Recently, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs issued the "Implementation Opinions on the implementation of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and The State Council on learning and using the experience of the" Thousand Village Demonstration and Ten Thousand Village Renovation "project to effectively promote the deployment of comprehensive rural revitalization work" (Nongfa (2024) No. 1) (hereinafter referred to as the "Implementation Opinions"). The "Opinions on Implementation" makes important arrangements for fishery administration in many parts, and the relevant contents are summarized as follows.

Increase the production of grain and important agricultural products to ensure national food security

Promote the development of modern fisheries. Develop healthy aquaculture. Formulate the national aquaculture waters beach planning, and stabilize the aquaculture water surface space. Promote green and healthy aquaculture technology, and set up state-level demonstration zones for healthy aquaculture and ecological aquaculture. Actively develop shellfish cultivation. Expand the space for the development of fisheries. We will actively develop ecological fisheries on large water surfaces, steadily promote integrated rice-fishery farming, and develop saline-alkali land aquaculture. Accelerate the development of far-reaching marine aquaculture, create national-level marine pasture demonstration zones, and improve and strengthen the industrial chain and supply chain of ocean-going fisheries. Promote reform of the management system for fishing vessels and fishing ports, and develop economic zones for coastal fishing ports. Improve the system of closed fishing periods, consolidate and expand the scope of special fishing permits in different sea areas, and regulate the proliferation and release of fish. Strengthen the investigation and rectification of fishery safety hazards and risk warnings.

    Raise the level of facility agriculture. Raise the level of facility breeding. Promote the standardized transformation of centralized continuous aquaculture ponds and actively develop industrial recirculating aquaculture. Accelerate the development of smart agriculture. Build a number of smart agriculture leading areas, and promote the digital upgrading of large-scale farms (ranches, fisheries). Build a big data platform for agriculture and rural areas. Establish a view of big agriculture and big food, expand food sources through multiple channels, explore the monitoring and statistics of big food, and promote typical cases of big food development.

    Strengthen agricultural disaster prevention, mitigation and relief. We will strengthen prevention and control of aquatic animal diseases. Efforts will be made to reduce the use of veterinary antimicrobials. We will strengthen the prevention and control of invasive alien species.

Strengthen support for agricultural science and technology and equipment to lay a solid foundation for the development of modern agriculture

Accelerate efforts to revitalize the seed industry. Strengthen the protection and utilization of germplasm resources. To build a national germplasm bank for livestock, poultry and freshwater fisheries. Promote breeding innovation. Carry out pilot projects integrating research and development, promotion and application of major varieties, and improve the independent innovation capacity of seed enterprises. Promote the industrialization of biological breeding expansion speed. Strengthen the construction of breeding and seed production bases. Thoroughly implement the modern seed industry upgrading project and the incentive policy for major seed producing counties, build national seed production bases such as Nanfan Silicon Valley and Heilongjiang Soybean, and select a number of major seed producing counties, regional seed breeding bases, and core breeding farms for livestock and poultry.

Strengthen the protection of agricultural resources and the environment and promote the green transformation of agricultural development

Strengthen the conservation of aquatic living resources. Unswervingly push forward the 10-year fishing ban in the Yangtze River. Carry out joint law enforcement and supervision of departments on a regular basis to crack down on all kinds of illegal fishing. Strengthen the capacity building of fishery administration law enforcement, focusing on the Yangtze River basin, and strengthen the application of intelligent facilities. Promote the improvement of the resettlement and social security level of fishermen who have retired from fishing, promptly identify qualified fishermen who have retired from fishing as monitoring objects to prevent the return of poverty, and implement the "warm heart action" of tracking and investigating fishermen who have retired from fishing in ten provinces and 100 counties and thousands of households and providing employment assistance. Conservation of aquatic biodiversity. Strengthen the investigation, monitoring and assessment of aquatic living resources, publish the Yangtze River aquatic Life Integrity Index, carry out surveys on the habitats of rare and endangered aquatic wildlife, and intensify efforts to implement the action plan for the protection of flagship species such as the Chinese sturgeon and the Chinese white dolphin. Strengthen the development of national aquatic germplasm resource reserves, strengthen the implementation of measures to compensate fish-related ecological conditions, and promote the restoration of aquatic habitats.

    Vigorously develop ecological and circular agriculture. Promote green technology to promote small circulation. Strengthen technical training for new types of agricultural operators, promote the use of green and efficient varieties of machinery and tools, and develop integrated rice and fishery farming, and ecological farming of grain, livestock, fungi and fruits in light of local conditions.

    Increase the supply of green and high-quality agricultural products. Deepen the implementation of the "three products and one standard" campaign for agricultural production and agricultural products, promote the improvement of varieties, quality, brand building and standardized production, and accelerate the development of production bases for high-quality agricultural products such as green, organic, geographical indications, famous, special and new products. Promote standardized production. Establish a standardized production and quality grading system covering the whole chain, and promote the standardization of the whole industrial chain of modern agriculture. Strengthen supervision over quality and safety. Carry out efforts to control prominent drug residues in cowpea and key aquaculture varieties, and strengthen supervision of other varieties with low qualification rates. Strengthen the testing of agricultural products, promote the application of new rapid testing technologies, fully implement the system of promising compliance certificates for edible agricultural products, and expand the coverage of traceability management and credit supervision of agricultural products' quality and safety. Cultivate boutique brands. Improve the catalogue system for agricultural brands, implement a plan to cultivate high-quality agricultural brands, and build a number of regional public brands, enterprise brands, and brands of high-quality and featured products.

Promote the development of rural industries across the chain and broaden the channels for farmers to increase their incomes and get richer

Vigorously develop industries with rural characteristics. Improve the characteristics of breeding. Support the collection and survey of characteristic germplasm resources, and select a number of characteristic varieties with good characteristics. Do fine local characteristics industry. Cultivate specialized villages and towns with special rural industries, and develop a number of villages and towns with special grain and oil, fruit, vegetable and tea, livestock and poultry, aquatic products, and local industries.

Strengthen support and ensure that our work is effective

Strengthen the rule of law in agriculture and rural areas. Improve the system of legal norms. Advance the revision of the Rural Collective Economic Organization Law, the Law on the Protection and Quality Improvement of Cultivated Land, the Agriculture Law, the Fisheries Law, and the Regulations on the Protection of New Varieties of Plants, and improve supporting rules and regulations. Strengthen publicity on the rule of law. Speed up the cultivation of rural demonstration households for the study and use of the law, build a number of rural legal publicity and education bases, and carry out various forms of rural law-popularizing activities. Accelerate the electronic processing of administrative licensing matters.
