      abstract = {The pond smelt (Hypomesus olidus), originally transplanted  from North Korea, was introduced to China in 1938 and  gradually distributed to various areas of China. The pond  smelt was the first fish species introduced to the water of  China. It not only has the function of protecting water  quality, and also has high economic and nutritional values  which are helpful for diversifying the fishery productive  activities of China. The present review analyzed the  transplantation and production status of pond smelt in  China, described the key situations and factors influencing  the establishment and current level of aquaculture  development. Since its introduction, the pond smelt  transplantation in China was distributed in Northeast of  China. From the 1980s, reservoirs and lakes all over China  began to transplant pond smelt, and the transplantation of  pond smelt went into the outbreak period. In order to  improve the efficiency of transplantation, scientific and  technical personnel studied the simple and practical  technology of artificial breeding and transplantation, the  medicine for preventing and controlling saprolegniasis  which often leads to death of fertilized eggs. To meet the  demand of market, more and more pond smelt processing  products have been studied and developed, such as grilled,  milk flavor, fish sauce, ham-sausage, and brew vinegar of  pond smelt. The pond smelt farming in China has broad  prospects development, yet there are also challenges to  overcome. It is recommended to take proper policies for  pond smelt development, strengthen pond smelt scientific  research, transplantation technology training, establish  pond smelt fisheries association, support dominant  enterprises, and implement brand strategy.},
