This research evaluates the potential spaces of deep offshore waters for cultivating the , analyzing ocean profile temperature data from 2000 to 2022 according to the species' environmental temperature suitability. There are significant seasonal variations and differences in habitat distributions of different temperature ranges in China's surrounding waters. The range of maximum living space obtained according to the tolerance temperature shows a trend of being larger in summer and smaller in winter; and the range of viable habitat space obtained based on the suitable and optimal temperature shows a trend of being smaller in summer and larger in winter. Broad areas meeting tolerance temperatures offer broad, yet impractical, site selection options. In contrast, areas with optimal temperatures are limited, which means the availability of ideal site locations is very restricted. Regions consistently within the 20-28 °C range are best for practical site selection. Year-round suitable areas are primarily found at depths of 30 to 90 m in the southern East China Sea and the South China Sea, particularly within the 40 to 50 m depth range. Water mass like the South China Sea Surface Water and the Kuroshio Surface Water consistently maintain suitable temperatures, making them ideal for aquaculture.
本研究根据该物种的环境温度适宜性，评估了深远海海域养殖该物种的潜在空间，分析了2000年至2022年的海洋剖面温度数据。中国周边海域不同温度范围的栖息地分布存在显著的季节变化和差异。根据耐受温度获得的最大生存空间范围呈现夏季较大、冬季较小的趋势；而基于适宜温度和最适温度获得的适宜栖息地空间范围呈现夏季较小、冬季较大的趋势。满足耐受温度的广阔区域提供了广泛但不切实际的选址选项。相比之下，最适温度区域有限，这意味着理想选址的可用性非常受限。持续处于20-28°C范围内的区域最适合实际选址。全年适宜的区域主要位于东海南部和南海30至90米深度处，特别是在40至50米深度范围内。像南海水和黑潮表层水这样的水体一直保持适宜温度，使其成为水产养殖的理想场所。
