Beijing on March 30 news agency (xinhua Ding Dong) 30 reporters from here at the China ocean fisheries development symposium has learned in the last thirty years, China ocean fishery output of 2.03 million tons, 2014 start period than in 1985 1985 tons of annual production, growth of close to 800 times; Gross output value of 18.5 billion yuan, is the beginning period of more than 4000 times.

On March 10, 1985, China national fisheries corporation 13 fishing boat fishing fleet in the Atlantic ocean west of ocean fishery operation, opened the first page in the history of the development of China's ocean. So far, China has more than 2000 ocean fishing vessels, long-term in 40 countries exclusive economic zone and the Pacific, Indian Ocean, the Atlantic ocean on the high seas.

China's vice agriculture minister kang-zhen yu said that China's overall scale fleet and pelagic fishery production in the world, equipment level improved significantly, increasingly to optimize industrial structure, starting from a big fishing power forward steadily.

According to department of agriculture statistics, in 2014 China's high seas fisheries production proportion of pelagic fishery production has reached 65%, the proportion is more than four times that of 2000. At present, China's high seas squid fishing fleet size and squid production first in the world, the number of tuna longline fishing boat and tuna production ranked among the top of the world, professional saury ship number and the production capacity of entering the global advanced level, the Antarctic krill resources development important progress.

Fishing has become a global fisheries resources use power of the important areas, according to estimates, Marine fish in the case of reasonable development can meet the demand of about 30 billion protein, Antarctic krill resources reserves alone has more than 10, one hundred million tons, scientific and reasonable annual can catch can reach nearly one hundred million tons, equivalent to the sum of current Marine annual harvest of aquatic products all over the world.

Liu Shenli China agricultural development group chairman, said China's development of pelagic fishery resources have long been broke the high seas monopoly situation in developed countries, and to enhance the level of Chinese fishery machinery and equipment, to meet consumer demand plays an important role in people.

Fisheries experts also pointed out that due to a late start, the equipment level and operation way, resource exploration ability, etc., and fishing powers such as Japan, Sweden, the United States still has certain gap compared, should actively cultivate modern fishing enterprises, promote China from fishing power to fishing power.
