This Guiding Opinions are formulated to further strengthen the conservation and rational utilization of aquatic biological resources, and protect biodiversity.
The main objectives are set up in the document. By 2025, the fishing ban system will be further improved, the total domestic marine fishing volume will remain within 10 million tons, and the pilot fishing quota for different species and sub regional management will continue to expand; Build around 200 national marine ranching demonstration areas, effectively protect high-quality aquatic germplasm resources, and release over 30 billion pieces of species of economic value and precious endangered aquatic species every year; the population of rare and endangered species such as Yangtze finless porpoise, sea turtle, spotted seal, and Chinese white dolphin will remain stable. By 2035, a fisheries resource conservation and management system with equal emphasis on input and output management will be basically established; The integrity index of aquatic organisms in the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers will be significantly improved, the decline in the resources of major economic marine species will be curbed, and the populations of rare and endangered species such as Yangtze finless porpoise, sea turtle, spotted seal, and Chinese white dolphin will recover; the protection and utilization system of aquatic germplasm resources will be basically established, and aquatic germplasm resources should be fully protected.
In addition, the document proposes: to strengthen the standardized management of species utilization concessions. It is necessary to strictly approve the licensing of aquatic wildlife utilization, standardize the management of capture, artificial breeding, transportation, utilization, import and export, and accelerate the promotion of aquatic wildlife labelling management.
