水产养殖为全球海产品供应带来了令人印象深刻的增长。截至2016年，全球海产品产量的一半以上来自水产养殖。为了满足未来的全球海产品需求，有必要也有机会以社会和生态可持续的方式扩大海洋水产养殖生产。这需要整合生物物理学、社会学和工程学。由于海洋水产养殖的复杂性和多尺度方面，以及研究人员在跨学科工作中面临的内在挑战，这种跨学科研究是困难的。为此，我们开发了一个基于埃莉诺·奥斯特罗姆的社会生态系统框架(SESF)的框架，以指导海洋水产养殖的跨学科研究。我们首先介绍了与海洋水产养殖研究相关的框架和社会生态系统变量，然后说明了该框架在美国最大的海洋水产养殖产品生产国缅因州正在进行的跨学科研究的一个应用。我们使用该框架对两个研究区域的牡蛎养殖进行了比较，重点是影响社会和生物物理承载能力的因素。我们的结论是，SESF提供的灵活性非常适合于为海洋水产养殖的跨学科研究提供信息，特别是比较、跨案例分析。
Aquaculture has been responsible for an impressive growth in the global supply of seafood. As of 2016, more than half of all global seafood production comes from aquaculture. To meet future global seafood demands, there is need and opportunity to expand marine aquaculture production in ways that are both socially and ecologically sustainable. This requires integrating biophysical, social, and engineering sciences. Such interdisciplinary research is difficult due to the complexity and multi-scale aspects of marine aquaculture and inherent challenges researchers face working across disciplines. To this end, we developed a framework based on Elinor Ostrom’s social–ecological system framework (SESF) to guide interdisciplinary research on marine aquaculture. We first present the framework and the social–ecological system variables relevant to research on marine aquaculture and then illustrate one application of this framework to interdisciplinary research underway in Maine, the largest producer of marine aquaculture products in the United States. We use the framework to compare oyster aquaculture in two study regions, with a focus on factors influencing the social and biophysical carrying capacity. We conclude that the flexibility provided by the SESF is well suited to inform interdisciplinary research on marine aquaculture, especially comparative, cross-case analysis.
