Abstract
This paper examines the possibility of incorporating the scientific knowledge on aquaculture technologies in general education amid growing concern over the global tight food supply so that we will show the educational purpose and practice for technology education in junior high school. That is to say, we analyze the social value of aquaculture industry from marine economics point of view. Concretely speaking, we specify the problems of its production and business structure and present the perspective for setting an educational goal and making a class plan. The results show that we can incorporate the common and structural food problems such as globalization of fishery output, marine contamination, supply instability of seeds and prey and regional difference caused by uneven distribution of luxury sea food into technology education as general education through formulating a class plan for aquaculture technology.
