In this paper we examine the effect of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) on the level of fish intake in China in comparison with the rest of the world. We also analyse the origin and destination of China's seafood products in order to understand the main patterns during the last decades. The results show that in the 1961-2011 period the rate of growth of the GDP in China doubled that of other developing regions, while the daily fish intake of China increased fourfold, making China the largest fish consumer in the world. Given the size and scale of China's role in production, consumption, and global transformation of seafood markets, China is shaping a new era of industrialization in the history of the fishing industry.
本文研究了国内生产总值（GDP）对中国鱼类摄入量水平的影响，并与世界其他地区进行了比较。我们还分析了中国海产品的来源和去向，以了解过去几十年的主要模式。结果表明，在 1961-2011 年期间，中国 GDP 的增长率是其他发展中地区的两倍，而中国的每日鱼类摄入量增加了四倍，使中国成为世界上最大的鱼类消费国。鉴于中国在海产品生产、消费和全球市场转型方面的规模和地位，中国正在渔业发展史上开创一个新的工业化时代。
