Study on the Status, Problems and Suggestions of the Development of Aquatic Product Industry in Nine Mainland Cities of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area

Abstract

The Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area is located at coastal area of the opening frontier in China, with the Pan-Pearl River Delta region as the vast development hinterland, which is an important support point for the country to implement the innovation-driven development strategy and promote the construction of "The Belt and Road Initiative". By analyzing the current situation and existing problems of aquatic product industry in nine mainland cities of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, the future development trend are judged and important development paths are put forward to promote the high-quality development of aquatic product industry in Greater Bay Area. Nine mainland cities in the Greater Bay Area are the dominant industrial agglomeration areas of aquaculture, especially the freshwater aquaculture in Guangdong Province, accounting for 49.58% and 42.28% of the province's output value and output, respectively, and accounting for more than 50% of the province's freshwater aquaculture area, with outstanding freshwater aquaculture capacity, which is the main area of pond aquaculture in Guangdong Province. Nine mainland cities in the Greater Bay Area have a complete chain of aquatic product industry, a high overall technical level, an advantage in aquatic seedling industry, and a relatively concentrated aquatic product processing and circulation industry. Relying on huge market consumption demand in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, the processing volume of freshwater products, the circulation of aquatic products and the total output value of service industry in nine mainland cities all exceed 50% of the whole province. From the perspective of industrial spatial layout, the aquatic product industry of nine mainland cities in the Greater Bay Area generally radiates from southwest to northeast. Jiangmen and Foshan have made outstanding contributions to the development of seawater and freshwater aquaculture in the Greater Bay Area respectively, while Guangzhou and Foshan are the polarization centers of aquatic fingerlings. At present, there are still some problems in the aquatic product industry of nine mainland cities in the Greater Bay Area, such as insufficient breeding technology, low level of production modernization, great constraints on resources and environment, less intensive processing, industrial supervision to be strengthened, and low degree of industrial integration. In order to promote the high-quality development of aquaculture in nine mainland cities in the Greater Bay Area, this study summarizes the basic path, necessary conditions and core motivation, that is, with optimizing the allocation of essential resources as a basis, improving industrial policy design and strengthening talent allocation and technological innovation to drive aquaculture modernization and green industrial development with science and technology. And concrete measures and suggestions on six aspects are put forward as follows: consolidating industrial foundation, improving supervision ability, promoting industrial integration and development, enhancing brand value, strengthening industrial digital construction and giving full play to the advantages of seedling industry.
