池塘养殖在我国已经有几千年的历史.这种生产模式不仅具有经济功能，还具有文化价值.随着我国经济与文化水平的提高，这种价值将会进一步凸显.对其生态服务价值的评估，可为渔业经济政策的制订提供科学支撑，避免政策扭曲及其所产生的政策失灵，科学地发展水产养殖业及相关休闲服务业，增加养殖经济的附加值，进而提高渔民收入，促进农村经济发展.本文以上海市青浦区淀山湖水源保护区养殖池塘作为研究对象，以实证调查数据为基础，结合该区的相关统计数据，将养殖池塘的文化价值分为游憩价值和存在价值, 并在此基础上，以旅游成本法（TCM）和条件价值评估法（CVM）分别对这两种价值进行了估算，测算了总的文化服务价值.结果表明：该区养殖池塘文化服务总价值约为每年2.13亿元，约合231296.69元·hm-2, 是该池塘养殖水产品产量市场价值的5.25倍.其中游憩价值约为1.89亿元，存在价值0.24亿元.在推动上海新农村建设的过程中，职能部门需重新认识此类系统的价值.
Pond aquaculture has existed in China for thousands of years, which has not only contributed great economic value, but also presented cultural value for human beings. With the development and upgrading of Chinese economy and culture, these values will be highlighted further. To evaluate the cultural service value of pond aquaculture ecosystem would provide a scientific base to the policy-making to avoid or reduce the wrong designmaking or avoid the policy-malfunction, and also, to promote the development of aquaculture and related recreational fishing industry, increase the added value of aquaculture and the income of fish-farmers, and promote the economic development of rural area. Based on the survey data from the aquaculture ponds in the water conservation area of Dianshan Lake in Qingpu District of Shanghai and the related statistical data, the cultural service value including recreational value and existence value of the aquaculture pond ecosystem in the area was estimated by means of travel cost method (TCM) and contingent valuation method (CVM). The total cultural service value of this ecosystem was about 213 million Yuan·a-1 or 231296.69 Yuan·hm-2·a-1, being 5.25 times of the market value of aquaculture products, among which, recreational value was about 189 million Yuan·a-1, and existence value was about 24 million Yuan·a-1. It was suggested that in the construction of new rural areas of Shanghai, sufficient attention should be paid on the full play of the cultural service value of aquaculture pond ecosystem.
