The Xuanshan Marine Ecological Pasture, the largest of its kind in Zhejiang, has moved one step closer to completion, as piling work for its fence finished on May 15.

Occupying an area of 99.8 heactares, the pasture is the largest intelligent fenced breeding base in the province,with a total investment of 135 million yuan ($19.5 million).
