Estimating the Impact of a Seasonal Fishing Moratorium on the East China Sea Ecosystem From 1997 to 2018

Abstract: Fisheries management policies (FMPs) have been implemented in coastal countries to ensure a sustainable supply of seafood and the recovery of species diversity. Because of the depletion of fishery stocks, China has introduced a series of FMPs since 1995, including a seasonal fishing moratorium (SFM), a zero-growth strategy, and a minimum mesh size for fishing nets. Here, we built two mass balance models for 1997–2000 (M1997) and 2018–2019 (M2018) using Ecopath with Ecosim 6.6 to illustrate the interannual chan… Show more

“…The Chinese government implements an annual summer fishing moratorium system from May to September each year. The seasonal variations in habitat utilization observed in our study provided evidence that this program effectively provides a vital period of rest for the U. edulis population, which significantly contributes to the improved protection and conservation of this valuable fishery resource [65,66].…”

“…On the other hand, some temporal changes across years in the VBD count appear to correspond to recent policy changes. The summer fishing moratorium by the Chinese government started in 1998 covering the Bohai Sea, the Yellow Sea, the East China Sea, and the northern part of the South China Sea, running from May to September, while the exact periods and the areas differ depending on the years and types of fishing [33,34]. The monthly fishing activities sharply declined after 2017 for the low-radiance class in May and for the high-radiance class in July (Figure 13).…”

“…Due to China's implementation of fisheries resource protection measures, predominantly involving seasonal fishing moratoriums (Jiang et al 2009;Xu et al 2022), the waters around Lvhua Island fall under the management zone for the off-season fishing moratorium.…”
