China’s fishery scale in 2024 (detailed introduction)

China is one of the countries with the largest fishing industry in the world, with abundant fishery resources and vast fishing grounds. The following is a detailed introduction to the scale of China’s fisheries:

Rich resources: China has vast oceans, rivers, lakes and inland waters, resulting in rich and diverse fishery resources. China's fishery resources include various types of fish, shrimps, crabs, shellfish, kelp, seaweed, etc. The main fishing grounds include the East China Sea, South China Sea, mainland rivers, and freshwater lakes.

Scale of fishery production: China’s fishery production scale is huge. According to official data, China's annual fish catch has consistently ranked first in the world, accounting for nearly half of the world's total fish catch. In 2020, China's total fishery production reached approximately 68.33 million tons.

Fishery output value and employment: The contribution of China's fishery to the national economy is very important. The fishery industry chain includes fishery fishing, breeding, processing and sales. The development of the fishery industry has provided China with a large number of employment opportunities, especially in coastal areas and fishing village communities. In addition, fishery output also has an important impact on the local economy.

Breeding industry development: In order to meet the growing demand, China's fishery industry has strengthened the development of its breeding industry. The aquaculture industry has gradually become an important part of China's fisheries. The objects of aquaculture include fish, shrimp, crabs and shellfish. China has also made significant progress in aquaculture technology and facilities, such as marine aquaculture, pond aquaculture, and the restoration and reconstruction of fishery ecosystems.

Sustainable development and management: The Chinese government attaches great importance to the sustainable development and resource protection of fisheries. A series of laws, regulations and policies have been formulated, including the fishing license system, fishing vessel registration management, delimitation of closed fishing periods, compensation for fishery resource losses, etc. At the same time, we will strengthen fishery monitoring and scientific research, promote fishery technology innovation and promotion, and improve the sustainability and efficiency of fishery production.

It should be noted that China's fishery industry also faces some challenges and problems, such as overfishing, reduction of fishery resources, environmental pollution, illegal fishing activities and fishing vessel safety. In order to ensure the sustainable development of fisheries, China is working hard to strengthen fishery management and protection measures, promote the transformation and upgrading of fisheries, and promote sustainable development of fisheries and marine ecological protection.
