     Tianjin Xinhua Channel June 30 (Xinhua Zhou Jian,朱绍斌) technology in China will be the accumulation of marine drugs into the product development stage, the next 10 years will be to form a number of marine drugs and health care products, anti-AIDS, anti-tumor, health care play role.

     Held recently in Tianjin, "2009 International Conference Bio-economy", the Ministry of Science and Technology of China Biotechnology Development Center released a report showed that the promotion of marine scientific and technological development, China's marine life industry showed industrialization, large-scale, efficient Characteristics of the development.
