Industry information | national fishery economic statistical bulletin in 2021

 Comprehensively implementing the new development concepts, focusing on the key task of ensuring production and supply, promoting high-quality development of the fishery industry, and maintaining a good development momentum of the fishery economy. Statistics showed that the fishery economy continued to recover throughout the year, the output of aquatic products increased steadily, the consumption market of aquatic products supply and demand were booming, the price soared and fell, the import and export volume of aquatic products increased twice, and the income of fishermen showed a rapid growth.

I. Total fishery economic output value of the whole society
