Abstract: | This paper provides a critical review of some major efforts made by China to manage the fishing capacity of its marine capture
fisheries. It begins by reviewing the key concepts and issues closely related to fishing capacity management. Following on
this, a brief introduction to China’s marine capture fisheries is offered, especially the trends of its marine landings and
marine fishing fleets and the status of fish stocks in waters under its jurisdiction. Next comes the main concern of the paper,
i.e., some major actions recently initiated by China to deal with the overcapacity problem confronting it. The paper ends with
conclusions and suggestions. |
