Facility fishery is a new mode of production to realize aquaculture quality, high yield and high efficiency through scientific management and advanced aquaculture facilities and equipments, which is the inevitable trend of modern fishery development. Facility fishery is a knowledge- and capital-intensive industry, is environmentally friendly, sustainable development of the industry, with advanced, rational and scientific advantages, in line with the requirements of the development of modern fisheries, has a strong vitality.
(1) Characteristics of facility fishery
Compared with the traditional crude breeding mode, facility fishery has obvious advantages.
①Facility fishery has a higher degree of mechanization and automation, and it can rapidly apply advanced farming technology.
②Facility fishery realizes high-density breeding and saves water resources through water recycling and sewage treatment, which is an environmentally friendly, water-saving and high-yield breeding mode.
③As most of the personnel engaged in facility fishery have high scientific and cultural quality, the production efficiency of facility fishery is high, and the management level of enterprises is also high, which plays an important role in promoting the structural adjustment and technological progress of China's fishery industry.
(2) The significance of the development of facility fishery
Facility fishery has a strong industrial vitality and broad market prospects, is undoubtedly a necessary way to realize the modernization of China's fisheries.
①Facility fishery is in line with China's national conditions and resource status. China is a large agricultural country, water shortage is one of the main factors restricting the development of agriculture and fisheries. The development of facility fisheries, the use of limited freshwater resources to produce more aquatic products, can meet the diversified needs of the market, is conducive to continuously improve people's living standards. At the same time, marine fisheries, especially the fishing industry is facing a serious situation of shrinking production space, resource decline, the labor force in the fishing area to switch to a heavy task, the development of facility-based fisheries is to solve the problem of the way out of the marine fishing industry, and to promote the east of the fisheries industry efficiency, fishermen income, stability of the fishing area is an important way.
②Facility fishery in line with the development trend of modern fisheries. In today's new situation of economic globalization, the traditional fishery is difficult to adapt to the market advantage of aquatic products and diversification requirements. Facility fisheries to break the form of decentralized family small-scale operations as the main business means to achieve modernization, fisheries operations on the way to the enterprise, fishermen are no longer in the original sense of the word "fishermen", but to be able to skillfully navigate the market fisheries entrepreneurs, or fisheries industrialization of fisheries workers, is conducive to lengthening the fishery industry chain. The fishery industry chain, realize the value-added products production multi-links, from the market to obtain economies of scale.
③Facility fishery adapts to the market demand for aquatic products of high quality and diversification. Facility fisheries production of a variety of non-polluting, safe, high-quality green and healthy food, in line with China's "table economy" development trend and people's consumption of food fashion. At the same time, the facility fisheries implementation of special seasonal production of aquatic products, super, delayed seasonal balanced supply, in the market and general aquatic products to form a "staggered competition", to avoid the drawbacks of the traditional aquatic products short period of time concentrated on the market, not only to improve the competitiveness of the fisheries industry, but also to increase the benefits.
4 Development of facility fishery is China's fishery to improve international competitiveness needs. China is a large aquatic country, its aquatic products not only to meet domestic demand, but more importantly, to the world, to enhance the international competitiveness of enterprises, to create more world-famous brands. The development of facility fisheries, but also to attract foreign investment and the introduction of advanced technology, the production of characteristics, high quality, high value-added, high-tech content of aquatic products, improve the international competitiveness of the product, and effectively resist the impact of foreign aquatic products, but also to make China's aquatic products into the international market.
