By means of literature review and field investigation in the sea area, the development and current situation of marine ranching at home and abroad are summarized, and the construction process of artificial fish reefs, proliferation and releasing and national marine ranching demonstration areas in Guangdong as well as the development status and existing problems of marine ranching related industries are analyzed. Guangdong has built 50 ecological artificial reef areas, 3 largescale artificial reef demonstration areas, 1 local artificial reef area and 15 national marine ranching areas, with a total sea area of 1 499.68 km2, and 2.004 million m3 of reefs being built. However, at present, there are some problems in Guangdong marine ranching, such as imperfect management mechanism, inconsistence in development concept and understanding, unclear rights and responsibilities in using sea area, lack of construction technology standards and specifications, low scientific and technological level and limited industrial development. Based on these problems, countermeasures for the development of marine ranching in Guangdong Province are put forward: insisting on ecology-prioritized development, and strengthening the coordination of multiple departments; creating a management mode conducive to market-oriented operation; break through the issue of sea area ownership; establishing a technical standard system for marine ranch construction in Guangdong; increasing the research on the basis of high-quality construction and key common technologies of Guangdong marine ranching; establishing industrialization modes of Guangdong m arine ranching according to local conditions. Understanding the development status of marine ranching in Guangdong and exploring the development strategies of marine ranching industry by referring to the relevant experience at home and abroad can provide references for the effective management, efficient and sustainable development of marine ranching in Guangdong and the integration of three industries in the development of marine ranching in Guangdong.
