The National Key Research and Development Plan "Blue Granary Science and Technology Innovation" key special project (hereinafter referred to as Blue Granary Project) has made strategic arrangements in areas such as germplasm creation, healthy aquaculture, habitat restoration, friendly fishing, and green processing. This project is implemented to promote China"s modern fishery science and technology innovation, drive the transformation and upgrading of the fishery industry and green development, the establishment of a new fishery production system and implementation. Based on bibliometrics, this study searched the publication of the Blue Granary Project in SCIE database, and analyzed the research progress and focus of the project. The results show that since its launch in 2018 to November 7, 2023, Blue Granary Project as the first funded project has published a total of 5803 SCI papers, with a total citation frequency of 55,361, a total H index of 61, and ESI highly cited papers of 55, including 1 hot paper. Published a total of 47 nature index journal papers, distributed in 15 journals, including top journals such as Nature Cell Biology, Nature Climate Change, Nature Genetics, Nature Communications, and PNAS; Shanghai Ocean University, Ocean University of China, Ningbo University and other institutions have the most outstanding performance in the output of papers; 951 of the papers were published by international collaboration with partners from 57 countries, with developed countries such as the United States and Australia having the highest output. The papers cover 78 research fields, mainly focusing on fishery, marine and freshwater biology, food science and technology, environmental science and ecology, chemistry, biochemistry and molecular biology, immunology and veterinary medicine. The information retrieved from the papers shows that the Blue Granary Project has made significant progress in basic research, key core technology development and typical application demonstration, providing theoretical support for high-quality development in aquaculture, aquaculture breeding, disease prevention and control, and aquatic product processing. It has significant implications for increasing the supply of high-quality protein and ensuring China"s food security. |
