dc.description.abstract | Aquaculture supply from China has been a remedy to meet the growing global demand for
seafood in the last decades. However, output growth has decreased dramatically in China in the 2000s.
Previous literature focuses on the ecosystem problems arising in intensive farming in China. In this
study, we used stochastic production analysis (SPA) to estimate the technical efficiency of Chinese
large yellow croaker farming, which provides implications for impediments to the sustainable
development of Chinese aquaculture. Data were collected from 430 large yellow croaker farmers
in nine farming areas located along the coastline of southeastern China. The technical efficiency of
large yellow croak farming is estimated to be 0.829, suggesting that farming is operated close to the
production frontier with a maximal margin of 17% for improvement under the current technology.
It further suggests that Chinese aquaculture growth is geared by conventional factors, expansion
of fishing sites, and intensive farming, and is not sustainable under the constraint of farming areas
and environmental problems in China. For the sustainable development of Chinese aquaculture,
it is necessary to adopt new technology through innovation. The family-based farming model is
a hinder to adopting new technology that requires systematic significant investment. Large-scale
industrialized farming based on research and new technology development thus should be a modern
trend in the future. | en_US |
