Aquatic products are an important part of the "vegetable basket", and since May 5, China's Bohai Sea, Yellow Sea, East China Sea and South China Sea have fully entered the marine fishing moratorium.

There is an abundant supply of seafood during the summer fishing moratorium

At present, it is the peak tourist season, the reporter randomly visited seafood markets and supermarkets in many places across the country, and found that the supply of major seafood such as fish and shellfish is sufficient and the price is stable.

The Straits Aquatic Products Trading Center in Mawei District, Fuzhou City, Fujian Province is the largest aquatic products trading and distribution center in China, bringing together the surrounding fishing ports and aquatic products from all over the world, and its sales network covers the whole country. The four aquatic products of fish, shrimp, shellfish and algae accounted for the top four aquatic product consumption.

At 6 a.m., it comes alive, with trucks transporting aquatic products coming in and out, and suppliers and buyers busy. The market has not been reduced by the arrival of the fishing moratorium.

Wang Gongliu, Deputy Director of the Commerce Bureau of Fuzhou Economic and Technological Development Zone: The fishing ban coincides with the May Day holiday, and the market demand has increased.

In Shijiu Seafood Market, the largest seafood market in Rizhao City, Shandong Province, there are more than 100 kinds of seafood such as fish and shellfish, with a daily supply of about 10,<> jin. Local seafood is mainly crab, octopus, prawns, mackerel, as well as seafood imported from Russia, Canada and other places, including king crab, Boston lobster, etc.

It is understood that there are two main ways to supply seafood products in the market during the fishing moratorium, on the one hand, the timely replenishment of chilled products in cold storage, and on the other hand, aquaculture seafood.

In the waters of Nanhuangcheng on Yantai Long Island, Asia's largest deep-sea aquaculture fishery consisting of 10 intelligent deep-sea cages recently ushered in a bumper harvest, with more than 100 million tons of marine fish expected to be on citizens' tables during the fishing moratorium.

Yantai Jinghai Ocean Fishery Co., Ltd. Zhang Jiayu: The waters of Nanhuangcheng are located at the confluence of the Yellow and Bohai Seas, and all the water here has reached the national first-class water quality standards. The sea water here flows very fast, more than 1 meter per second, which is equivalent to the natural water change of the cage more than 1000,<> times a day. Therefore, the fish grown in the sea cage are basically no different from the wild fish.

In addition to ensuring the supply of aquaculture, during this year's holiday period, distant-water fishing vessels and fishing tackle fishing vessels can go to sea for normal production operations, which has laid a solid foundation for sufficient market supply during the fishing moratorium.

The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs has further optimized and adjusted the fishing moratorium system in the summer season

China's marine fishing moratorium system has a history of nearly 1995 years since its implementation in 30, and this year, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs has further optimized and adjusted the fishing moratorium system. The end of the fishing moratorium in the Yellow Sea and East China Sea between 35 degrees north latitude and 26 degrees 30 minutes north latitude will be unified to September 9, and fishing vessels of four types of operations, including gill nets, will be allowed to apply for special fishing during the fishing moratorium. Why is there a moratorium on marine mid-season fishing?

The "marine fishing moratorium system" is a form of the "prohibited fishing areas and fishing periods" system stipulated in Article 12 of the Fisheries Law of the People's Republic of China. Since the fishing ban area is part of the sea area under China's jurisdiction, the fishing ban time is mainly concentrated in the spring and summer seasons every year, which is figuratively called the "marine fishing moratorium system". At present, the fishing moratorium system has covered the Bohai Sea, the Yellow Sea, the East China Sea and the South China Sea, with nearly <>,<> fishing vessels and millions of fishermen.

Zhang Xin'an, Director of the Fishery Administration Division of the Fisheries Administration Bureau of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs: The spring and summer seasons of each year are the breeding period and larval growth period of the main marine biological species, and the implementation of the marine fishing moratorium during this period can effectively protect the spawning and juvenile groups of marine life, and marine fishery resources are generally rested.

This year, after the adjustment of the fishing moratorium system, four types of fishing vessels of the operation were included in the special fishing management in accordance with laws and regulations. The adjustment of these systems is not only conducive to strengthening the protection of marine fishery resources, but also fully takes into account the production and living needs of fishermen, and helps promote the rational utilization of fishery resources.

Resource monitoring showed that after the implementation of the fishing moratorium in the summer season, marine fishery resources were effectively restored, Chinese shrimp reappeared in Bohai Bay, mackerel, jellyfish, pike crab, hairy shrimp, etc. showed signs of recovery, and the output of individual species increased significantly. The number of high-quality fish species such as ribbon fish and small yellow croaker in the East China Sea has also increased significantly.

During the fishing moratorium, fishermen have something to do and earn money

During the fishing moratorium in the middle of the season, more than 11,<> fishing boats and millions of fishermen were involved. What are the fishermen doing during the fishing moratorium?

As soon as the fishing moratorium in the summer season began, Lianjiang County, Fujian Province, took advantage of the favorable opportunity for the majority of fishermen to go ashore to rest during the fishing moratorium, and invited four teachers from Fuzhou Marine Technical School to hold a training course on safety production at sea for fishermen.

Wang Yong, a fisherman from Yunan Village, Moss Town, Lianjiang County, Fujian Province: Through this study, we learned that only falling into the water vertically with your feet together is the right way. We used to plunge down like frogs, or jump flat down, which not only caused harm to ourselves, but also easily washed off the life jacket.

Located on the coast of the Bohai Sea, Wudi County in Shandong Province has a coastline of 38 kilometers, a sea area of 60,5 mu, more than 360,<> fishery employees and more than <> ships. Like the annual inspection of cars, fishing boats undergo comprehensive maintenance once a year, and for fishermen, the mid-season closure is the best time to repair fishing boats ashore. Now, at a local fishing cooperative, fishermen are taking advantage of the moratorium to repair nets and repair fishing boats in preparation for the next opening of the sea.

Zhang Daosheng, a fisherman from Wudi County, Shandong: During this period, we repaired boats and repaired nets, which was my job. We are well prepared for a good harvest.

During the fishing moratorium in the summer season, Shandong actively encourages and guides offshore fishermen to transfer to marine ranching, green aquaculture, processing and leisure, supports and cultivates fishery enterprises with innovation, leadership and driving ability, transforms idle labor resources during the fishing moratorium into advantageous employment resources, and ensures that the fishermen have jobs, work and money during the fishing moratorium, so that more fishermen can enjoy development dividends.

During this period, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs will continue to strengthen the training and education of fishermen, and carry out online and offline training, competitions and drills around fishery laws and regulations, safety skills, operation specifications, maritime first aid, ship fire protection and other relevant knowledge, so as to enhance fishermen's awareness of safe production and improve the quality and ability of fishermen.
