The COVID-19 pandemic has affected China's economic development, international exchanges and other aspects to varying degrees, among which the impact on China's fishery development should not be underestimated. The fishery is a traditional and vast industry in China. The ongoing COVID-19 outbreak has also exposed potential problems in China's fishery development, such as the lack of specialised aquatic product quality and safety supervision and testing institutions. New problems have also arisen, such as the decline in the market demand for fish and aquatic products, affecting fishers' income, livelihood and so on. These deficiencies require China to establish a matching legal system to correspondingly solve the current legal and political problems. This paper will systematically discuss the impact of the COVID-19 on China's fisheries sector from the perspectives of 'fishers' and 'aquatic products' after the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and analyse how to deal with various problems by referring to relevant experience in light of China's national conditions and characteristics.
新冠疫情对中国经济发展、国际交流等诸多方面均产生了不同程度的影响，其中对中国渔业发展的影响不容小觑。渔业在中国是一个传统且庞大的产业。当前新冠疫情的爆发也暴露出中国渔业发展中存在的潜在问题，比如缺乏专门的水产品质量安全监督检测机构。同时也出现了一些新问题，如鱼类和水产品市场需求下降，影响渔民收入、生计等。这些不足要求中国建立配套的法律制度来相应解决当前的法律及政策问题。本文将在新冠疫情爆发后，从“渔民”和“水产品”的角度系统探讨新冠疫情对中国渔业部门的影响，并结合中国国情和特点，参照相关经验分析如何应对各类问题。
