In recent years, aquaculture research has been given higher priority than capture fisheries research. Priority areas for research in aquaculture sector are: (i) fish seed production techniques to facilitate production of high quality breeds and ensure sufficient quality of seeds for aquaculture and restocking; (ii) fish and shrimp disease diagnosis and control involving studies on geographic and temporal distribution of viral and bacterial diseases, relations between environmental factors and disease occurrence; (iii) fish feed development including fish and shrimp nutrition physiology, development of new feeds, feed additives, development of database of raw material for feed and fish quality control techniques; and (iv) studies on pollution caused by industrial, agricultural and municipal pollutants and the treatment techniques for organic and inorganic pollution. Capture fisheries research is becoming less and less important. In 1997, the production from capture fisheries declined to about 40% of the total production. At present, less than 10% of CAFS's [Chinese Academy of Fishery Sciences] research programs is related to marine and freshwater fisheries. CAFS is interested in the research and development of pelagic fish trawling techniques. The following research areas have been identified for regional cooperation: shrimp disease control and prevention; red tide prediction; introduction of new aquaculture species; and technical training. Status of fisheries in China is presented and discussed
