According to the function of the marine pasture, the marine pasture can be divided into five main types.

The most common types of marine pastures are currently built along the coast. The production of fishery-increasing marine pastures is mainly based on sea treasures such as sea cucumber, abalone, sea urchin and swimming crab. Ecologically restored marine pastures are the development direction that is currently encouraged by marine pastures. The northern part of China is mainly dominated by small-scale ecological restoration of marine pastures in the offshore area, and there are many large-scale ecological restoration marine pastures outside the southern part of the sea.

2. Ecologically restored marine pasture

This type of marine pasture is dominated by fish production.

3. Leisure and sightseeing marine pasture

This kind of marine pasture is embedded in other types of marine pastures. With the rise of recreational fisheries, it is an emerging industry for marine pasture management development.

4. Germplasm protected marine pasture

Such marine pastures mainly carry out aquatic germplasm resources conservation and variety selection.

5. Integrated marine pasture

Integrated marine pastures generally take into account one or more functions. The most common is the development of recreational fishing functions in fishery-raised marine pastures, and the development of recreational and sightseeing functions and fish aquaculture functions in ecologically restored marine pastures.
