Description

The sustainable development of an oasis-style ecological and economic system, making good use of the water resource of northwestern China, is suggested to develop the aquaculture. The project is in Yuanyang Lake area, located in the city of Jiuquan, Gansu province, and is concerned with the development of the sturgeon recirculating culture and fish farming, the establishment of a sturgeon germplasm resource lab, sturgeon broodstock pool, and ultimately a sturgeon industry. In addition, integrating aquaculture in lakes and reservoirs (culturing Chinese domestic fishes as well as other aquatic species) with agriculture on the arid lands near lakes and reservoirs (planting xerophytes, such as liquorice, diversifolious popular and Haoana Fang) will contribute to the bioremediation of the arid ecosystem, to the improvement of the biological diversity, and to the stabilization of an oasis ecosystem of Jiuquan City and its surrounding areas. Moreover, the development of aquaculture and plantation can result in not only economic and ecological benefits, but also profound changes to the industrial structure of Jiuquan City. It could become a practical model for the sustainable development of an oasis-style ecological and economic system in the arid areas of Western China.
