The development of marine ranching is an important research subject in fishery research field nowadays in China, it is now in starting stage, and has raised wide concern. Acoustic taming, as one of the most significant technology in the control of fish behaviour, is an effective means to realize the well construction and management of marine ranching. The study analysed the current position and deficiency of acoustic taming in China, pointing that fish behaviour and hydro-acoustics are the base of acoustic taming. The development of acoustic taming is based on tank experiment and the theory of underwater sound attenuation; Based on tank experiment, large outdoor experimental pond and marine environment were used, and do the experiment of tagging and releasing the fish, then the reckoning sound attenuation theoretical calculation was used in marine ranching. All of which contributed to a all-round assessment of marine ranching, making the management of marine ranching more scientific. Computer science and other related science subjects were also used to realize the remote administration of acoustic management by developing software.

Key words: marine ranching; acoustic taming; situation and trend; sound attenuation; China
