the future of fish farming – it's gonna be lit!
The Guoxin 1-2-1 is set to revolutionize aquaculture, not only in Qingdao, Shandong, but across China by 2025, marking a significant leap in environmental-science and technology. This colossal, 150,000-tonne vessel is adorned with an aerial photovoltaic power generation system, embodying the fusion of advanced science and sustainable aquaculture practices.
The ship boasts a fleet of 15 large aquaculture cabins, 4 circular tanks, and 22 experimental tanks, targeting the rearing of high-value fish species such as large yellow croaker, salmonids, and amberjack. This industrial-scale offshore aquaculture endeavor is anticipated to generate approximately 3,600 metric tons of high-quality fish yearly.
The Guoxin 1-2-1's technological innovations stretch beyond traditional aquaculture, with systems for feeding, harvesting, and processing operating at an impressive 90% automation rate, signifying the future of the industry. Its autonomous navigation and deep-water intake systems are designed to negotiate natural disasters and optimize the aquaculture environment.
The scientific community in Shandong is eagerly awaiting the environmental outcomes of this novel approach to aquaculture, expecting it to set a new standard for the industry, thus heralding a new era in sustainable offshore aquaculture.
