On August 1-2, an expert review meeting on major special topics of new aquatic product breeding in the 13th Five-Year Plan of Zhejiang Province was successfully held in the Provincial Freshwater Fisheries Research Institute. Cao Xin ‘an, deputy director of the Provincial Science and Technology Department, and Sun Xiaoming, chief engineer of the Provincial Ocean and Fisheries Bureau attended the meeting and made speeches. The meeting invited seven experts, including well-known domestic breeding experts from Chinese Academy of Fishery Sciences, National Aquatic Technology Extension Station, Shanghai Ocean University, Zhejiang University and other units, grass-roots fishery technicians in the province, and leaders of relevant departments of the Provincial Ocean and Fisheries Bureau, to form an expert group for review. Researcher Gu Zhimin, director of the Provincial Freshwater Institute and chief expert of the “Thirteenth Five-Year Plan” aquatic breeding special cooperation group, presided over the meeting.
Deputy Director Cao Xin ‘an briefly introduced the key research objectives and achievements of the major special projects of new agricultural variety breeding in the province. He emphasized three requirements for doing a good job in the evaluation of this topic: First, the evaluation experts should strictly check, regardless of old faces and old relationships, dare to tell the truth and put forward real opinions and suggestions; Second, each breeding subject should have a good orientation, and the core task is to cultivate new varieties, with emphasis on new varieties (varieties), high quality (excellent), stress resistance (disease), beauty (good-looking) and use (edible). The cultivated new varieties must meet the needs of Zhejiang and have Zhejiang characteristics, and the research work must meet the market demand, industrial demand and policy orientation. Third, the indicators must be assessable, and the assessment indicators of each subject must be combined with quantitative and qualitative methods. It is not possible to quantify the uncertainty only, and the relevant control basic values are not clear.
In his speech, Chief Engineer Sun Xiaoming emphasized that the cooperative group of aquaculture breeding should closely focus on the needs of fishery transformation and upgrading, and strengthen in-depth cooperation with enterprises, national institutes and universities. The cooperative group should work together with Qi Xin, concentrate on research, and strengthen transformation. According to the idea of “cultivating a batch, transforming a batch, and storing a batch”, through the efforts of the 13 th Five-Year Plan, it will play a strong support and important boost for strengthening and expanding the aquaculture seed industry in our province and promoting the reform of fishery supply side.
After the publication of the special application guide for aquatic breeding, a total of 10 team applications were received, and the evaluation meeting was conducted in the form of on-site report and defense. The project leaders first reported the project implementation plan and answered questions from the evaluation experts. The expert group scored each project according to five aspects: “industrial relevance, breeding technology level, rationality of objectives, existing work foundation and research group organization”, and according to the scores, nine teams were determined as nine breeding directions in an open, fair and transparent manner.
