China's first deep-sea fish farming facility, Shenlan 1, will be put into use later this month for salmon¹ cultivation² in the Yellow Sea, which will enable the country to achieve large-scale breeding of fish in the warm open seas.

我国首座深海渔业养殖装备“深蓝1号”将于本月晚些时候投入使用，在黄海养殖三文鱼，这将使我国实现在温暖的开阔水域大规模养鱼。

The submersible aquaculture facility can dive to a depth of 50 meters and is able to rise or descend³ according to ambient water temperature, said Chen Qing, head of Wuchang Shipbuilding Industry Co, the facility's maker⁴.

该装备制造方武昌船舶重工集团有限公司总经理陈埥称，这种潜水水产养殖设施潜水深度可达50米，将可根据周围水温进行升降。

"It's the first such underwater aquaculture facility in the world," Chen said, adding that Shenlan 1 adopts some military submarine technology.

陈埥表示：“这是世界上第一个该类型的水下水产养殖设施。”他补充称，“深蓝1号”采用了某些军事潜艇技术。

The cylindrical⁵ apparatus⁶ can raise about 300,000 salmon in one growth cycle, with the fish spending around a year in Shenlan 1, having a targeted production of 1,500 tons, said Wang Yu, chief designer of Shenlan 1.

深蓝1号总设计师王宇称，这种圆柱状装备在一个生长周期可养育三文鱼约30万条，这些鱼在深蓝1号里养殖1年左右可实现目标产量1500吨。

Wang said that when individual fish reach 5 kg, they will be ready for sale in the Chinese domestic market. From the end of this year until April next year is expected to be the harvest time.

王宇表示，当一条鱼达到5公斤时，就可在我国市场上出售了，预计今年年底至明年4月将是收获期。

"Salmon is a high-value-added cold-water fish. If it is successful this time, we plan to buy more facilities to raise salmon and other fish with high economic value, including coalfish, to satisfy foodies in China," he said.

他说道：“三文鱼是一种高附加值的冷水鱼。如果这次成功，我们计划购买更多的设施来饲养三文鱼和其他具有高经济价值的鱼类，比如说黑鳕，以满足中国的食客们。”
