The reporter learned from the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs that China's pelagic fishery (tunids and squid) output will stabilize at around 2.25 million tons in 2022, accounting for about 30% of domestic marine fish output.
 At the recent high-quality development promotion conference of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs stated that since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, China’s distant water fishery industry has actively promoted the transformation of the mode and structure, and has improved in terms of industrial scale, governance capacity, and foreign cooperation have achieved remarkable results. "Over the past ten years, pelagic fishery production has developed steadily, and the level of standardization and greening has been significantly improved, making positive contributions to enriching the domestic aquatic product market and promoting the economic development of partner countries."
The "Opinions on Promoting the High-Quality Development of Pelagic Fisheries during the 14th Five-Year Plan" issued by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs clearly stated that by 2025, the total output of pelagic fisheries will be stable at around 2.3 million tons, the scale of pelagic fishing vessels will be strictly controlled, and the regional and industrial layout will be further optimized , The overall quality and production efficiency of distant water fishery enterprises have been significantly improved.
 The person in charge said that in order to achieve high-quality development of pelagic fishery, it is necessary to promote the development of the entire industrial chain and large-scale aggregation, improve quality and efficiency, and develop modern pelagic fishery enterprises.
In terms of supervision, it is necessary to continue to strengthen standardized management and continue to carry out supervision and improvement actions. "At the same time, we must persist in carrying out independent fishing moratoriums on the high seas, strengthen resource conservation, deepen multilateral and bilateral fishery cooperation, and promote the sustainable development of distant water fisheries." The person in charge said.
Statistics show that at present, China has more than 2,500 ocean-going fishing vessels, and has carried out fishery cooperation with more than 30 countries.
