Thank you for your question. Indeed, as you said, with the improvement of people's living standards and the gradual formation of the concept of healthy eating, the consumption of aquatic products is increasing. At present, many aquatic products have changed from regional and seasonal consumption in the past to national consumption and perennial consumption, and the per capita share of aquatic products has increased from 29.2 kg in 2000 to 46.4 kg in 2020, an increase of 59%. China is the world's largest producer and trading country of aquatic products, aquatic products production has ranked first in the world for 32 consecutive years, export volume has long ranked first in the world, and aquatic product production capacity is stable.

The results of the monitoring and dispatch of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs show that the output of aquatic products in the country increased steadily in the first three quarters of this year, the market price showed a moderate downward trend since August, and the supply of aquatic products was still guaranteed. From the production point of view, the output increased year-on-year, according to our statistics, the first three quarters of the domestic aquatic products output of 43.47 million tons, an increase of 3.8%. Among them, aquaculture is the main force in the growth of production, with mariculture production of 15.5 million tons, an increase of 4.3% year-on-year, and freshwater aquaculture production of 21.14 million tons, an increase of 4.9%. According to the monitoring of the transactions of 45 aquatic product wholesale markets, the market turnover in the first three quarters of this year was 5.67 million tons and the turnover was 156.5 billion yuan, an increase of 10.5% and 14.6% respectively year-on-year. Judging from the price situation, it has stabilized and declined recently. According to the monitoring of the transaction prices of 80 aquatic product wholesale markets, the comprehensive average price of aquatic products in the first three quarters of the country was 25.4 yuan per kilogram, up 9.1% year-on-year, but it has fallen month by month since August. Mainly since the beginning of the year, the price of aquatic products has gradually increased, which has stimulated the enthusiasm of farmers in production, and the amount of seedlings invested in spring has increased significantly, which has promoted the growth of production capacity. The month-on-month increase in freshwater fish prices that everyone cares about has gradually narrowed after reaching its peak in May, and prices have fallen month-on-month since August. With the recent listing of freshwater fish out of the pond and the end of the fishing moratorium in various places, aquatic products have ushered in a period of seasonal concentration, and it is expected that the price of aquatic products will further decline. During the two festivals, the supply of domestic aquatic products market is guaranteed, and the price of freshwater fish and other aquatic products is expected to remain stable.

In the next step, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs will continue to do a good job in ensuring the stable production and supply of aquatic products. The first is to strengthen the monitoring and scheduling of aquatic product production, market, trade, circulation and supply, etc., and closely monitor the production of aquaculture in key areas, key varieties and key periods. The second is to promote green and healthy aquaculture, strengthen the prevention and control of aquatic biological diseases, strengthen production guidance, and stabilize winter fishery production. The third is to urge all localities to implement the "vegetable basket" mayor responsibility system, stabilize the breeding area, smooth the "green channel" for the transportation of fresh aquatic products, and prevent difficulties in selling and cutting off supply. Thank you.
