With the increasing prominence of pollution issues in offshore waters, marine ranching plays a crucial role in restoring marine ecosystems and ensuring the sustainable use of fishery resources. This paper provides a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of global marine ranching research. The study indicates that policy is the primary driver of the industry's development. It also reveals that the low level of interconnectivity between China and other major developing countries, as well as cooperation between governmental and research institutions in the area of marine ranching. In light of these considerations, prospective strategies for the future evolution of marine ranching can be formulated with a view to optimising and enhancing the seedling production system, and to forecasting changes in marine ranching in conjunction with the application of modern computing techniques and the field of remote sensing.
