Ma Hongyu

Dr. & Prof. Hongyu Ma serves as the Director of International Joint Research Center for Development and Utilization of Important Mariculture Varieties Surrounding the South China Sea Region, and as the Director of STU-UMT Joint Shellfish Research Laboratory. He is the Vice Chairman of Technological Innovation Platform of Chinese Mud Crab Industry, the Council Member of Chinese Association of Young Scientists and Technologists, and the Director of Agricultural Science and Technology Professional Committee of Guangdong Young Scientists Association. He is also a Visiting Professor at Universiti Malaysia Terengganu and a Visiting Associate at California Institute of Technology.

He is selected for the National Plan for the Special Support for Top-notch Talents, and for the Guangdong Provincial Plan for the Special Support for Top-notch Talents. He is ranked as the Stanford University World's Top 2% Scientists 2021. He also serves as an Associate Editor for aquatic physiology of Frontiers in Marine Science.

Prof. Ma devotes his energies to address key scientific and technological issues in marine biotechnology, breeding and aquaculture. In the past decade, he led a team to (1) draw a high-quality whole genome map at chromosome-level of mud crab and reveal the structural characteristics. He identified sex-specific SNP loci and mapped them at high-density genetic maps, and further uncovered the ZZ/ZW sex determination mechanism of mud crab. He also elucidated the mechanism of sex determination and differentiation through phenotypic and ncRNA/gene perspectives. (2) He first developed genome selection technology based on liquid SNP chip and GWAS, and obtained a new crab strain with fast growth rate and gentle-aggressive behavior. He also first constructed inter-specific hybridization technology for crabs and cultivated two hybrid combinations with fast growth rate and strong disease resistance. Moreover, he created indoor and outdoor artificial hatchery production and nursery technology, and integrated multi-trophic aquaculture technology in ponds and land-based terrestrial three-dimensional recirculating aquaculture technology. The above achievements have strongly promoted the development of genetics and aquaculture industry of marine crustaceans.

Prof. Ma obtained 25 research grants, with 5 at the national level and 14 at the provincial and ministerial level. He published more than 100 SCI-indexed papers and held 13 national invention patents and one international invention patent. His contributions in the field of marine biology and aquaculture have earned him more than 10 scientific and technological awards, including the Gold Prize of the 11^th Macao International Innovation and Invention Expo 2023 Award, the Second Prize of China Industry University Research Cooperation Innovation Achievement Award, the Second Prize of Invention and Innovation Award of China Association Inventions, and the Second Prize of Shanghai Science and Technology Award.
