Coral research provides a wave of optimism for marine life
In this "coral factory", the transparent glass tanks are lined up to form a closed and circulating water system. The blue light filtering through the water adds a touch of mystery. Tropical fish of various colors, marine animals and plants such as corals and seaweed enhance each other's beauty, presenting a colorful "underwater world".
Feng, 35, is the inventor of this "microbial water quality treatment and culture technology" and the technical director of the coral artificial breeding project. Interestingly, he chose to conduct a large-scale breeding experiment in marine ecology by the Taihu Lake, and build a multilevel marine ecosystem through the symbiosis of fish, coral, algae and other microorganisms.
"I liked chemistry in high school, so I majored in chemical engineering in college. Since I like playing games, I joined a gaming company to work as a designer. Ten years ago, after I came into contact with coral, I was deeply attracted by this magical animal," he says.
At that time, Feng realized the prospect of artificial breeding when he saw news about coral protection on the internet. He threw himself into the campaign of bringing coral back to the sea through artificial breeding studies.
