Marine aquaculture has experienced robust growth in recent years, emerging as one of the fastest-growing industries globally. While coastal aquaculture is the prevailing form, it has caused conflicts among stakeholders due to limited near-coast areas and associated environmental issues. The imperative for increased seafood production, coupled with these challenges, has spurred a growing trend for the industry to venture further away from the coast. However, sustainable and competitive offshore economic activity encounters numerous challenges, with a critical one being the provision of uninterrupted energy far from the coast. This paper aims to provide a concise overview of the energy requirements of an offshore aquaculture farm, review current energy supply solutions, and explore a potentially new solution involving the use of hydrogen as the primary fuel.

为海上水产养殖作业提供动力：氢能成为可持续的解决方案吗？

近年来海水养殖经历了强劲增长，成为全球增长最快的行业之一。虽然沿海水产养殖是普遍的形式，但由于近海岸区域有限和相关的环境问题，它引起了利益相关者之间的冲突。增加海鲜产量的迫切需要，加上这些挑战，刺激了该行业向远离海岸的地区发展的趋势。然而，可持续和有竞争力的离岸经济活动面临着诸多挑战，其中一个关键挑战是远离海岸的不间断能源供应。本文旨在简要概述近海水产养殖场的能源需求，回顾当前的能源供应解决方案，并探索涉及使用氢气作为主要燃料的潜在新解决方案。
