The safety aspect of aquatic products attracted the public's attention because of the rapid development of fish culture and international trade. It also directly affected the advancement of the fishery economy, as well as promoted a sound development of international trade. During the past two years, great technological progress has been achieved in our country in the area of quality and safety of aquatic products, especially during the period of the "10th Five-Year Plan". The problem of quality and safety was identified as a priority, and basic research was rapidly developed in conjunction with the legal and interrelated criteria. Moreover, the technology of control was extensively renewed.
