The reporter learned from the Liaoning Provincial Department of Ocean and Fisheries that in 2016, the aquaculture area of the province was 1.154 million hectares, with an estimated output of 4.04 million tons and an estimated output value of 58.2 billion yuan. Among them, 219,000 hectares of freshwater aquaculture area, with an estimated output of 982,000 tons, an increase of 4.83% over the previous year; The estimated output value is 15.5 billion yuan, an increase of 6.1% over the previous year. The area of mariculture is 935,000 hectares, and the estimated output is 3.058 million tons, an increase of 3.95% over the previous year; The estimated output value is 42.7 billion yuan, an increase of 6% over the previous year.

In 2016, aquaculture was undergoing structural transformation. Liaoning accelerated the adjustment of fishery structure, continuously optimized aquaculture varieties, and vigorously developed famous and excellent new aquatic products such as penaeus prawn, river crab, loach and flounder. The supply of aquatic products was abundant. We will vigorously promote ecological and healthy farming and the integrated farming mode of rice and fishery. Through the integrated farming mode of rice and fishery (crab and loach), the three-dimensional mixed farming mode of seawater pond (fish, shrimp, shellfish and algae), and the industrial mariculture mode, aquaculture will further advance to a high-quality, efficient, ecological, safe and healthy farming mode.

At present, the structure of mariculture varieties is relatively optimized, the market regulation mechanism is emerging, the industrial adjustment and reshuffle is basically completed, and the market prospects of high-end aquatic products such as sea cucumber and abalone are promising. With the development and application of the fishery Internet of Things, the marketing channels of aquatic products will be further expanded, and the market demand will be strong, and the profit of aquaculture will rise steadily.
