Shuang-lin Dong is the head of Laboratory of Aquaculture Ecology at Ocean University of China, the director of Marine Economy Society under Chinese Society for Oceanogroghy, and the head of Aquaculture Ecology Society under Chinese Society for Oceanology and Limnology. His research focused on aquaculture ecology, especially biological regulation of water quality, structure optimization of integrated aquaculture systems, ecological intensification and sustainability of aquaculture systems. Currently he devotes himself to the ecology and technology of far-offshore fish farming. Shuang-lin got his Ph.D. in Aquaculture in 1992 from Ocean University of China in Qingdao. Since 1994 he has been working at Ocean University of China as an associate professor, professor, the Vice President of Ocean University of China (2003-2015). He served as the Vice Chairman of China Society of Fisheries from 2005 to 2012, and the Convenor of Fisheries Discipline of Discipline Assessment Group of the State Council of China from 2014 to 2019. 

Xiang-li Tian is a professor in the Laboratory of Aquaculture Ecology at Ocean University of China. He obtained his Ph.D. in Aquaculture from Ocean University of China in 2001. He has studied aquaculture ecology, especially microbial ecology in mariculture, for over 20 years. Currently, his research has mainly focused on the structure and function of microbial community in aquaculture ecosystems and application of probiotics. Xiang-li has published more than 200 peer-reviewed papers in English and Chinese, and six books (in Chinese). 

Qing-feng Gao is a professor in the Laboratory of Aquaculture Ecology at Ocean University of China. In 2005, Qin-feng got his Ph.D. in Marine Ecology from the City University of Hong Kong. His study field is focused on aquaculture ecology with over 20 years of research experience, especially the interactions between far-offshore salmon farming and marine environment at the
