Measurement and Evolution of High-quality Development Level of Marine Fishery in China

Abstract

High-quality development of marine fisheries provides an important advantage for China to build itself into a maritime power and implement the Blue Granary Plan effectively. Based on the concepts of 'new development', 'food security', and the six dimensions of 'openness, innovation, coordination, green, sharing, and security', in this study, we established an evaluation index system for the high-quality development of China's marine fishery sector. We applied the entropy method to evaluate the high-quality development level of China's marine fishery sector from 2000 to 2016 and explored its spatial and temporal evolution rules. Our results indicated that: 1) from 2000 to 2016, China's marine fishery sector was in the primary stage of high-quality development; 2) spatially, the highquality development of marine fisheries showed an upward trend in all provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities in the country (not including Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan of China), and with time, the distribution pattern changed from single to multi-polarization; 3) temporally, the development level of high-quality marine fisheries fluctuated during the study period. From 2000 to 2010, the growth rate in openness was relatively slow, but after 2010, it increased rapidly. Notably, innovation is the driving force for high-quality development. The green and security factors provide a solid guarantee for high-quality development. In the high-quality development of a region, economic development is better coordinated, and the distribution of benefits is more inclusive. This study provides a theoretical basis to formulate effective marine fishery policies for the high-quality development of the marine fishery sector in China. Exploring the high-quality development and evolution process of marine fishery is conducive to promoting the sustainable development of marine fishery industry, ensuring marine fishery food security, and alleviating global food crisis.

Advancements and hurdles of deeper‐offshore aquaculture in China

“…15,16 The 'Blue Granary' plan has been put forward to accelerate DOA in China. 15,17 In addition to technical difficulties, the disadvantages of DOA also include high investment intensity, high risk, unclear property rights, and a lack of corresponding legal protection. 42 The Western public is also concerned about its potential environmental impact and ecological risks.…”

“…10,60 The 'Blue Granary' plan, therefore, has been put forward to accelerate offshore aquaculture, particularly DOA. 15,17 With the active involvement of numerous shipbuilding and marine As mentioned above, the three pairs of contradictions could potentially be solved or balanced through innovation in large-scale integrated DOA systems, such as a giant integrated mariculture enclosure (Figure 2). Such systems could not only produce abundant, affordable, aquatic products with low carbon emissions but also ensure profitability for enterprises.…”

Indicators for Evaluating High-Quality Agricultural Development: Empirical Study from Yangtze River Economic Belt, China

“…It is not only applicable to the whole city economy, but also to agriculture, fishery and industry, etc. (Chen & Wang, 2021 ; Li & Liu, 2022 ; Wang & Li, 2021 ; Wang et al, 2022a ). Specifically, the definition of its philosophy is mainly divided into the following three types.…”

Exploring the influencing factor of urban industry development: An order parameter method

“…It is an inevitable choice for the sustainable development of urban industry to shift from the traditional single economic factor driven development to the innovation driven and green driven development. Therefore, UID should focus on economic growth, industrial technological innovation (Li and Liu, 2022), and environmental pollution in the development process (Hu et al, 2019). The UID mainly focuses on three levels, namely environment, technology, and finance.…”
