This paper summarizes the basic situation of the national fishery economy operation in 2024, elaborating on aspects such as fishery production, the operation of aquatic product markets, import and export trade, and the construction of blue granaries. It analyzes the problems existing in the operation of the national fishery economy and finds that China's fishery economy is facing challenges such as an unfavorable situation in fishery capture production, a decline in input factors for aquaculture production, a drop in aquatic product prices, insufficient growth momentum for fishermen's income, an increasing dependence on imports, and severe fishery disasters. It also puts forward suggestions such as stabilizing fishery production, expanding development space, reducing the impact of imported aquatic products on the domestic market, and enhancing the ability to resist fishery natural disasters.

The Central Rural Work Conference was successfully held in December 2024, and since then, the national agricultural and rural system has fully implemented the spirit of the conference and arranged agricultural and rural work for 2025.Based on an analytical framework of policy background, objectives, and tools, this study examines the context and goals of the Central Rural Work Conference, as well as the overall framework of the draft document Opinions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council on Further Deepening Rural Reform and Solidly Promoting Comprehensive Rural Revitalization discussed at the conference. It also analyzes the impact on fishery policies, with a focus on five key policy areas: "promoting high-quality development of fisheries, supporting deep-sea aquaculture, strengthening the treatment of aquaculture tail water, resolutely advancing the ten-year fishing ban in the Yangtze River, and enhancing the management of fishing vessels involving Taiwan and foreign affairs." Additionally, the study explores favorable impacts on the development of aquatic seed industry, fishery technological innovation, recreational fisheries, and the reform and development of fishing villages, as well as other related fishery public policies such as balancing international trade of aquatic products. The aim is to provide references for fishery policy research.

As the five major sectors in modern fisheries, aquaculture, fishing, fish processing and trade, enhancement of fish stock, and recreational fishing have the characteristics of a relatively large proportion of the total output, strong correlation effects and sensitivity, high technical concentration, strong market expansion capabilities, and sustainability of development. In the new era, Liaoning has made significant progress in these five major sectors of modern fisheries. However, the development of modern fisheries shows unbalancing and insufficiency. It is necessary to improve the economic benefits of aquaculture and optimize marine fishing gear, and upgrade fish processing and marketing, and regulate enhancement of fish stock and expand the scale of recreational fishing. The paper presents the following recommendations: promote aquaculture development through innovation-driven, maintain the number of trawl fishing vessels stable, and promote the upgrading of fish processing and marketing, and conduct fish-enhancement release and marine ranching projects, and develop recreational fishing with different local characteristics.

China is a big maritime country. Cultivating sea, herding and fishing, and building "blue granary" are of great strategic significance to maintaining Marine ecological environment and ensuring blue food supply. In recent years, China's Marine pasture has developed rapidly, but there are many problems in the development process, such as the lack of rationality and scientific construction layout, the need to strengthen basic research, the need to optimize the technological innovation mechanism, and the imperfection of laws and regulations system. In order to promote the high-quality development of Marine pasture in our country, we should improve the overall management mechanism of Marine pasture, improve the preferential policy and management incentive mechanism, promote scientific and technological innovation, build a risk early warning system of Marine pasture, establish a risk prevention mechanism, improve relevant rules, regulations and laws and policies, integrate the existing incentive support policy, and implement the preferential financial and taxation policies. We will build a diversified and collaborative governance mechanism involving the government, enterprises, industry associations and society.

In January 2021, the country formally implemented a ten year fishing ban in the key waters of the Yangtze River, and the implementation of this program may lead to the loss of fishermen's natural resources that have sustained their livelihoods, so preventing the deterioration of the situation and safeguarding and improving the livelihoods of fishermen has become a new academic issue. Through a two consecutive years field study of 183 retired fishermen in coastal villages in southern Jiangsu Province, the DFID sustainable livelihood framework was introduced to analyze the composition of fishermen's livelihood capital from a new perspective. The study found that compared with the first year of the full-scale fishery withdrawal, all the indicators showed a decreasing trend, with physical capital in a dominant position, social capital relatively high, and natural capital, financial capital and human capital at a lower level. In order to realize the sustainable development of fishermen's livelihood, it is necessary to solve the problem of fishermen's low human cost and do a good job of resettlement, strengthen communication and exchange to build a good relationship of trust, set up a database and electronic archives to conduct continuous dynamic tracking surveys, and consolidate and improve the level of resettlement guarantee for retired fishermen.

To investigate the impact of aquatic product exports on the fishery economy in the Yangtze River Delta, this paper uses data of Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Anhui from 2003 to 2023 to establish a panel data model and uses a two-way fixed-effect model for empirical analysis. The empirical results show that the export of aquatic products in the Yangtze River Delta has a positive impact on the fishery economy, and the fishery economy of the Yangtze River Delta will increase by 0.263% for every 1% increase in the export value of aquatic products. The study further revealed that the production of aquatic products and the advancement of aquatic technology exert a positive simulative effect on the fishery economy in the Yangtze River Delta. On this basis, suggestions which would promote the development of the fishery economy in the Yangtze River Delta are put forward: (1) Meet the domestic market demand and develop diversified export markets. (2) Increase fiscal support and enhance aquaculture technology training and promotion. (3) Deepen regional cooperation and promote coordinated regional development Meet the domestic market demand and expand the diversified export market.
