“…The spatial lag value is incorporated into the traditional Markov chain, and k × k order probability transition matrices are constructed. The spatial lag value of province i is calculated as follows: (11) In Equation (11), Lag is the spatial lag value of neighboring provinces, x i is the marine green aquaculture efficiency of province i, and W ij is the spatial weight matrix. The spatial weight value is determined using the adjacency criterion, that is, if province i and province j are adjacent, W ij = 1; otherwise, W ij = 0.…”

“…As early as the beginning of this century, aquaculture was included in the organic regulations of the European Union, and with the passage of time, the standards of aquatic products have been continuously improved and relevant regulations have been gradually improved [8,9]. The United States mainly accelerates the green transformation of mariculture from two aspects: improving the quality and safety guarantee system of aquatic products and promoting the development of an intelligent industrial chain [10,11]. Japan mainly explores the green transformation model of mariculture from the two aspects of realizing the integration of production, university, research, and application and improving the monitoring technology and system of mariculture [12,13].…”

It is imperative to achieve the high-quality development of fisheries and green transformation of mariculture. Based on the data of marine aquaculture fisheries in China from 2006 to 2019, this research uses the Super-SBM (Slacks-Based Measure) model to measure the efficiency of marine green aquaculture in China and analyzes the regional gap, evolution trend, and driving factors of marine green aquaculture efficiency in nine coastal provinces in China. The results are as follows: (1) The Super-SBM measurement results showed that the efficiency of marine green aquaculture in China showed a fluctuating upward trend from 2006 to 2019. The results of nuclear density estimation and Dagum Gini coefficient show that there is an obvious regional gap in the efficiency of marine green aquaculture in China, and the regional gap is increasing with time. The Dagum Gini coefficient decomposition results show that inter-regional differences and supervariable density differences were the main sources of marine green aquaculture efficiency. The results of barycentric elliptic standard deviation show that the gravity center of marine green aquaculture efficiency in China shifted to the south from 2006 to 2019, indicating that the efficiency of marine green aquaculture in southern China has had a high degree of improvement. (2) The spatial Markov chain results show that spatial proximity plays a key role in the state transfer of marine green aquaculture efficiency. The higher the efficiency of marine green aquaculture in neighboring provinces, the greater the effect on improving the efficiency of marine green aquaculture in the province. The state transfer of marine green aquaculture efficiency usually occurs between similar horizontal states, and there is less “leapfrog” transfer. (3) The results of the geographic detector show that the number of professional mariculture practitioners is the core driving factor and plays a leading role in the regional gap in the efficiency of marine green aquaculture in China. The explanatory power of the interaction of the two factors on the regional gap of marine green aquaculture efficiency is more than 90%, which is much higher than the explanatory power of a single factor. The regional gap of marine green aquaculture efficiency is the result of multiple driving factors.

This paper analyzes the financial feasibility of an open ocean sea bass farm that employs Innovasea technology in the offshore French Mediterranean Sea. Innovasea technology uses a suite of sensors, enhanced artificial intelligence and other advanced offshore technology to reduce labor costs, increase production, and lower environmental sensitivities related to fish medication and pesticides, fish mortality, excess feed losses, parasitic infections, and lack of monitoring. This study was conducted by employing a spatial analysis to identify the most suitable location, taking into consideration bathymetry, significant wave height, current velocity, distance from shore, and vessel traffic density. 80 cost categories were subsequently identified and populated, as were associated depreciation costs. In the ensuing financial analysis, the farm was projected to produce 5220 tons of sea bass annually (live weight equivalent) with an initial capital investment of $39,924,456, an IRR of 19.43%, and a project NPV of $681,583,178 (cash flow NPV of $113,227,788 and a horizon value NPV of $568,355,390). By approving this farm through existing regulatory parameters that facilitate existing mariculture operations, France stands to meet sustainability and production objectives that it has set for itself. This farm can help advance humanity across many domains including aquaculture, world food supply, upward economic mobility, employment, sustainability, the ocean economy, and maritime engineering. These domains interface strongly with United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 1 (No Poverty), 2 (Zero Hunger), 3 (Good Health and Well-Being), 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production), and 14 (Life Below Water).
