The term “offshore” with regards to aquaculture has hitherto encompassed various perspectives, including technology, geographic location, legal jurisdiction, and more. To resolve the ambiguity in this understand its implications for current future development, should be resolved into two separate metrics: distance from shore energy exposure. United Nations Convention on Law of Sea (UNCLOS) distinguishes between internal waters, territorial sea, contiguous zone, exclusive economic zone (EEZ), high seas, but currently no precise definition provisions, therefore applicable laws pertaining aquaculture. Regulating a multi-technology sector may require integrating new spatial concepts law rather than merely adapting extending regulatory designs include production concepts. metrics exposure are seen as range specific threshold, allowing continuum.

This research evaluates the potential spaces of deep offshore waters for cultivating Larimichthys crocea, analyzing ocean profile temperature data from 2000 to 2022 according species' environmental suitability. There are significant seasonal variations and differences in habitat distributions different ranges China's surrounding waters. The range maximum living space obtained tolerance shows a trend being larger summer smaller winter; viable based on suitable optimal winter. Broad areas meeting temperatures offer broad, yet impractical, site selection options. In contrast, with limited, which means availability ideal locations is very restricted. Regions consistently within 20-28 °C best practical selection. Year-round primarily found at depths 30 90 m southern East China Sea South Sea, particularly 40 50 depth range. Water mass like Surface Kuroshio maintain temperatures, making them aquaculture.
