Ecological Environment Impact of Aquaculture in Marine Protected Areas Based on CiteSpace

Abstract

To promote the harmonious and sustainable development of mariculture and marine ecological environmental protection in China, this paper selected Chinese and English literature data from authoritative databases, composed and analyzed the research progress of aquaculture in marine protected areas based on CiteSpace software, and discussed it according to the actual situation. The results showed that the number of papers on aquaculture in marine protected areas was relatively small but showed a gradual increase, and recently the number of papers in English literature had exceeded that in Chinese literature. The high-frequency keywords in both Chinese and English literature included biodiversity, with the English literature focusing on climate change and biological community structure, and the Chinese literature focusing on landscape pattern and environmental pollution. Both Chinese and English literature paid high attention to the spatial distribution pattern of aquaculture in marine protected areas and its impact on endangered protected species. The English literature had begun to focus on the positive impact of aquaculture on the functional diversity of the ecological environment, while the Chinese literature was still mainly concerned with the negative impact. Aquaculture had both positive and negative impacts on the ecological environment of marine protected areas. Further scientific research should be conducted, along with the implementation of marine protected areas zoning management, development of green cultivation, and strengthening of top-level design.
