Truben Scientific Research Center leads innovation in aquaculture technology, with multiple group standards driving industry upgrades.
2025-10-22
Recently, the Truben Research Center achieved significant breakthroughs in smart aquaculture, sea grape cultivation, and green preservation technologies. It also played a key role in drafting and promoting the release and implementation of several group standards, providing crucial technical support for the standardization and intelligent development of the modern aquaculture industry.
1. Smart Aquaculture Technology Standards Officially Released
The "Technical Specification for Smart Aquaculture" (T/CIET 859-2024), drafted with the participation of the Truben Science and Research Center, was officially implemented in December 2024. This standard outlines the environmental requirements, system hardware and software configurations, equipment selection criteria, and smart farming guidelines specifically tailored for smart aquaculture applications in earthen ponds. It mandates that aquaculture sites comply with the regulations outlined in NY/T 3616, while water quality must meet the standards set forth in NY/T 5361. Additionally, the standard provides detailed specifications for the installation of oxygenation and feeding systems. Notably, this standard innovatively introduces intelligent solutions such as water monitoring systems, automated feeding systems, and remote control systems. These technologies work seamlessly together via a cloud platform, wireless communication devices, and video surveillance systems, enabling real-time collection and intelligent management of key water-quality parameters.
2. The seaweed grape technology system achieves a breakthrough in standardization.
In the area of specialty aquaculture cultivation, the Truben Research Center spearheaded the development of two standards: "Shenzhen-Style Ready-to-Eat Fresh Sea Grapes" and "Technical Specifications for Offshore Hanging Cultivation of Shenzhen-Style Sea Grapes," establishing comprehensive technical guidelines that cover the entire industry chain—from farming to processing.
Sea grapes, scientifically known as Caulerpa lentillifera, are a large, marine green algae that grow as sprawling plants. Their spherical branchlets are densely packed along the upright main axes, giving them a grape-like appearance. Renowned for their unique texture and rich nutritional value, they are often hailed as "green caviar."
The standard specifies the cultivation environment, hanging-season requirements, hanging-facility specifications, and technical guidelines for sea grapes. It mandates that hanging cultivation be carried out annually from March to November in Shenzhen and coastal seawater farming areas in Guangdong Province, maintaining the seaweed at a water depth of 0.5–1 meter below the surface. Additionally, it outlines detailed methods for cultivation management, disease prevention, and water quality monitoring.
During the processing stage, the standard outlines the production process for ready-to-eat fresh sea grapes, which includes steps such as manual stem removal, disinfection and cleaning, ultrasonic washing, centrifugal dehydration, and packaging—ensuring that the product quality meets food safety standards.
3. Innovative Achievements Made in Green and Low-Carbon Preservation Technology
The Truben Science and Research Center has proposed innovative preservation and storage solutions in the two standards: "Technical Requirements for Green and Low-Carbon Preservation and Storage of Edible Agricultural Products" and "Requirements for Storage, Transportation, and Quality & Safety Testing of Fresh Aquatic Products."
These standards establish an evaluation index system across five dimensions: resource attributes, energy attributes, environmental attributes, carbon attributes, and effectiveness attributes, providing technical guidelines for the green and low-carbon preservation of edible agricultural products such as fruits, vegetables, meat, and seafood. In particular, regarding the storage and transportation of fresh aquatic products, the standards meticulously outline technical requirements for aspects like temporary rearing environments, transportation conditions, temperature control, and quality management, significantly enhancing both the survival rate and freshness of aquatic products.
4. Industry Impact and Future Outlook
The Truben Science and Research Center played a critical role in providing key technological support throughout the development of these standards, showcasing the center's robust R&D capabilities in aquaculture technology innovation. The implementation of these standards will effectively drive the aquaculture industry toward standardization, intelligent operations, and sustainable, low-carbon practices, thereby offering vital technical assurance for the sector's high-quality growth.
In the future, Truben Science and Research Center will continue to deepen its focus on key technological research in aquaculture, driving innovation outcomes toward the transformation into industry standards. We are committed to leveraging technology to propel industrial advancement, using standards to empower healthier lifestyles, and contributing to the high-quality development of modern fisheries—ultimately safeguarding food safety and nutritional well-being for countless households.
