Developing sustainable aquaculture industry and building a harmonious international trade order

摘要

In the past 20 years, a China-characterized path for fishery development has been set up by the Chinese Government, based on the fish farming-focused principle. Driven by the development of aquaculture, Chinese traditional fishery has been greatly improved. This contributes not only to the income of fishers and relieves pressure on marine resources, but also assists global food security and world fish trade. Facing both challenges and opportunities, the aquaculture and fisheries sectors need strategically to strengthen international cooperation, which is supposed to drive global aquaculture development in a more sustainable way and ensure the fish supply. In China, fair, orderly and harmonious trading policies and regulations have been proposed andemphasized by the government to provide more effective direction and ensure better resource management and an environmentally friendly, high-quality and trade-harmonious aquaculture development system.
