海洋生物技术是面向21世纪的一场竞赛,美国基础科学委员会与美国科学技术委员会联合编写的报告《21世纪的生物技术:新地平线》中,列举了农业、环境生物技术、制造与生物加工和海洋生物技术与水产养殖四个优先发展的重点领域。美国国家科学基金委员会提出:“伴随着在海洋生物和生态系统中的生物技术、分子和细胞生物学等现代工具的深入应用,海洋科学的革命已经开始。预期这是一种根本性的变革,在速度上是按几何级数增长的,在科学和经济意义上是史无前例的。十年 Marine biotechnology is a contest for the 21st century. The report “Biotechnology in the 21st Century: New Horizons”, a report jointly prepared by the U.S. Basic Science Council and the U.S. Committee on Science and Technology, lists agricultural, environmental biotechnology, manufacturing and bioprocessing and Marine Biotechnology and Aquaculture four priority areas for development. The NSF said: "With the in-depth application of modern tools such as biotechnology, molecular and cell biology in marine organisms and ecosystems, the revolution in marine science has begun and it is expected that this will be a fundamental change, It grows geometrically according to its speed and is unprecedented in the scientific and economic sense.
