Study presentation: Role and impact of China on world fisheries and aquaculture
17-01-2023 - 14:22
On 24 January 2023, the Policy Department for Structural and Cohesion Policies will present a new study entitled "Role and impact of China on world fisheries and aquaculture".
This study reviews China's mariculture and marine fisheries with emphasis on the operations of its Distant Water Fleets (DWF).
China's DWF are analysed with some emphasis on the subsidies they receive from their government, their Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated catches and practices, the challenges they represent to international agreements, and to competing fleets from the EU, particularly in six focal countries, i.e., Mauritania, Senegal, Madagascar, Mauritius, Ecuador and the Solomon Islands.
Finally, the trade of Chinese fishery and mariculture products is reviewed with some emphasis on the import of fish feed by China, which may increasingly impact some food-deficient countries.

For the first time, harmful subsidies worth billions of dollars from wealthy nations can now be tracked to destinations around the world, including to least developed countries (LDCs) and the high seas.

Key Points:

For the first time, harmful subsidies worth billions of dollars from wealthy nations can now be tracked to destinations around the world, including to least developed countries (LDCs) and the high seas.
Looking solely at distant water fishing activity beyond a countrys own waters the top 10 spent $5.4 billion in harmful subsidies fishing in the waters of 116 other nations, and another $800 million on the high seas.
In the waters of several LDCs, the catches made and estimated subsidies received by foreign fleets surpasses those of the domestic fleet.
These top subsidizers may therefore be supporting their own fishing fleets by transferring overfishing risks to the waters of countries that can least afford it.

In 2020 there were 100 improvements made by fisheries as part of being certified to the MSC sustainability standard.

Key Points:

In 2020 there were 100 improvements made by fisheries as part of being certified to the MSC sustainability standard.
Incredibly, over half of the improvements made by MSC-certified fisheries relate to endangered, threatened, and protected species [2].
Fifteen of the improvements helped enhance fisheries' understanding and management of impacts on local ecosystems and habitats.
I can't stress this enough; unsustainable fishing practices are a serious threat to the biodiversity, productivity of our ocean and life as we know it on Earth.
