China has a vast area of beaches and shoals measured nearly 10000 mu which provide a natural condition for offshore breeding. The designer pursues a kind of natural style in designing this set of stamps. (4-1) Pagrosomus Major, with red color, is the most precious marine livings. (4-2) Penaeus Chinesis can gives you a kind of delicate feeling. (4-3) Chlamys Farreri is fan sheall whose color can change with environment. (4-4) Laminaria Japonica is a kind of kelp. The designer uses a typical Chinese painting method to depict these stamps. Thus, the main figures are obvious while the whole pictures are succinct.
