On May 28th, the "standard sea" pilot zone, China's first modern ocean ranch, officially began operation in Aizhou, Zhuhai. Funded and developed by Zhuhai Ocean Development Group, the project marks a new era in Zhuhai's offshore aquaculture featuring standardized operations, intelligent equipment, and land-sea interaction.

The project pioneers a "standardized sea usage + cluster-based farming + land-sea interaction" model, supported by the independently developed intelligent systems of the Lingding Sea Ranch series. Centered on a one-square-kilometer marine unit, it follows a "1+N" modular approach to build standardized offshore zones, presenting a replicable and scalable "Zhuhai solution".

With a total investment of 120 million yuan, the pilot zone features fully self-developed smart cages, "Lingding Sea Ranch 1, 2, and 3", alongside 30 gravity-type fish cages. It includes three functional zones: comprehensive management, fully electric aquaculture, and gravity-based aquaculture. The ranch is equipped with cutting-edge capabilities, such as a hybrid wind-solar power system, unattended operation, remote control, intelligent warning systems, and water quality monitoring. Acting as the "brain" of the entire site, Lingding Sea Ranch 1 oversees operations, significantly boosting efficiency and cutting labor costs.

The project also adopts an integrated air-sea smart feeding system, combining automated feed machines with precision drone delivery to enhance energy efficiency throughout the process. Its core equipment has a 30-year lifespan and is built to withstand extreme ocean conditions. Some performance indicators have reached internationally advanced standards, supported by China's key national R&D programs.

中国首个现代化海洋牧场“标准海”样板区投产

5月28日，由珠海市海洋集团投资建设的现代化海洋牧场“标准海”样板区（隘洲）正式开园投产，标志着珠海深远海养殖迈入“标准化牧场、智能化装备、陆海联动”新阶段。

该项目首创“标准用海+集群养殖+岸海联动”体系，依托自主研发的“伶仃牧场”系列智能化装备，探索出一条可复制、可推广的“珠海方案”。项目以“一平方公里标准海”为核心，采取“1+N”模式，建设标准化海域单元。

“标准海”样板区投资达1.2亿元，搭载完全自主研发的“伶仃牧场1号、2号、3号”智能网箱和30口重力式网箱，涵盖综合管理、纯电养殖、重力养殖三大功能区，具备风光互补供能、无人值守、远程控制、智能预警、水质感知等高端功能。伶仃牧场1号还承担“智慧大脑”角色，统筹全场运营，显著提升养殖效率，降低人工成本。

此外，项目采用“空海一体”智能化投喂模式，将自动化投料系统与无人机精准投喂相结合，实现全流程节能降耗。核心装备具备30年寿命，可抵御极端海况，部分指标达国际先进水平，获国家重点研发项目支持。
