China aims to boost supply of high-quality aquatic products by 2030

中国的目标是到2030年增加优质水产品的供应

BEIJING, Sept. 8 (Xinhua) -- China aims to significantly increase the supply of high-quality aquatic products by 2030 under a recently issued national fisheries development plan for the 15th Five-Year Plan period (2026-2030), the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs said Tuesday.

新华社北京9月8日电农业农村部在周二表示，根据最近发布的“十五五”（2026-2030年）国家渔业发展规划，中国的目标是到2030年大幅增加优质水产品的供应。

By 2030, China aims to keep the area of waters used for fisheries stable, further optimize the industry's structure, and achieve both higher quality and reasonable growth in quantity, according to the plan.

根据《规划》，到2030年，中国的目标是渔业利用水域面积保持稳定，从而使得产业结构进一步优化，实现质量和数量的合理增长。

By then, China is expected to make steady progress in modernizing facility-based fisheries, accelerate breakthroughs in core technologies and equipment, and expand the use of big data and artificial intelligence (AI).

届时，中国有望在设施渔业现代化方面取得稳步进展，加快核心技术和装备突破，扩大大数据和人工智能（AI）的使用。

Other targets for 2030 include continued improvement in the Yangtze River's aquatic biological integrity index, a slower decline in marine fishery resources, and stable growth in populations of rare species, according to the plan.

根据该计划，2030年的其他目标包括持续改善长江水生生物完整性指数，减缓海洋渔业资源的下降，并且促进珍稀物种数量的稳定增长。

Fisheries governance capacity is expected to be significantly strengthened, and the safe operation of marine fishing vessels should remain stable.

渔业治理能力有望显著加强，海洋渔业船舶安全作业应保持稳定。

To promote high-quality aquaculture, China will stabilize and expand aquaculture areas and upgrade freshwater aquaculture and mariculture, according to the plan.

根据规划，为促进高质量水产养殖，中国将稳定和扩大水产养殖面积，升级淡水养殖和海水养殖。

For safe, regulated and sustainable capture fisheries, the country will strengthen total catch management, keep the annual domestic marine catch within 10 million tonnes, and manage fishing vessels under a classification and grading system.

为了安全、规范和可持续的捕捞渔业，国家将加强总渔获量管理，将每年国内海洋捕捞量控制在1000万吨以内，并按照分类和分级制度管理渔船。

The plan calls for continued implementation of the 10-year fishing ban on the Yangtze River and stronger protection of fishery resources, aquatic ecosystems and aquatic wildlife.

《规划》要求继续实施长江十年禁渔，加强渔业资源、水生态系统和水生野生动物的保护。

To foster new quality productive forces in fisheries, China will improve the breeding of aquatic species, upgrade facilities and equipment, and expand AI applications.

为培育渔业新质生产力，中国将完善水产养殖，升级设施设备，拓展人工智能应用。

The plan emphasizes China's responsibilities as a major fishing country and calls for developing modern distant-water fisheries, participating more deeply in global fisheries governance and expanding practical international cooperation in fisheries.

《规划》还强调了中国作为渔业大国的责任，呼吁发展现代远洋渔业，更深入地参与全球渔业治理，扩大渔业国际务实合作。

China produced 76.52 million tonnes of aquatic products in 2025, and its aquaculture output reached 63.26 million tonnes, more than half of global aquaculture output, official data showed.

官方数据显示，2025年中国水产品产量为7652万吨，水产养殖产量达到6326万吨，占全球水产养殖产量的一半以上。

The country is one of the 10 parties to the Agreement to Prevent Unregulated High Seas Fisheries in the Central Arctic Ocean, which imposes an initial 16-year ban on commercial fishing in the area and provides for a joint scientific research and monitoring program.

该国是《防止北冰洋中部无管制公海捕鱼协定》的10个缔约方之一，该协定最初禁止在该地区进行商业捕鱼16年，并规定了联合科学研究和监测方案。
