Multiple datasets related to pond and marine aquaculture have been published using diverse remote sensing technologies, yet a comprehensive dataset detailing spatial distribution on both land and sea sides is lacking. Firstly, a meticulous comparison of datasets which we selected related to aquaculture ponds and marine, ensuring consistency in trends. Subsequently, the datasets published by our team were edited and integrated to illustrate aquaculture activities on both sides of China's coastal zone. Finally, a spatial differentiation of coastal aquaculture in major provinces was analyzed. This analysis also utilizes the types of coastline and statistical data, guiding coordinated resource management efforts. The results unveil a distinctive spatial distribution pattern, concentrating aquaculture in the northern regions—Bohai Sea, Jiangsu, Fujian, and Pearl River coasts in Guangdong. The provinces rich in aquaculture resources, such as Shandong, Guangdong, and Liaoning, exhibit extensive coastlines. However, remote sensing monitoring suggests an underestimation of Liaoning's marine aquaculture compared to statistical yearbook data. Furthermore, southern provinces like Guangdong and Fujian exhibit significantly higher aquaculture output than Liaoning. Zhejiang leads in fishing output. The paper outlines the future development direction of coastal aquaculture, emphasizing a strategic, integrated land–sea approach for sustainable development. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

[Display omitted] • The CUO has systemic vertical variations in mineral assemblages and pitchblende geochemistry. • The vertical variations were caused by the ascent of deep oxidizing fluid and decreased upwardly during U mineralization. • REE of pitchblende could be used to guide deep uranium exploration. The Changjiang uranium (U) orefield in northern Guangdong (South China) contains several important granite-related uranium deposits, including the Mianhuakeng deposit. The hydrothermal evolution and mineralization mechanism of the deposit remain unclear, and hence in this study we analyzed the mineral compositional variations of pitchblende from different elevation (−300 to −50 m) in the orebody at Mianhuakeng deposit. The results indicate that with decreasing depth, the hydrothermal mineral assemblage changes from a reducing one (pitchblende, pyrite, and chlorite) to a moderately oxidizing one (pitchblende, coffinite, hematite, and goethite). The contents of U, Sr, ∑REE, U/Th, and LREE/HREE ratios in the pitchblende decrease (whereas the Cu-Pb-Zn-Ni-Co-Sc-Rb contents increase) progressively with decreasing depth. Also, Ce anomaly (Ce/Ce*) changes from positive to negative, and Eu anomaly (Eu/Eu*) becomes more negative with decreasing depth. We interpreted such vertical variations to be caused by the ascent of deep, mid-to-high temperature, highly-oxidizing ore-forming fluid, which was reduced by early-stage reducing minerals in the wallrock, a process that also formed the mineralization at Changjiang. In addition, the pitchblende REE distribution patterns and Eu/Eu* at depth (−300 m) resemble those of the Zhuguang pluton, indicating that the ore-forming materials were originated from the U-bearing granite wallrocks. Therefore, the Ce/Ce* and Eu/Eu* variations of pitchblende can be used to guide deep uranium ore exploration. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
