“…In late spring, fishing intensity becomes stronger in the northern waters of the gulf as fishermen from both China and Vietnam try to catch as many fish as possible, especially some commercial species, in a shorter period of time using more efficient equipment and methods (such as a lot of artisanal shrimp trawlers) (Yu and Mu, 2006;Vu, 2013;Tian et al, 2022). In our case, the total catch density declined to 291.9 kg per km 2 in spring, which was only approximately 1/3 of the fishery resource density in autumn.…”

The favorable natural conditions and variety of habitats in the Beibu Gulf provide a basis for harboring a high diversity of marine organisms. Sustainable coastal ecosystem management can be benefited from a comprehensive assessment of species diversity. In this study, we analyzed the seasonal changes in nektonic phylogenetic and community structures in the waters of Weizhou Island in the northern Beibu Gulf. The results showed that both the nektonic phylogenetic diversity and community structure in the northern Beibu Gulf exhibited strong seasonal differences between spring and autumn. The catch density was 291.9 kg per km2 in spring and 1081.1 kg per km2 in autumn. Phylogenetic diversity of nektonic communities obviously increased from spring to autumn, while phylogenetic patterns changed from clustering to overdispersion. The seasonal patterns of nektonic communities were mainly related to the different fishing intensities in spring and autumn. Summer fishing intensity in the Beibu Gulf was effectively controlled by a mid-summer fishing moratorium, during which nektonic diversity and fish stocks rapidly recovered from the larval pool. Our study revealed that fishing intensity had a greater impact on nektonic communities at smaller spatial scales, and even exceeded the effects of environmental factors.

“…124 Even those scholars, who appreciate that the fishing ban might have a posi-tive result of contribution to the protection of fishery resources, still argue that its biggest flaw is to create high tension with the other country if it is applied unilaterally. 125 It is doubtless that the fishing ban needs further improvement, like adjustment of its executing time and the banned types of fishing vessel and fishing method. But practice has proved that this measure is necessary and effective to promote the sustainability of marine living resources in the Beibu Gulf and prevent overfishing.…”

The Beibu Gulf (Gulf of Tonkin) is one of the main fishing grounds for both China and Vietnam. The Sino-Vietnamese Agreement on Fishery Cooperation in the Beibu Gulf is an important legal instrument to effectively manage and conserve fishery resources in the Gulf. This article reviews the implementation of the Agreement, analyzes the main factors attribute to the smooth implementation, discusses the main problems arising from the implementation and further presents some proposals for improvement.
