Past efforts to colonize the environment and domesticate living
species, coupled with scientific research, have resulted in the
possession (but not always the real control) by humans of any
available terrestrial space. However, oceans, which represent up to
two thirds of the surface of the planet, had not been really
approached until the middle of this century. As oceanographic
science develops, the picture of a rich, diverse, complex and also,
in many respects, specific marine life, is coming into view. In a
broad sense, marine biotechnologies can be understood as the
various means or techniques of managing marine living systems for
the benefit of mankind. The first goal we have is for marine life
to provide biomass for food. However, today it is not certain that
a significant increase of total world fisheries' catches will be
possible in the future. There are several ways to address this.
First, we need to generate better, more complete, or different uses
of the biomass actually fished. This is mainly a matter of
upgrading fish and fish wastes. Second, we need to artificially
grow the living species. This falls within the scope of cell
cultivation and of aquaculture. Both approaches have to be
appreciated si multaneously in terms of biology, ecology, and
economy. In both approaches, profit improvements are linked to the
introduction of biotechnological methods and to the use of
biotechnological processes."
