Study On Sustainable Development Of Fishery Economy In Xiangyin County

The aim of sustainable development is to promote harmony and unity between man and nature. Sustainable development of agricultural regionalization has become a major issue of agricultural development, while that of fishery constitutes the basis and an important component of sustainable development of agriculture. Xiangyin County is the main area for fish production in Hunan Province, therefore, to study the sustainable development of fishery economy in this county will not only facilitate the economic growth of Xiangyin County and Hunan Province, but also provide a framework in this regard for Central China plain and other similar regions as well to follow.After analyzing the status quo and problems of fishery economy in Xiangyin County, this thesis, first of all, makes a qualitative and quantitative analysis about sustainable development of fishery economy by means of analytic hierarchy process, for the purpose of revealing the characteristics of resources, society and environment of sustainable development of fishery; besides, an evaluation index system and an assessment model of sustainable development of fishery on the basis of economic theory have been established, and the sustainable development of fishery economy in Xiangyin County has been evaluated thereby. Such index system can be divided into three levels with the top one as the objective level, the middle one as the standard level, and the bottom the index one, and further still, the middle level is composed of four different standards: sub-systems of fishery economy, fishery society, fishery resources, and fishery environment, and the bottom level is made up of 17 indexes in 4 groups.The assessment result demonstrates that the sustainable development of fishery economy in Xiangyin County is at a moderate to inferior level. Some concrete data illustrate that although the sustainable development of fishery economy in Xiangyin County is at a relatively high level, its capacity is lower, and its coordinating degree is undesirable. Secondly, it gives an analysis about the assessment result of sustainable development of fishery economy, and in terms of sustainable development theory, the author works out the reasons of such low capacity of sustainable development: it mainly results from the interior developmental capacity of several such indexes as the support of national fishery policies, fishery credit, the ratio of fishery technicians, quality index of pond environment, natural disaster incidence, and investment rate of environment protection, and from the undesirable coordinating capacity of such ones as the fishery growth capacity, the degree of fishery marketization, energy output rate and the rate of wasting resources.At last, countermeasures have been put forward. Firstly, we should take economic, administrative, and legal means to severely protect the current pond area, restrict non-farming use of land, actively develop new ponds, boldly improve ponds of medium and inferior productivity, strengthen the treatment of soil erosion, and promote the overall efficiency of pond utility so as to keep the total amount of ponds in dynamic balance. Secondly, equal emphasis should be laid to both utility and management to perfect the utility system of ponds, overcome the unbalance phenomenon of valuing utility while despising management, and to forbid predatory operation.Moreover, we should raise funds from diverse channels, increase investment, cultivate the productivity of land, enhance production capacity and optimize the allocation and utility of limited pond resources. What's more, we should strive to advance rural ecological balance, raise the capacity of preventing from and fighting against natural calamities of ponds and create necessary resource-supporting system for this and future generation in respect of sustainable development.
