On the morning of September 18^th, the National "14^th Five-Year" Fishery Science and Technology Innovation Strategy Seminar hosted by the Chinese Academy of Fishery Sciences was held in Haikou, China. The leading officials and experts from the Fisheries and Fisheries Administration of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the National Fisheries Technology Extension Center, Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs of Hainan Province, Chinese Academy of Fishery Sciences and its affiliated research institutes, Chinese Academy of Sciences and its affiliated fisheries research institutes, and many domestic fisheries universities attended the seminar. Representatives of four enterprises, including Nutriera Group, were also invited to attend.

The purpose of this seminar was to invite well-known domestic experts and scholars in the fisheries field to discuss the "14^th Five-Year" fishery science and technology strategy research report (draft for comments) and make a national "14^th Five-Year" fishery science and technology strategy development plan. 

Liu Zhongsong, deputy Director of the Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs of Hainan Province 

was making the opening speech

Liu Zhongsong, Deputy Director of the Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs of Hainan Province, pointed out that the national "14^th Five-Year" fishery science and technology innovation strategy research report was a programmatic document to guide the development of China's fisheries in the next five years in his opening speech. Due to its geographical advantages of Hainan Province, fishery resources played an important role in the development of fishery in China. He hoped that Hainan province would contribute to the "14^th Five-Year" fishery technology innovation and also wished that the experts and scholars participating in the seminar can provide valuable opinions and contribute more wisdom to the development of Hainan's fishery industry.

Liu Yingjie, Deputy Director of the Chinese Academy of Fishery Science, was introducing the strategic research 

on the development strategy of fishery science and technology innovation

By the strategic positioning of fishery science and technology to ensure national food security, Liu Yingjie, Deputy Director of the Chinese Academy of Fishery Science, combined with domestic and international fishery development status and trends, comprehensively introduced China's fishery science and technology innovation and development strategy research report in detail, and emphasized the core role of scientific and technological innovation in supporting and leading the development of all aspects of fishery, and from the perspective of organization and safeguard measures, elaborated on how to achieve the strategic development goals of fishery technology innovation.

Yu Xiujuan, Deputy Director of the National Fisheries Technology Extension Center,

was introducing the strategic research on fisheries technology extension.

Yu Xiujuan, Deputy Director of the National Fisheries Technology Extension Center, introduced the main results of fisheries technology extension during the "13^th Five-Year Plan" period and the "14^th Five-Year" fisheries technology extension strategic research report in detail. The report pointed out that fisheries technology extension was an important part of the scientific and technological work of fishery, and the development of fishery cannot be apart from the support and guidance of fishery technology innovation, as well as the support, service and guarantee of the fisheries technology extension. During the "14^th Five-Year Plan" period, the fisheries technology extension will focus on the general requirements for green and high-quality development of fishery, strengthen system construction, innovate working mechanism, constantly expand working areas, and improve the comprehensive service capabilities of the entire fishery industry chain.

Dr. Zhang Song, Vice President of Nutriera Group, was putting forward proposals on the content

 of the "14^th Five-Year" fishery science and technology strategy research report

Experts and scholars at the conference were then in a heated discussion on the "14^th Five-Year" fishery science and technology strategy research report. The discussion focused on the overall goals, specific content, and research route, implementation strategy and organization guarantee in the research report. Through the discussion, the research report had clearer goals, more detailed content, and more specific measures.

Jiang Kaiyong (middle), Deputy Director of the Fisheries and Fisheries Administration of

 the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, was making a summary

The final part of the seminar was summarized by Jiang Kaiyong, Deputy Director of the Fisheries and Fisheries Administration of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs. On behalf of the competent authorities, he thanked the experts and scholars participating in the seminar for their valuable suggestions on the national "14^th Five-Year" fishery technology innovation and development, and said that the future research report would be modified and perfected according to the suggestions from experts. At the same time, he pointed out that although the national "14^th Five-Year Plan" fishery technology innovation strategy only focused on national fishery development and innovation, it is related to national food security. Therefore, the fisheries and fisheries administration departments at all levels must further clarify the strategic positioning of fishery science and technology, increase investment in science and technology, improve the innovation system, cultivate innovative talents, deepen international cooperation, and strengthen transformation and extension. He also said that this seminar has listened to the real voices and needs of academia and industry and gathered the wisdom of all parties. This will definitely offer a powerful think tank into China's "14^th Five-Year" fishery technology development plan.

It is a long-term plan, mainly to make plans for major national construction projects, the distribution of productivity, and the important proportions of the national economy, and to set goals and directions for the development of the national economy. China has made the first "Five-Year Plan" since 1953 and will implement the "14^th Five-Year Plan" in 2021.

The "14^th Five-Year" Fishery Science and Technology Innovation Strategy Plan is an important part of the national "14^th Five-Year" plan. The “14^th Five-Year" Fishery Science and Technology Innovation Strategy research report (draft for comments) was launched in November 2019 and lasted for 10 months. It is a programmatic policy document guiding the innovative development of China's fisheries during the "14^th Five-Year Plan" period.
