STATUS AND ISSUES OF MARINE FISHERY RESOURCES IN SHANDONG PROVINCE AND THE STRATEGIES FOR ITS SUSTAINABLE EXPLOITATION

The status and issues of marine fishery resources in Shandong province were summarized and discussed, and the strategies for the development of marine fishery resources in the future were proposed. The deterioration of marine fishery eco-environment, excessive fishing, and degradation of marine aquaculture breeds resulted in acute decline of marine fishery resources. Moreover the dated processing technology for aquaproduction resulted in lack of production with high-additional value and low rate of utilization of the resources. The feasible strategies to realize the goal of sustainable use of marine fishery resources should be to intensify the basic research on marine fishery resources science, to strengthen the protection of the marine environment and conservation of marine fishery resources, and to exploit and utilize the resources scientifically and reasonably by using high-technology including marine biotechnology.
