Abstract

Blue biotechnology, renewable energy and unconventional marine living resources are considered as emerging frontiers for enhancing ocean-based blue economy in Bangladesh. Blue biotechnology can help both fisheries and aquaculture industry by producing fish varieties that can become quicker, more beneficial, and greater with tastier flesh, by developing gene transfer technology to be used to develop the growth of fish or by using of monoclonal antibodies and DNA probes to new diagnostic strategies for pathogens. Transformation of marine bioresources (main, co-product and by-products) into food, medicine, animal feed and related biobased items i.e. cosmetics, nutritional supplements, enzymes, agrichemicals etc could help in meet the Bangladesh future challenges for the 21st century. Given that majority of conventional living resources is facing over-exploitation, non-conventional marine living resources, specifically mollusk (squids, oyster, mussel), seaweeds, marine echinoderms, marine micro algae and others can be utilized as a source of new fishery products that could straightforwardly consumed as nutritionally balanced marine food. In terms of non-living resource, renewable energy comes from hydro power, solar, biogas and wind, however, tide and wave energy have good potential. Towards sustainable utilization of these sector-specific resources there are several challenges, such as little knowledge about their current status, limited focus by policy makers. To escape this situation, marine policy relatives must have to include the marine fisheries, mariculture, marine food, health, natural resources and industrial application. Research activities can create information to advise the policy and strategy, which thus stimulates future development by informing how the marine environment can be monitored and managed reasonably and realize its role in giving ecological facilities to the country as well as the world.

蓝色生物技术、可再生能源、非常规资源和产品成为海上新兴前沿

蓝色生物技术、可再生能源和非常规海洋生物资源被认为是加强孟加拉国海洋蓝色经济的新兴前沿。蓝色生物技术可以帮助渔业和水产养殖业，生产出更快、更有益、更美味的鱼类品种，开发用于促进鱼类生长的基因转移技术，或使用单克隆抗体和DNA探针来制定新的病原体诊断策略。将海洋生物资源（主要、副产品和副产品）转化为食品、药品、动物饲料和相关生物制品，如化妆品、营养补充剂、酶、农用化学品等，有助于应对孟加拉国21世纪的未来挑战。鉴于大多数传统生物资源面临过度开发，非传统海洋生物资源，特别是软体动物（鱿鱼、牡蛎、贻贝）、海藻、海洋棘皮动物、海洋微藻和其他生物，可以作为新渔业产品的来源，直接作为营养均衡的海洋食物食用。在非生物资源方面，可再生能源来自水力发电、太阳能、沼气和风能，而潮汐能和波浪能具有良好的潜力。为了可持续利用这些特定部门的资源，存在一些挑战，例如对其现状知之甚少，决策者的关注有限。为了避免这种情况，海洋政策亲属必须包括海洋渔业、海洋养殖、海洋食品、卫生、自然资源和工业应用。研究活动可以创造信息，为政策和战略提供建议，从而通过告知如何合理监测和管理海洋环境，并实现其在为国家和世界提供生态设施方面的作用，刺激未来的发展。这篇研究文章发表在《海洋与海岸经济杂志》上：https://cbe.miis.edu/joce/vol6/iss2/8
