第十二届国际海洋生物技术大会反映的新进展

海洋生物技术是规模化生产和利用海洋生物资源获取海洋生物产品和服务的系统工程技术。自1989年日本东京第一届国际海洋生物技术会议以来，国际海洋生物技术在促进海水养殖业健康可持续发展、开发海洋生物制品、保护海洋环境、保护海洋生物多样性以及建设“和谐海洋”等领域得到迅猛发展，不仅促进了传统海洋生物产业的转型升级，还催生了包括海洋天然药物、海洋生物材料等许多新的产业生长点。第十二届国际海洋生物技术会议于2019年9月9?13日在日本静冈召开，会议以“下一代的海洋生物技术”为主题，旨在全球范围内交流海洋生物技术研究和开发的最新进展，强化一个国际层面的“政府?学术?产业”之间的交流与合作平台。这次会议最大的特点是把青年科学家、企业家和政策制定者推向了大会交流的一线。本文针对本次会议反映的新进展，提出我国未来5～10年特别值得关注的重点方向，建议把青年人才特别是学术、工程和产业融合型人才的培养放到最重要的位置，及时布局下一代海洋生物技术的原始创新和新兴产业孵化的战略制高点。

Recent advances reflected in the 12th International Marine Biotechnology Conference

Marine biotechnology refers to the applied science and technology for large-scale production marine bioproducts and provision of services for industry and community based on sustainable utilization and management of marine bioresources. The 1st International Marine Biotechnology Conference was held in Tokyo, Japan in 1989. Over the last 30 years, the global marine biotechnology had progressed rapidly in promoting the sustainable and healthy development of marine aquaculture, the development of novel marine bioproducts, the conservation of marine environment and bioresources, and the construction of “harmonic ocean” etc. It served not only the upgrade of traditional marine bioindustry of fisheries and aquaculture, but also the growth of many newly emerging industries such as marine pharmaceuticals, marine biomaterials and marine functional foods. The theme of 12th International Marine Biotechnology Conference held in Shizuoka, Japan on 9?13 September 2019, with “the next generation of marine biotechnology” as the theme. The conference served to strengthen the platform for the global exchange of new advances in marine biotechnology and the effective development of cooperations for government, academy and industry. This conference had promoted heavily on the roles of young scientists and entrepreneurs for the advances in marine biotechnology. This review, based on new advances reflected in the conference, proposes notable key directions in marine biotechnology for China over the next 5?10 years, and suggests the priorities of training young talents especially those integrated with entrepreneurs’ skills and to developing the leading strategic position in fostering new industries.
